What is The Rat Race?










The main reason people struggle financially is because they spend years in school but learned nothing about money. The result is people learn to work for money – but never learn how to have money work for them” – Robert Kiyosaki.




Are you in the Rat Race?

If you answer YES to any these questions, you are in the race.


·        Is your major source of income is selling your time and skills to other people?
·         Do you have a loan or credit card debt and you are working hard to pay it?
·         Are you bonded by your company, where you have to pay the bond if you are going to leave before your contract end
·         Are you praying everyday that your company will not be hit by the recession so that you will not be laid off?
·         Do you have scholars back home, and you cannot afford to lose your job or else they will stop schooling?
·         Do you have a car or a house in which the ownership or title is not yet in your name and you are working hard to pay the monthly amortization?
·         Do you use your car only on weekends and you commute to work because of high gas price?
·         If your project or the transaction you are making ends, will your income also ends?
·         Do you have sales quotas to meet or else you will find yourself applying to other companies?
·         Do you work harder, become better employees, and even more dedicated?
·         Do you get large pay check and wonder where all the money went.You pay some mutual funds and buy groceries with your credit card. The children reach 5 or 6 years of age, and the need to save for college increase as well as the need to save for your retirement?
·         Do you go back to school to get more specialized skills so you can earn more money. Maybe you take a second job. Your incomes go up, but so does the tax bracket you're in and the real estate taxes on your new large house, and your Social Security taxes, and all the other taxes?



 If you look at the life of the average-educated, hard-working person, there is a similar path. The child is born and goes to school. The child graduates, maybe goes on to graduate school and then does exactly as programmed: looks for a safe, secure job or career. The process repeats into another hard-working generation. This is the 'Rat Race'


Many people live in rat race without realizing it. You may be a high corporate executive with a high paid job, but you work 12 hours a day and some time even more. You hardly see your family, let alone participate in your children school and social curriculum. You stress yourself out every day, meeting after meeting, never ending entertainments, traveling on the road or by plane are becoming part of your life, but you have no time for your family vacation for the last couple of years. And so when the time comes that you have been laid off or retire, you wonder how you will live the rest of your life without a paycheck.

Escape the Rat Race



I. Know yourself.

Know yourself; this is your start point, your first step in the long journey of your successful life. What are your goals?

“Desire is the starting point of all achievements.”

What do you want from this life? Where do you want to be in the next ten years? What do you want to be remembered for after you bow your head to death?

II. Live within your means.

As income increases, your expenditures go up as well. You think that your paycheck will always be there. And so it is okay to spend on trips, luxurious meals, buy a new wardrobe and the like day in and day out. Remember that the amount of income that you receive does not define your being rich or poor.

It does not matter how much you earn, what matters is how you have a good money management habit.

“Managing money doesn’t restrict freedom. It PROMOTES freedom.”

III. Adopt the mindset of a winner.

Mediocre employees tend to complain endlessly. Are you most likely saying “I am not paid enough”, “My employer is unfair” or “I will only give based on what I get.” These are the attitude of a loser.

Instead of complaining, you go out of your way to make things happen, despite present limitations. By adopting this mindset, you will most likely climb the ladder of success more quickly than anyone else in the workplace

Your Income Can Grow Only To The Extent You Do”. – T. Harv Eker
IV. Become financially literate.

“Academic qualifications are important and so is financial education. They're both important and schools are forgetting one of them.” -Robert Kiyosaki

Robert Kiyosaki says that formal schools teach students how to work in a company. They do not teach them to own their company. Financial literacy is the ability to think of profitable ways to increase your financial status in life. It educates you to think of ways money will work for you

"Getting rich begins with the right mindset, the right words and the right plan." – Robert Kiyosaki

Remember knowing is not enough!
Only understanding with Action to make it happen can make the difference!

"What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing." - Aristotle

Lack of knowledge or Lack of Will?

Why, in the Industrial Age, did most parents want their children to become accountants, attorneys, engineers etc...? Have you noticed that many of the brightest graduates from our universities want to work for college dropouts... dropouts such as Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Michael Dell, and Ted Turner?

"I studied everything, study hard, but never topped & never became Cum Laude, Magna or Summa Cum Laude  BUT  Today, the topnotchers and honors of the best universities are my employees." - Bill gates 

 Life is truly not a battle of skills but a battle of WILLS. 

"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will."- Vincent T. Lombardi 

Rich People vs. Poor People

From the Secrets of the Millionaire Mind Book:

The book is built upon the concept that rich people have a different “money blueprint” than the poor.


MONEY BLUEPRINT is the internal program regarding our beliefs about rich people, money, wealth, ability to earn money and enjoy it.


If you want to become rich, all you have to do is change your money blueprint (thoughts and habits) or MOS (Money Operating System) to be that of a rich person.













Success Starts from your Mind

“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe the mind can achieve”– Napolean Hill

What is Success to you, and how do you measure success? I have found that is rarely the same description for any two people. Some people measure success by their income, an athlete may determine success by wins or ranking in a particular sport. The business owner may measure success by the amount of profit their business nets every year.


Our success starts from our minds. The more we think of success, the more we are motivated to act toward making our dreams of success a reality.


“The mind is everything. What you think you become.”
- Buddha 

Having the mindset of success is the first step to achieving all your goals and ambitions. Once you’ve got that down pat, the rest will inevitably follow. Just remember to keep your thoughts positive, to give it your 100% and to look for the bigger picture

“If you think you can do it, or you think you can't do it, You are right.”
-Henry Ford

And that's what the wealthiest and richest people today have: A Millionaire's Mindset. A Millionaire's Attitude, thoughts, beliefs and self talk that direct and guide them, almost automatically, to make money, have success and achieve their dreams. They have a wealth mindset and a success attitude




“Success is a state of mind. If you want success, start thinking of yourself as a success.”
-Dr. Joyce Brothers
