1. Negative belief.
People become prosperous because they decide to become prosperous.
They become prosperous because they believe it is okay to prosper. Because they fully believe this, they act accordingly.
Consequently they take the necessary actions that turn their faith into reality. And you can always tell what your faith is by looking at your actions. There is no other way.
People are poor because they have not yet decided to become prosperous.
2. Indifference to education (ignorance). Education is important for people to prosper. Education does not necessarily mean a college degree. Education means you have to know something. You have to be skilled to prosper. You have to have the knowledge that solves some people’s problems. That knowledge or skill is a necessary step to destroy poverty.
3. Laziness. To be successful, we have to do many things. Laziness is the enemy of success. It takes hard work and effort to succeed.
4. Promiscuity. Successful people always have family values. The poverty of ignorant and uneducated people is caused by promiscuity and lack of family values. The rich maintain stable families.
5. Wasteful spending (no savings). To prosper, you need to save. The rich have always used saving and investing to build their wealth.
6. General contempt for the future. People who have no regard for their future come to that future and find themselves poor.
7. Fear. This is the biggest cause of poverty. The wealthy have been able to put aside their fears and take the necessary steps to succeed.
