End of Optimism in America?

By Steve Siebold

Mort Zuckerman, the editor of U.S. News and World Report, wrote an article recently in the Wall Street Journal, entitled, The End Of Optimism in America. I received several calls from the press asking for a comment on the article, and have given my response on numerous radio and TV shows. I like Mort Zuckerman. He’s a smart guy. This time he’s wrong. I’m proud to be an American, but I’ll refrain from beating my chest too much on this one because I think the question extends far beyond our shores. There are so many great countries in the world struggling in

Are You Willing To Fight?

By Steve Siebold

I was giving a speech a few days ago in New York, and someone in the audience asked me what mental toughness was really about. I responded with, “It’s about getting what you want.”  And that’s what makes it so valuable. Maybe you want to be the best mom or dad in the world. Maybe you want to have lots of friends. Maybe you want to be a millionaire. We all want something, and mental toughness is the fastest way to get it, because it separates you from the pack. Most people never even decide what they want, so they half-heartedly

The Secret Strategy of the Super-Rich

By Steve Siebold

After 26 years of interviewing the wealthy, one strategy they taught me outranks all the others. It’s the strategy that catapulted me from no money to millionaire. The first million didn’t happen overnight, but the second, third and subsequent millions came quickly. Once I learned how to think like the rich, this secret strategy was the mechanical process that generated the money. Like most strategies of the world class, it’s not really a secret, but I call it that because so few people use it. I don’t know if it’s laziness or lack of awareness, but whatever the reason, this is

Are You Still Dreaming?

By Steve Siebold

As I travel across the country on my latest book tour, all I seem to hear from people (including the TV anchors interviewing me) how bad things are and how they’re never going to be the same. This is the mindset of the masses, and it’s a dangerous trap. The wealthy and successful people I’m talking to are regrouping to compete and thrive in the new economy…and they’re EXCITED about the NEW opportunities this correction has to offer all of us. Watch this short video post and ask yourself this critical thinking question: Are you still dreaming and planning for the

5 Steps to Getting Rich

By Steve Siebold

Since my new book, How Rich People Think, was released a few weeks ago, I’ve been bombarded by the press with the same burning question: what are the steps to getting rich? I love this question because very few books or speakers actually address it. The idea of thinking your way into a fortune falls short, because without action it will never happen. Movies like ‘The Secret’ made people more aware of their potential, but didn’t tell the rest of the story. In this recent interview on NBC, I explain the 5 steps the rich have taught me to follow over

World’s Highest Paid Skill

By Steve Siebold

One of the questions I’m being bombarded with on my 50-city, How Rich People Think, TV interview tour is; how can I rebuild my 401K so I can eventually retire? This global recession has cost most of us a lot of money, and some of us our jobs. People under 50 have time to recover, but what about the baby boomers who have lost so much of their wealth and can’t land a job? This is the front page story in USA Today newspaper today, and if you’re over 50, it’s an article worth reading. I’m writing this post in the

Building a World-Class Network

By Steve Siebold

The most successful people have the largest networks of powerful people who can help them. While the average person is randomly passing out business cards and enduring endless networking mixers, the smartest business people target the rich and powerful in an attempt infiltrate their inner circle. This is not to be confused with social climbing or using people. It’s done with the sole purpose of a developing a long-term, symbiotic relationship with people who have substantial contacts, credibility, and influence in the marketplace. Neither life nor business is a level playing field, and the most strategic people end up winning most

Steve Siebold on FOX News

By Steve Siebold

The media has really taken to my new book, How Rich People Think. In the last 5 days I’ve been interviewed on FOX, CBS, NBC, and ABC. I’ll be crisscrossing the country for the next 6-months doing TV interviews, then heading over to the UK and Australia for more. Notice the kinds of questions the interviewers ask, and it will give you an idea how most people think about money. The recession has created even more fear, which will lead people to make short-term decisions with their money that will generate small returns. Now is the time to THINK BIG and

Do You Think Like a Millionaire?

By Steve Siebold

I started interviewing millionaires in 1984. For the last 26-years, I’ve chased them from Palm Beach to Aspen, and their advice changed my life. My new book, How Rich People Think, came out yesterday, and is already creating a stir in the national media. Yesterday I was interviewed on FOX in Orlando, NBC in Tampa, and today I’m on CBS in Chicago. If you ever dreamed of being rich, PLEASE study this book. It’s 200+ pages of pure content. There are no stories. This is a study guide on the differences in thinking between the middle class and world class, and
