Features: In real life, the vast gap between the rich and the poor does not surprise us, but the significant difference between successful and unsuccessful individuals does shock us. Some people seem to achieve great success effortlessly, while many others rely on others' help just to survive. This phenomenon is well-known in the wealthy United States! We know that all people are born equal. When you are in the maternity ward of a local hospital, looking at those newborns, can you tell who will succeed and who will fail in the future? I believe it is impossible. These young lives, whether in terms of physical condition or the number of brain cells, show no significant differences. Yet, who among them will later achieve great success in their careers, and who will end up on the streets singing and begging—this is hard to say, isn’t it? Why do some people become wealthy quickly but then fall into decline, while others fail before even achieving prosperity? This happens to many ambitious and proactive individuals. The reason for this phenomenon lies partly in their short-sightedness, as they fail to establish a stable and secure financial plan but instead invest large sums of money in entertainment or gambling, or they are obsessed with buying lottery tickets. On the other hand, some are too cautious, afraid to take any risks, because they seek tangible results. Despite the vast differences in their thinking patterns, both types of people end up the same way—they cannot become true millionaires. Is it true that taking risks leads to wealth? It sounds plausible. Most people who have become wealthy will tell us that they took great risks on their path to success. But when you hear this, don’t jump to conclusions. The idea that taking risks leads to wealth is deceptive, because we only hear the stories and accounts of the wealthy who succeeded in the face of risk, but we never hear from the thousands upon thousands of people who took the same or similar risks but ultimately failed. We know someone won a $10 million lottery, but no one cares about the fact that over 10 million people each spent $1 to enter, yet none of them won anything. What we want to tell you is that bravely embracing known risks is the mindset of amateur wealth creation. In this book, we will explore this mindset and show you how changing your thinking pattern can transform your life, especially your financial situation. In fact, if you have ever wanted to change your lifestyle or improve your financial status, you must change your old mindset and fundamentally clear away the confusion. Let’s first consider the question, “How can I become wealthy?” and then think about, “What am I doing wrong that I can’t become wealthy?” In the United States, if you are not wealthy yet, it means you must have made some mistakes, because the current state of the U.S. economy has provided people with many opportunities that people in the past dreamed of. These opportunities have existed since Venice was the most powerful commercial city in Europe in the Middle Ages. Moreover, it is incredible that in the United States, these earning opportunities are equal to everyone, not just for a privileged few. Therefore, if you haven’t made money in the U.S., it must be because you made some mistakes. To change your destiny, the first step is to change your mindset. Reading is done from the beginning to the end; however, success starts with the target—the desired outcome—and then analyzes the actions needed to achieve it.
