OK-I know in this Woke Enlightened Age that we are allegedly living in-everyone is equally worthy of our time & attention…everyone is valuable and unique…blah, blah, blah.
Now don’t misunderstand me.
I’m a huge believer in treating everyone with respect. I’m not for a moment advocating rudeness.
But seriously…I just don’t find poor people interesting.
They don’t do much with their lives.
They whine a lot.
They think life is unfair.
Sure…there are a lot of rich assholes. No doubt about that.
But…they also tend to be people who do interesting things…travel interesting places…engage in interesting activities.
Between the two, I’d rather hang out with the rich.

And I sure as shit-rather have them as clients.
Poor people tend to come from a mindset of fear and scarcity. I just don’t have the patience to sooth their fevered brow and try to convince them that everything will work out as they hope.
This probably doesn’t speak well about me as a person. I probably should be more “accepting” and “open” to an economic diversity of people.?
But I’m not.?
And I don’t particularly care what others think. Which is probably one of the main reasons why I (and most of the people I hang out with) are successful.
This extends to marketing. Too many consultants/advisors/business owners have a “poor” mindset. Too much fear. Too much anxiousness that “maybe it won’t work-so I better not try.”
“Poor” sucks.
Both as a type of client and as a mindset.
You need wealthy clients and a wealthy mindset.
I can show you how to get both.
Which is why I hope you’ll join me at my first ever Live Masterclass on how to Sell Shit To The Rich.

1 年What a Title: "I Don't Much Care for Poor People" Well, that's one way to grab our attention! ?? Let's hope the article has a plot twist and turns into a heartwarming tale of empathy and support for all. ?? But I understand your perspective. When you mention "poor people" it's not just about their financial status but more about their mindset – dwelling on complaints, wasting time, and resisting growth. This poor mentality can indeed lead to financial difficulties. It's essential to shift our focus towards surrounding ourselves with like-minded individuals and adopting a more proactive and positive mindset to achieve financial success and personal growth. ???? #mindsetmatters

1 年"And I don’t particularly care what others think. Which is probably one of the main reasons why I (and most of the people I hang out with) are successful." I guess it depends on how you define "successful," huh? I DO care what others think and how they feel. I'm pretty sure it's one of the things that makes me a good planner, for the rich AND the "poor."

1 年Geeze Louise, Mark I realize you're after a clickbaity headline here, but really? Having lived in the Bay Area and now LA area for most of my adult life, I've been around a lot of wealthy people who are flat, one-dimensional caricatures, and boring snobs no matter how many times they go to that $10,000 a day villa in the Seychelles.

1 年As someone who grew up poor and am now working within the financial advising space, I'd say that the misgivings you have about poor people are misguided, and that it would, indeed, benefit you to have more interactions with people who don't have much. Contrary to what you asserted above, the poor create magic all the time despite dire situations -- there's a reason that much creative art and music comes from people who struggle, yet strive. Difference is difference. Much of the disconnect in our society comes from not understanding difference, much less appreciating it on its own merits. It's easy to rationalize why we can't or shouldn't bother to engage with others who aren't like ourselves, but aside from just making us better as people, I'm sure that it would also help on the business end. Not everyone who is affluent started out that way, and class-climbers tend to mistrust the finance industry due to exactly the type of sentiment expressed above. There are wins to be had just by better being able to appreciate not only where people are right now, but also where some of them began their journeys.
