- Answer to Poor people work hard every day. What's the difference between a poor and a wealthy hardworking person? by Hector Quintanilla

Money is abundant. Money is EVERYWHERE!

The government has money, the banks have money, schools have money, restaurants have money …

You have money, your friends have money!

The rich have money, the poor have money!

Money is EVERYWHERE and always moving. Money is “flying” all around us, ALL the time, 24 hours a day — everyday, 365 days a year!

What’s the difference between a poor, hardworking person versus a wealthy, hardworking person?

The difference is in HOW they ‘catch’ money.

Poor, hardworking people invest their limited working hours ‘chasing’ money, while the wealthy, hardworking people will invest the same amount of limited working hours building an asset that will “catch” money for them.

For example, spiders will NEVER work hard chasing flying insects to make a living. Instead, they will work hard building a spiderweb that will catch abundant flying insects for them.

That’s called an asset. It works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, catching flying “money” — even while the spider sleeps.

That’s the secret.

Schools won’t tell you this. They will teach you to chase money, which leads to the paycheck formula:

(College degree) x (Time) = Paycheck

Warning: That’s an energy-draining trap!

There’s only one solution: Entrepreneurship.

Stop making excuses and start building your “SPIDERWEB” today!
