Kris Krohn here and today, me and my real estate business partner Steven Miller, are gonna be talking about 15 things that poor people do that rich people don't. And instead of a quicker video, we're actually gonna step back and not just talk about the 15 things that the rich people and the poor people are doing differently. We're also gonna show you 15 things that rich people do, and how they think that makes all the difference in the world. 

So it's a little bit longer, but hang in there because this is the knowledge after all the thousands of people that I've had a chance to interview over the years and get to know and work with poor people and wealthy people. 

I think there are some huge secrets and gems that are gonna be revealed to you in 15 things that the poor people do. And also 15 things that wealthy people do. This is such a waste of time , right? Okay. We're talking about 15 things that poor people do, that rich people don't. And um,

No flute, no flutes. It's definitely one of those. Don't you dare put that in your mouth. So I wanna do a little shout out here to alix.com. They've done a great job producing a video, really. Talking about 15 things that poor people do, that rich people don't. And Steven and I, um, over the years that we've been in business, we've had a chance to work with thousands of people on their journey of wanting to be successful. 

Some of them make it and some of them don't. And we've gotten some strong opinions and ideas that we've put together after all those case studies as to the things that poor people do that rich people don't. And alix.com, eight of their 15 really resonated strongly with us. 

And then we wanted to bring some additional ideas to the table. And what I wanna invite you to do is take pen and paper and write these 15 ideas down. And if you identify with any of these thoughts and ideas, I'm gonna invite you to make the conscious choice to change those behaviors, because bottom line is they're likely not associated with successful people. Alright,

So let's go ahead and jump right in. Again, these are the 15 things that poor people do that the rich people don't. And let's start with eating fast food. Now, look, I will say that, uh, wealthy people on the go, they eat fast food a lot too. Their fast food just looks a little bit differently. Uh, often a lot of wealthy people that I know eat very healthy. 

They're very conscious about what they're eating, actually, what they're putting in their body. They are on a go, go, go. You know, they're, they're getting active, their dreams and their goals.

Uh, they're creating businesses and, and, and, uh, networking with people. And so as they're doing that, they need to have their bodies in optimal form. And So, eating fast food, the typical fast food, I won't throw out any names here, but eating your typical fast food is not good fuel. It's not good energy. 

It produces lethargy. You're not gonna be on your A game. You get in what you get out. And if you're putting crap in, you're gonna get crap out. Yep. Let's do the second one.

Okay. Number two, they buy clothes or products that are on sale. And there's an idea, there's a mentality here that says, I always need the best deal. I need things on sale. And so what they'll do is they'll end up bypassing really incredible opportunities that life has, but they're bypassing 'em because they're actually just looking for the deal. They're looking for a sale. 

They're looking for the least expensive approach, the least expensive way. And again, you're gonna get what you pay for. Can I talk about this one just a little bit? 'cause this goes into the subconscious mind. 

Find what you want. I love that. Okay, number three, waking up late. Yep. I'm talking to some of you night owls. Those of you that aren't burning the candles on both ends. In Fact, you've got the longest candle possible. 

You might be sleeping in and you might be staying out late. And ultimately, what research and studies have found is that the individuals that are sleeping in, they're not that early bird that's Getting the Worm. They're actually sleeping in. They're missing a lot of life's opportunities. And just do a little comparison here. 

Stephen and I, we've got habits over the years of waking up early to do our morning power hours, absolutely. Our routines of waking up our bodies, our minds, our spirits, reading good books, going to the gym, exercising, getting into our prayers, our meditation, and all that's doing is often by the time a lot of other people are just waking up. 

We've already soaked in so much of the beautiful promise that life has to offer. So here's our invitation: choose to wake up earlier than you normally do, and just find out how much more effective you are, how much more productive you are, or just how much more conscious, awake, aware, and appreciative of life that you are.

Absolutely. Number four, poor people blame others for their misfortune. Now, look, uh, I I get it, it can be hard if you're in a situation where you don't have money and you may see Somebody else who Has all this opulence or, you know, great things that they've been able to create for themselves, But don't ever blame anyone else for where you are. 

If you get into that habit, you have completely stripped yourself of any power to correct it. Uh, rich people, people that are wealthy, they don't blame other people for their circumstances. If something wrong happens in their lives, they take full accountability. They pull it all into themselves. They say, okay, what can I change? So that can create a different result, and that puts the power in their hands. 

So if you find yourself blaming others a lot for your misfortune, if you find yourself, uh, you know, sweeping the accountability off to somebody else, then just take it back. Take it back, and you'll have the power to create whatever it's that you want.

Well, and I wanna ask this question, is it ever rightful to play the blame game? No. And I'm gonna argue that it isn't. I'm gonna argue that if you try to create exceptions of like, no, but this person really disadvantaged me, or this person used their free agency to do this thing that hurt me, or this person really did something that they shouldn't, shouldn't have done. Every moment you spend focusing on that is in making an investment into what you don't want. 

