Find that job: Lesson 90. Learn from the rich
The rich - how we envy them sometimes! They've got it all - luxurious houses, expensive cars, faraway holidays But don't envy them - learn from them. Work out how they did it and use them as a source of inspiration.
There is a simple test to determine whether someone already is - or will end up - wealthy. All you have to do is to watch them read their favourite newspaper. Notice which paper they choose, which sections they read and which they discard. Those who have deliberately chosen to be wealthy prefer the more serious of the papers, read the money/business sections first and discard the gossipy bits.
If you want to become wealthy, you have to learn how the wealthy think. How they make money, how they invest it and how they save. You need to study hard at the University of Wealth. Read business books and magazines, find out as much as you can about wealthy people - interviews and autobiographies can be full of insight. Find a money mentor - someone who will give you the odd tip and see you on the right path. Develop understanding and knowledge of how money works.
Work on your 'look'. Look powerful and confident. Those who look powerful get treated as such. Strut your stuff. Show quality and class. Exude restrained elegance. Wear good perfume, an expensive tie, no bling. And make sure you have clean nails (and clean hands, too )
