How Wealthy People Behave That The Poor Do Not

Following is a list of the differences in the habits of the wealthy and the poor found in the book “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind-Mastering the Inner Game Of Wealth” by T. Harv Eker.I have found these distinctions to be quite true.And if you think about the actual behaviour of richer and poorer people you personally know you will be able to verify the differences yourself.

I use this checklist periodically to check my own thought patterns and behaviour and correct them.I have personally benefitted from this exercise and I urge you to try it.