Yeah. So I get it. You know what? Life's an affair. Steven and I, we didn't start in privileged circumstances. We started behind, we started in debt. And as we've allowed ourselves to rise, this is something that we take really personally, is that in fact, we even put on an empowerment workshop called Limitless. It's a three day event. You can learn more up here by clicking that link. 

Get with us for a few days, and we're gonna share with you the mindset of the wealthy. We're gonna share with you the mindset, not of the wealthy just in terms of riches, but the wealthy that are receiving, um, happiness, joy, and fulfillment in their life. 

That's the greatest form of wealth that I'm aware of. And what we're gonna share with you is that you never get to go into that blame game only because it disempowers you from being able to do anything, uh, productive out of it.

Absolutely. So let's jump into number five. Number five is poor people do not save money. Now, that may seem like a no brainer. They're poor, they don't have money, So they're Not saving it. But really this is a principle of budgeting and saving just on a very granular level. Poor people don't ever put any money away. 

This isn't, uh, and I'm not talking about hundreds or even thousands of dollars, if you have a very small budget, if you have a very low, a little amount of money that comes in every month, you have an opportunity that you could even just save a couple dollars. 

Like Even just a couple dollars over several months or many years could turn into enough money to get maybe a bigger thing that you've always desired or you've always wanted. It's that idea of setting a goal, sticking to it, budgeting, right? 

This is kind of going around that same conversation. So mm-hmm. poor people don't save money. If you feel like you do have a hard time saving money, I wanna invite you to read one of the classics. It's a short book. 

Absolutely. Okay. Number six, you're using credit cards or loans to buy things that depreciate in value. Okay? We're buying useless things. We're buying things that are actually not building. 

We're buying things that aren't actually helping us. And it's amazing how quickly the money can flow right out to things that lose value. So I go and buy a computer. Well, six months from now that computer's gonna be less. Even this the first hour that I walk away with it. It's less. 

Two years later it's gonna be less. Now you may need a computer, but think about some of the things. Are we buying more car than we can afford? Are we buying other things? And for that matter, it is amazing how much money can go into junk food and to things that we don't need. 

So make sure that you're learning that poor people are really good at going into bad debt. Rich people are really good at going into good debt. So this jumps right into number seven. And number seven, um, is about spending money before you get it. Poor people spend a lot of money before you. This is the credit card or the loan. 

My paychecks on Friday. I got two days to go and I already know how I'm gonna spend it. Go to, or even go, going and getting a payday loan. Uh, how many people are going off and getting these payday loans, going to these, these companies that will give you money for a title or title loans so that you can have what you want now rather than delaying that gratification for a while and earning it until you've got enough saved up so you can get it right. 

Here's the good news. This video is not an indictment on any of these things that you're doing wrong. It's an invitation that says, Mount up, take courage, cowboy up. Go out there and do something about it. If you know that you're bad at follow through, then guess what you get to do. 

And This starts with number nine. 

And number nine is about quitting people that are poor or have that poor man mentality. They often quit when things get hard. Now, I wanna help you understand something here. This is a principle that if you internalize this, it will change your life. 

Things that you've never done before will always be hard. There is a difficulty level to things that you've never done before. It may not be hard physically, it may not be hard just physically, uh, emotionally or, or, or mentally. 

But it's gonna be hard in one of those areas. When things get hard, you're that kind of person that's always just gonna quit. Throw your hands up and say, never mind, this isn't for me. 

Then you'll never accomplish anything outside of what you currently have. And if what you currently have is poor, what you currently have is not wealth. What you currently have is something that you're sick and tired of, then you have to continue through. 

The reality is, every endeavor you have, every goal that you have, every business you wanna start, everything that you want to do, it has a gestation period of time of how long it needs before it can become successful. 

And you won't figure out what it is until you're, in hindsight, you won't figure out what it is until you get that 2020 vision looking in the rear view mirror. So you have an idea. And it could be that it takes 90 days for it to come to fruition, become successful. 

But if you have practiced becoming a failure on day one, day three, day five, day 20, or 89 days before it really was gonna pop, then you've never really given any of your ideas an opportunity to bloom. And so one of the things that you get to learn how to do is instead of quitting, you get to learn how to do hard things. You get to learn how to stick with it and ultimately become the definition of constant sustainability and stick with fitness.

Alright, number 10, entitlement. Now, this is a big one, Chris. We've, uh, , we've met so many people over the years who kind of came to us. They started off with this entitlement mentality. We've been able to help them again, take on More, More accountability. What does entitlement mean? 

Well, there's this old school Disney cartoon Scene That I watched when I was a kid growing up. And it was Goofy, Goofy from Disney going up the mountain, singing the song. That guy right there, He's like, oh, the world owes me you live in. And that phrase, I sung that tune so many times, but now as an adult where I'm at, I'm like, Ugh, what A poisonous message.

I get to step up and make them happen. I get to be a self-made, I, I, I wanna talk to also the people that aren't maybe just poor, maybe even the entrepreneurs right now who have stepped into an entitlement mentality. 'cause I've been here before, Chris and I, Chris, you, you and I, we've, we've started some businesses before. And I got to a point once, I just wanna tell a quick story personal real quick. 

