Poverty: What Prevents You from Escaping It

We all strive to improve our material well-being.
Unfortunately, not everyone succeeds in this.
What prevents you from escaping poverty and earning decent money? Let's look into this in detail.
The habit of looking for the culprit of one's troubles
The first thing that experts pay attention to is that people who cannot escape poverty have a habit of looking for someone to blame for their troubles and misfortunes. It doesn’t matter who it is: parents, the state, a loved one, a neighbor, or a boss.
The main thing is: "they are to blame for the fact that I could not achieve success!" But such thinking only increases poverty. Because instead of looking for ways to get out of the current situation, a person begins to look for the culprit.
The outcome is quite predictable: time and opportunities to fix something will be lost. And then the person himself becomes so deeply immersed in his "accusatory" thoughts that he cannot do anything at all to fix the situation.
Not learning new things
One of the biggest mistakes a person who wants to earn a lot makes is to stop learning. Why is this bad? We live in a rapidly changing world.
Therefore, if we “freeze” in our development, we will not have time to adapt to new requirements in time or we will give competitors the “green light” in some industry.
After all, we ourselves do not have enough knowledge and skills to compete with them on equal terms. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly learn new things. And not only in the chosen field, but also in related ones. This will give the opportunity to create a unique product that competitors do not have.
Not taking care of yourself
Yes, yes, that's right! If a person doesn't take care of himself, then he has practically no chance of earning a lot of money.
What does self-care include? This includes regular exercise (any kind and any format!), cosmetic procedures, proper nutrition, timely rest, scheduled medical examinations (and some specialists need to be seen much more often!), creating your own image, and so on.
As you can see, the list is quite large. Don't think that some items "will only be available after earning money." Not at all! There are worthy alternatives. They can easily be found on the Internet.
Look for a way to save on anything
If the thought often flashes through your head: "To buy one thing, I need to save on the second and the third," then be sure that you are unlikely to get out of poverty. Because with such an attitude you limit yourself in the right to receive money.
Gradually replace this harmful thought with the following attitude: "I want/need to buy this thing. To do this, I need to find an additional source of income."
That is, instead of saving, look for an opportunity to earn the missing money. This way you will “allow” yourself to have more money without the fear of being left penniless.
The habit of complaining
Why does this habit prevent us from earning money? The answer is quite simple: when we complain, we spend a huge amount of physical/moral strength and time on our mournful monologue.
It is also worth noting that in the modern world it is not customary to complain very often.
This is due to the fact that people have enough of their own problems, and no one will ever waste their precious time listening to bitter stories for hours.
That is, a person deprives himself of strength, time, opportunities, and people who could help him.
So, instead of complaining, it is better to talk about something else. For example, about books or about organizing a charity event. This way you can both raise your authority and find supporters of your idea.
Earlier I talked about what a brand is and how to create it correctly.
