3 Things Keeping You Broke + 1 Thing That Will Make You Rich
millionaire self help self made millionaire wealth Aug 28, 2025
For 10 years, I lived under the poverty line. I know the grind of stretching a dollar until it snaps. I know the stress of choosing between bills and groceries.
But I also know what it’s like to turn it all around, because I became a self-made millionaire.
And here’s the truth: wealth doesn’t just “happen” to people. You don’t stumble into it. You create it.
But before you do, you’ve got to stop sabotaging yourself with these three patterns that keep you broke.
#1 Blaming Others for Your Lack of Success
As long as you blame your parents, teachers, the economy, the government, the competition, your spouse, or anyone else, you stay stuck.
Blame is a trap. It feels good in the moment because it lets you off the hook. But long-term? It guarantees you’ll stay exactly where you are.
But before you do, you’ve got to stop sabotaging yourself with these three patterns that keep you broke.
#2 Complaining About What You Don’t Have
As long as you complain about how hard things are, how unfair things are, how broke you are, how expensive everything is, or how clients are “so hard to find”—you’ll stay broke.
Complaining is the language of scarcity. It keeps your focus locked on the problem instead of the solution. And where your focus goes, your future flows.
#3 Playing the Victim for Sympathy
As long as you keep playing the victim, milking sympathy because you feel like life is unfair, the economy is rigged, or nobody is helping you; you’ll never step into your power.
Yes, life is unfair. Yes, challenges exist. But sympathy doesn’t pay your bills. Victimhood robs you of the strength you need to rise
The One Thing That Will Make You Rich: Radical Self-Responsibility
The antidote to all three of these poverty traps is simple: take radical self-responsibility.
Successful people…
Wealthy people…
The ones who persevere in the face of adversity…
The ones who build empires from nothing…
They are the people who take responsibility for everything they can control.
Your business, your wealth, your success, they can only grow to the extent that YOU grow as a person.
When you take the wheel of your life, instead of sitting in the passenger seat, you can drive anywhere you want.
When you lose all of your excuses, you’ll find all of your results.
Wealth Is Built, Not Born
Let’s bust two myths right here:
- Wealth is not just for people “born into it.” In fact, 79% of millionaires are self-made.
- Wealth isn’t about luck. Proof? 70% of lottery winners go bankrupt within a few years.
Millionaires think differently and act differently around money. That’s why they don’t just earn more—they hold onto it and grow it.
If you’re ready to leave poverty thinking behind and step into financial freedom, you must rewire your beliefs, your habits, and your strategies.
