Hello everyone!! Are you struggling financially? Would you consider yourself to be in the Middle class? If you are and you believe in the Middle Class, you may be setting yourself up for financial disaster!! Grant Cardone's book "The 10X Rule," Will show you why this type of thinking is "wrong." So keep reading and let me know what you think? Enjoy!
IT'S TIME TO BREAK OUT OF THE MIDDLE CLASS!!!
10X RULE CHAPTER 11 "BREAKING OUT OF THE MIDDLE CLASS"
Grant Cardone begins this chapter by asking the reader not to take offense to what he talks about in chapter 11. He clarifies that many people spend their whole life trying to get into the middle class. However, he says that IT'S THE WRONG GOAL TO HAVE!!!
GRANT'S EXPLANATION
It's time to break out of the middle class mentality! The middle class is the group that is hurt most by this mentality. This leaves them most susceptible to insecurity and pain. Although this is the group that seems the most trapped, manipulated, and at risk. Before you strive to become middle class let's inspect the statistics of this group.
THE INCOMES OF THE MIDDLE CLASS
Reports from Wikipedia and the 2008 Census suggest that the middle-class income range is somewhere between $35,000 to $50,000 per year. Another study showed that these figures are between $22,000 and $65,000 per year. It's no secret that it would be extremely difficult to live on either of these income levels in an urban area like New York or L.A., much less feel financially secure.
HOW TO CREATE INCOME IN EXCESS OF WHAT YOU NEED
A client of Grant's sent him a text message on a Sunday afternoon. His text read: "GRANT, I HAVE TO NEXT $10,000 TO KEEP MY DOORS OPEN THIS MONTH, HOW CAN I DO THIS?" Grant received this message during a Sunday football game. So he asked him, "Are you watching the game today?" He sent a message back saying "yes." Then Grant replied, "What are you doing taking a Sunday off to watch the game?" "You should be out distributing fliers, spending every second of every hour trying to create income in excess of what you need. And by the way, you need $100,000." "Sunday," He responded, "is a day of rest." Oh, boy!! Grant replied, "Sunday is for those that worked the other six days!" The Lord wasn't talking to the people who are short on funds and haven't earned the day of rest. So turn off the game, get off your couch, and go get the money you need! QUIT BEING A MIDDLE CLASS SLAVE AND GO CREATE THE INCOME YOU NEED TO SECURE WEALTH AND FINANCIAL FREEDOM FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR HOUSEHOLD AND YOUR COMPANY!
The moral of this story is this: YOU WILL ALWAYS BE AT RISK IF YOU OPERATE BASED ON WHAT YOU NEED AND THEREFORE JUST "GETTING BY."
THE MIDDLE CLASS MENTALITY UNFORTUNATELY WILL NOT CREATE FINANCIAL SECURITY....
SOMETHING TO REALLY CONSIDER
It only takes a bit of waking up to discover that the middle class is a promise without fulfillment. Today the wealthiest 5 percent of people control $80 trillion, which is more money than has been created in the history of mankind. If you knew that you had the same energy and creativity to make it to the next level, wouldn't you give it a try?
