Brian Tracy says the rich stay rich because they focus on wealth and success while the poor focus on lack and fear. He outlines three laws: replace negative thoughts with desired outcomes, dwell on what you want, and align your words and actions with your goals.

The rich get richer, the poor get poorer. Why? It's because the rich think about wealth and affluence all the time. And what do the poor think about? The poor think about lack, loss, and limitation, risk, danger, fear, failure, all the time. So if you want to unlock your potential, if you want to go straight to the stars, you have to use the Law of Substitution to keep your mind on what you want. Use the Law of Concentration to dwell continually on the results you desire. The solution-centered rather than problem-centered, be goal-centered rather than loss-centered, and the Law of Subconscious Activity will begin to adjust your words, your actions, your feelings, your emotions, and everything to the point where you will draw into your life the people and circumstances that will harmonize with it. What I always say is, if you aren't going to go out and do it, someone else is. So why not you?