I got to a point once where in, in my, in our business, I was one of the owners of this business. And I got into this entitlement mentality. I thought that the business owed me something. I thought that because I had a title and ownership and all these different things that, that I was owed something that, that I, I should be exempt from some different things from, you know, uh, uh, from ridicule or whatever. 

I, I, I thought I was exempt from all this. I felt entitled. And I'll tell you, it was eye-opening for me. The moment that I actually stopped feeling entitled. The moment that I recognized that whatever I'm gonna have in life with my business or outside of my business was gonna be determined by the results that I was creating with my two hands, by my brain. And that no one had to give me anything that I had to earn it. The moment I, I flipped that switch, everything changed for me. 

And if so, if you can step outta that entitlement, you'll find so much more success coming to you. Perfect. Alright, number 11 of 15, poor people don't do the math. 

And how much will you have it? And Ask Yourself, will a hundred thousand dollars be enough for retirement? Will 300,000 be enough for retirement? I know that $200,000 sounds like a lot of money when you don't have it, but if you're making and living off of the national average of $50,000 a year, then $200,000 will last you four years. 

Or How do you do that? Most of the math I'm talking about is multiplication, division plus and minus, right? I've been living on $50,000 a year and I'm probably gonna live for 30 more years after retirement. So what's the math? Right? 

Just do the math. Like that's exactly what you're saying. It's one and a half million dollars. Yeah. Thank you. He does math really well. Um, so, and you brought up something here in this conversation that is actually number 12, which is not only do the math, but have a plan, right? 

Do the math. And number 12, have a plan. Poor people do not have plans. They,They don't have a plan. They just kind of float through life. And I love Napoleon Hill, uh, in Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill. Great book. 

Boom. Okay? Number 13 of the 15, excuses, excuses, excuses, excuses And excuses. Beget excuses. I didn't do this. I was born poor and this didn't happen to me. And I woke up late and then my car got a flat tire. And then this person said this thing to me, and my boss didn't do that. And that's when I got fired. Was It my fault it was raining? 

Yeah. And he did it to me. And, you know, and the idea of excuses is that we always have an external reason why we didn't show up and do what we did. It's what Steven said, with no plan, you're either acting or being acted upon. 

You're either out there claiming life and making it happen, or you're just drifting along like Steven said. So drifters will make excuses and people that are executing plans, they're not gonna make excuses. They're also going to take responsibility for what they didn't do.

As a resource. But oftentimes we look at our time and we just squander our time. Your time is your greatest resource. It is your most valuable Resource.

It is the only resource that you have that is limited energy. You can get more, right? You can eat food, you can go to sleep and get rest and get more energy, Money. You Can create more. 

You can create a business and get more money. Time. All of us only have 24 hours in a day. And that's limited by how many years you're gonna live. Who knows, right? So time is your Most Valuable resource. Start Treating it as such. 

I'm not a good business person. I'm not a good business person. I don't have money for that. Yeah. You know, rich people are, are, are greedy and, and, and, um, there's not enough. Well, these are just ideas. 

So the first thing that we covered is that poor people eat fast food. Instead. The new belief would be, I eat healthy food. I eat healthy Food. Absolutely. Number two, buy clothes or products on sale. 

Here's number five. Instead of not saving money, I'm an expert money saver. I'm really good at budgeting. Yeah. Or Use Credit Cards Or Loans for useless things. How about I use credit cards and loans to improve my life. 

I'm committed to the choices that I make. I follow through every time. Yeah. Number nine. Number nine is, I quit when it gets hard. What will be a new one for that, Chris?I'm consistent. I'm Constant. I like that. I stick with it. I like that a lot. 

Okay, Here's number 10. The world owes me a living. I'm entitled. Instead, it's, I create my living. I claim my life, I claim the abundance that's around me. I step in and I'm the maker of my life. Yeah. Number 11 is, I don't do the math. 

A turnaround for that could be, I do the math. I know exactly what I need to do. I've run the numbers. I love running the numbers. Number 12, no plan. Instead, we're gonna go with, I'm an expert planner. I plan for success. I'm successful because I'm an expert planner. Number 13 I make excuses. 

Now, the last one, and this is, this is a little bit of a bonus, but the video that we're, that we started with in this whole thing was from aux.com 15 things that poor people do that the rich don't. 

And I would say one limiting belief is that you're even poor. So try this on. I'm wealthy, right? I, I create an abundance all around me. I invite it into my life. I am wealthy. I am rich. Try that on.

 If you start to think that way, then all of these little things that you've identified in your life that you may need to shift and change and, and create some new habits around are going to start to, to bring you out of that poverty, out of that poor man's mentality and create the wealth that you're looking for. 

So instead of 15 things poor people do, this video is 15 things that wealthy people do. Absolutely.

Really makes you wanna reflect, doesn't it, on your habits, the things that you do. And at the end of the day, you can keep any habits you want, but I think it's worth studying these 15 different things and just asking what's worth fighting for? What's worth dying for? What's worth changing? 

And I hope that if you found even just one thing to change, it's gonna help you be far better off.
