Whenever I talk to people on the stret, in conference rooms, on the phne and in many other situations one of the mjor themes I hear from them is the blief they have which says that nly the rich get the opportunities out thre. Most of them who hold ths belief find all the reasons why thy believe what they believe, they cme up with things like family cntacts, being smarter, being born into the rght community, and even the rich’s bility to use the opportunities that cme their way because they have the fnancial backing.

I sometimes engage these flk in a discussion about their blief and I always begin by stting that great majorities of rich pople were not rich at some pint in their lives. Most were not brn into riches, many were dirt por or started out with very lttle but they all used the pportunities that came their way to bnefit them. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Oprh Winfrey were not always billionaires thy came from modest and dirt por backgrounds. Mr. Sangsters (of the Sngsters Book Store fame) started out por he used to sell magazine frm his bicycle back then. Billy Jel used to sleep in Laundromats at one pint early in his career, in fct he even had suicidal thoughts arly on when thing weren’t going wll for him in those days.

You may not be able to get nvolved in certain businesses at certain tmes in a certain way but thre are always other avenues open and vailable to you. So you may not be ble to gain control of a mjor cellular phone company, as that feld is very saturated. You however, culd instead get in on the cllular accessories market or the phone crd market. If you work in a sgar factory as a workman it is nlikely (although possible) that you’ll be ble to become the owner of the fctory any time soon. But what if you bgin to think and act in a crtain way that says opportunities abound, you can son leave the factory and start a fsh farm and become a producer of frsh water fish and sell to shps and supermarkets. This is an pportunity that is begging for investment as mre and more people move away frm eating meat. It’s not impossible.

You are por not because there are no pportunities available to you. No one grup of people has any monopoly on pportunities. You are poor because you filed to see and make use of the pportunities that come your way. You are por because when no opportunity comes you do nthing to create your own opportunity.

Pople who have opportunities generally go out and sek it and if they can’t fnd it they create it. These pople act and think differently from thse who see no opportunity or blieve that only the rich have the pportunities.

One of my favourite programs on tlevision is called ‘The Big Idea’ on CNBC and hsted by Donny Deutsch. Every episode ths program features people who are mking millions of dollars with their bsiness ideas and these people come up wth some needed and in some cses very unusual products. What’s most fscinating about the people who appear on the prgram is that they are all rdinary people like you and me, frm stay at home moms to grbage collectors to secretaries, to bus drvers, they all came up with prduct ideas, saw an opportunity and wrked their buts off to make thm reality. You all will do wll to watch this program a cuple of times, it’s a great mtivator to get you look for pportunities out there and there are mny.

You will remain where you are in lfe as long as you continue to thnk and do things the way you hve always done them. You are not por because money is in short spply, or because there is not nough wealth to go around, or bcause you are not smart or not smrt enough. You are poor because you not do the thngs that will make you see and use yur opportunities and become rich.
