Do You Deserve To Be Rich?

If you believe, even a little, that you deserve to be rich, take a moment and clearly define why you should be wealthy. In asking this of entrepreneurs and professionals at workshops and conferences, it’s clear that a fair number of them do indeed believe they – to varying degrees – deserve to be wealthy, which is a minimum net worth of $1 million or more. Digging deeper, there are four broad justifications: “I really, really want to be wealthy.” Because they intensely want wealth doesn’t mean they should be rich. “I’m a good person.” Because of their good deeds and the positive ways they would use their wealth, they should be rich. “I’m talented and/or smart.” Because of their intellectual prowess or some specialized ability, they should be rich. “I know people.” Because of their network of relationships, they should be rich.
