How The Rich get Richer
March 28th, 2007 by Matthew Jabs
Today I came across possibly the best blog article I’ve ever read. The focus of the article was to educate people on how to take their existing income, and make it more useful and purposeful. The author, Brian Lee of GeniusTypes, strives to pass on his formula for personal, financial, success; and is not just passing on good ideas or good budget information, his article gives us a personal account of how his mind-set change worked for him, and how it can now work for us. Brian teaches us how to take our existing income, change our current perception of our income, and then apply the new perception to make our money go farther.
The point in the article that really drove it home for me was when Brian mentions talking to a buddy and asking his buddy to do something that cost money. His buddy, who was pretty well-off said, “I don’t have any money.”
Brian was like, “What are you talking about? You have all kinds of money. What about the $300 you made last night?”
His buddy responded, “That money is for rent. If I make a little extra money tomorrow we can hang out.”
Then…well…in Brian’s words, “I couldn’t believe my ears. Rent wasn’t due for two weeks. Besides, why was this guy trying to tell me he didn’t have any money when everyone knew he was doing just fine. Why couldn’t he just spend that money now and use the money he made the next day for rent?”
This conversation with his friend changed Brian’s way of thinking and I believe it has just changed mine! I’m not in debt, but I don’t feel like my money is going where I want it to, the way I want it to. Not any more baby!
I was so inspired by Brian’s article, that I donated to his PayPal account. I too have a PayPal account that eJabs readers can donate to, but have never donated to another site myself…thanks for breaking me in Brian.
Here is the link to Brian’s fantastic, life altering article. It’s very Steve Pavlina-ish! 
If Brian’s article helps you, please feel free to leave him a tip.
