“Do you still care about this little money?”

“Are you also involved in this little profit?”

This kind of talk is the easiest to lead people astray in their views on wealth, so don't be fooled!

I read in a book before that over 80% of wealthy individuals admit that the starting point of their wealth accumulation is often a 'small business that others look down on.'

People have completely different psychological weights for things they already possess and things they are about to gain.

What truly widens the gap between classes is not about whether something is dignified enough, or whether one wears a long gown, but rather:

1. The keen capture of major opportunities

2. The respect and accumulation of countless small opportunities

A few years ago, you would find that many celebrities who have already achieved financial freedom still go to Douyin and Kuaishou to sell products.

It's not because they lack money, but because deep down, they believe: they have the potential to become the new leaders in this field.

Even if at the beginning, there are only a few hundred in sales commission or a few thousand in placement fees, for them, it is all positive feedback, a signal that 'I still have greater potential.'

They may not lack money, but they cannot do without these kinds of signals.

The cost of living is actually quite similar for everyone; what is truly expensive is the opportunity cost.

Anyone who genuinely feels that 'this little money is beneath them' is likely to miss out on a big fortune.

The reason wealthy individuals can become wealthy is due to one core secret: they fundamentally respect every penny and every opportunity to make money.

And those who feel they can rise above money and disdain 'small money' at will,

will either go bankrupt or miss the most crucial leap of their lives.
