How Can Poor People Become Rich?

 [How Can Poor People Become Rich?]

The truth is, the method for "poor people to become rich" is 90% about the **"order of thinking and action,"** rather than talent or luck.

There's a common principle shared by many successful people (those who built their wealth in one generation).

Here, I'll introduce realistic and highly reproducible steps.

Please read this as a "strategy," not an emotional argument.

💡 [Conclusion]

To become rich, poor people need to change their approach in this order:

"How to spend money" → "How to earn money" → "How to increase money"

🥇 Step 1: Change the "flow" of money (the power to protect)

The common characteristic of people without money is that they don't see where their money is going.

First, let's visualize "what you're spending money on."

✅ What to do:

Automatically record expenses with a household budget app (e.g., MoneyForward)

Optimize fixed costs (rent, insurance, mobile phone)

Focus on "efficiency" rather than "saving" (stop wasting money on cheap things)

💬 Goal: To generate "even a small amount of money left over" each month.

That will later become the "seed for investment."

🥈 Step 2: "Commodify" yourself (the power to earn)

The fastest way to escape poverty is to "sell your skills."

✅ First things to do:

Start a side hustle (e.g., CrowdWorks, skill-sharing platforms)

Articulate your strengths and experiences and turn them into "value"

Skill up (sales skills, writing, design, programming, etc.)

💬 Important mindset:

Earn through labor → Earn through systems → Earn through assets

Move up the stages in this order.

🥉 Step 3: Make your money "work for you" (the power to increase)

It's important to gain experience in making your money work for you, even with small amounts.

✅ Practical examples:

Index investing starting from 10,000 yen per month with NISA (Nippon Individual Savings Account)

Reinvesting the profits earned from side hustles

Don't let your money sit idle in the bank; let it compound.

📈 The principle of wealthy people:

Create a system where money "works for you" as quickly as possible. 🧠 Step 4: Rewriting Your Mindset to Think Like a Rich Person

This is actually the most important step.

Poverty is not a "state" but a "habit of thinking."

Poor Mindset Rich Mindset

The present is important, the future can wait Current actions create the future

Afraid of failure Failure is a learning experience

Selling time for money Buying time with money

Working = Income System = Income

Can't do it because I don't have money Start small, even if it's just a little

💬 When your "way of thinking" changes before your actions, your reality changes.

🧱 Step 5: Create a "System," Even a Small One

Wealthy people always create a "system that generates money automatically."

Starting with a side hustle is okay.

Examples:

Content sales (notes, e-books, courses)

Advertising revenue from YouTube or blogs

Skill-based or information-based businesses, not inventory-based businesses

👉 Gradually build a "flow of money that comes in without working."

💼 Step 6: Keep Learning

The biggest difference between "poor people" and "rich people" is the amount they invest in learning.

Rich people:

Spend money on books, online courses, and networking

Invest tens to hundreds of thousands of yen annually in self-improvement

Don't hesitate to pay for "information"

💬 The people who try to get information for "free" end up paying the most.

Make your money work for you through investment

Change your thinking to a "rich person's mindset"
