Do you see money making opportunities everywhere you go? Or do you see the obstacles that would keep you from profiting from those opportunities? There are a number of key wealth principles that can positively affect your financial outcome, should you choose to incorporate them into your life. One of those key wealth principles that has caused many to become wealthy is that they focus on opportunities, whereas those with a poor mindset focus on obstacles. This extreme difference in perceptions is a major factor for those who have created abundance, and it also reveals why some are never able to move forward with the opportunities presented to them.

When the rich see an opportunity, they are seeing potential growth with an expectation of succeeding in that situation. They have an attitude that "should things hit the fan," they will overcome the obstacles or find another way to succeed. If they do lose their capital, the rich mindset has the attitude that they can always make their money back through another opportunity.

The rich are willing to take an educated risk in a new opportunity. They research the subject and educate themselves quickly and then make a decision. If they choose to move forward, they get into the business, they get out, and make their money. Those with a rich mindset will more often have success because they are willing to take action on the opportunity.

The poor focus on the obstacles and the risks involved. Usually poor people make their choices based on fear: fear of the unknown, fear of lack, fear of losing. Because of a poor mindset, these people fear losing their money because they don't see anyway to get their money back. The poor will "prepare" for the opportunity, but in reality they're delaying about making a decision because of fear. They also expect to fail because of lack of confidence in themselves and their abilities; therefore, they never make a decision and the opportunity passes them by.

The biggest problem of those with a rich mindset is managing all the money making possibilities they see. Whereas the biggest problem of the poor is managing all the obstacles they see in the opportunities.

As an exercise to practice seeing opportunities, when someone talks about a problem or an obstacle, change it into an opportunity. You'll make the negative people upset, but you will learn the art of seeing opportunities abounding all around you.
