The wealthy have a completely different, hidden lifestyle most people do not even know about. Public perception is never what it looks like on the outside. Those who want you to know how rich they are, rarely are. Here are some facts about what the rich won't talk about.
1) How much things cost is not up for discussion. Don't ask.
The rich don't understand why they are constantly asked what they paid for things or how much something costs. Does anyone like being asked about something they don't care about? Does anyone know the answer to things that don't matter to them? The rich avoid those questions by hiding their identity in public.
2) Do you have friends or frenemies?
You don't notice the rich in public because they don't like being the target for jealous "frenemies" who cannot be trusted. That is an uncomfortable reality that rich people won't talk about. They don't want to be noticed by anyone except their Fed Ex or UPS delivery guys who are remembered every Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years.
3) Rich people won't talk about loans or free-loading friends and family members.
You might find it surprising that rich people loan so much money to both the needy and the greedy...more than most people will earn in their entire lifetime. Family members are first in line asking for and receiving help that turns into monthly payments for rent, credit cards, trips, cars, clothes, you name it. Rich people sometimes feel bad for having so much, they don't put a stop to the free-loaders secretly living off them. The sad part is very little appreciation is shown because no matter how much they get away with, it will never be enough to squash the green monster. Never enough.
BONUS Tip: How to make a rich person happy enough to help you get rich too.
Rich people are starving for people they can trust, both personal friends and in business. In some cases, the wealthy don't have anyone they can wholeheartedly trust and that is a sad way to live. If you are an honest, trustworthy person, you can help. Start networking in the right circles like yacht Clubs, golf courses or the Chamber of Commerce. Just be nice, be friendly and find out who has been ripped off in the past. Why?
a) You can use those bad experiences to your advantage but only if you, yourself are truly honest.
b) People who loan money to friends with sad stories are naturally generous and inclined towards helping others.
c) Rich people don't give up, they just get better at it... Find out who does background checks on new faces and you just found out who has been ripped off in the past.
It will be difficult to trust their own judgement after being ripped off, so it will take some time to build up trust with someone else but you can do it. How? Be real. Be honest. Keep your word, no matter what. You can make a difference in each others lives by giving the other what they need to be happy.
Take your friendship to a higher level with discussions about your business, it's assets, current income and how you need investors to get your business started. Explain you don't borrow more money than you have in assets otherwise you risk being over-extended and you won't do that. Show your friends on paper how your investors will earn a decent ROI and how you plan to make the payments on time. Calculate what the monthly payment is and pay half every two weeks and watch how fast your loan balance goes down and your friendship goes up.
Rich people don't normally discuss loans made to friends. They expect the other person to just write them a check and pay it back when they can. That's why some get ripped off. Now here you come, making regular, on-time payments every 2 weeks. It's going to make them feel awkward like they don't even want to take "your" money but stand firm and insist on paying the loan back. Now you have another chance to build more trust.
Get their bank account number off the back of the last check you gave them. Deposit the next payment directly into their back account and give them the receipt and watch how happy your friend is now. You've removed something distasteful from their life for which you will be rewarded. That's the way it works with rich people. They pay for comfort and convenience so unless you are a gold-digger, do the little things that mean alot if you want their help.
This is very important. You must make sure you tell them how much of a difference their help has made in your life. Show how grateful you are. Do NOT let your pride make you pretend you could have done the same thing on your own...acting like they didn't do anything because you paid them back with interest. That's just stupid and defeats the whole purpose because now you won't get any more help and your friends will feel jilted and short changed. What YOU think doesn't matter but how THEY feel does. Remember that whether you need the help or not. Take the offer, appreciate it and be thankful. What for?
That's how you make wealthy people feel important enough to take you with them. They feel needed when there is a purpose and true meaning in their life. Giving is what makes all people happy.... and happy rich people use their money to help others get rich too. Whether rich or poor, it takes everyone working together to be happy. http://mjordan.ez1ceo.com
