How Rich People Think – Don’t Trade Time For Money

Restored from the Empower Network archive (2011–2017), lightly edited to meet our current advertising standards. Views are the original author’s.

As promised, I’m back today with the next chapter of the book I discussed yesterday in this post. 

Middle class thinks about money in linear terms….world class thinks of money in non-linear terms

The average person believes in trading time for money. Either in the form of a salary, hourly wage, or hourly rate – the average person thinks of money and trades time in a linear fashion. 

The average person believes earning money is directly tied to time. That the only way to earn more money is by working more hours, thus trading more time. 

Wealthy people know that approach is short sighted. There is a saturation effect that takes place with the trading time for money approach…

There is only so much time in a day. Period.

The wealthy look to generate money through ideas that solve problems in the marketplace. They know that there are no limits to the number of ideas one can generate. And by building (or using) leveraged systems around their ideas, money is made in a non-linear fashion.

Another term for linear income is earned income. The masses work for earned income. Wealthy people know that earned income is NOT the way to wealth. 

Wealth is found through passive income. The wealthy, through their ideas, build or create assets that produce passive income for them. Passive income is income that comes in month after month.

So while the masses do work once and get paid for it once, the wealthy do work once (hard work sometimes) but get paid for it over and over again. 

Passive, non linear income gives you TIME freedom. The more passive income you have, the more time you have to produce more. That’s how the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.  

Do you think of money in a linear way? Or in a non linear way? Join the discussion in the comments box below!

I’ll be back tomorrow with the next chapter.
