Top 10 Distinctions

When I recently saw an advertisement for a seminar entitled “The Top 10 Distinctions between Millionaires and the Middle Class”, I thought sounds interesting. The speaker was Keith Cameron Smith, an entrepreneur and inspirational speaker. The seminar was based on his book of the same name. And the “Millionaires” book is one of a series that he’s written. One of the great things about the book is that it is straight to the point. The author has essentially condensed a lot of information that can be found in many other books into a neat concise package. The other books include The Top 10 Distinctions between Winners and Whiners, The Top 10 Distinctions between Dream Fulfillers and Dream Killers and The Top 10 Distinctions between Warriors and Worriers.

In the seminar the author discussed in detail his path, the distinctions and included great anecdotes. He also discussed the distinctions in some of the other books. One of the things that the speaker indicated that I won’t forget is how different people think. According to the speaker:

• the very poor – think day-to-day
• the poor – think week-to-week
• the middle class – think month-to-month
• the rich – think year-to-year
• the very rich – think decade-to-decade or generation-to-generation

This breakdown caused me to consider how I was thinking. I’ll admit that it has varied over the years. The speaker charged us to stretch our thinking.

Another charge was for 10 days straight, not complain. Ha! Accomplishing this, he indicated would allow you to see the power of your tongue. Well, I’m still working on this one, but I’m determined to succeed.

Another highlight for me was the goals for different people. According to the speaker:

• goal for the very poor and poor – survival
• goal for the middle-class - to be comfortable
• goal for the rich and very rich – freedom

Here are a few of the Top 10 Distinctions between Millionaires and the Middle Class:

• Millionaires think long-term. The middle-class thinks short-term.
• Millionaires talk about ideas. The middle-class talks about things and other people.
• Millionaires work for profits. The middle-class works for wages.
• Millionaires have multiple sources of income. The middle-class only have one or two.

There were many other points to ponder and charges to act upon during the seminar. Maybe you don't want to be a millionaire, but who doesn't want financial freedom? Sounds great to me! Do yourself a favor, get the books, read them and act on them.
