Keep It Under Your Hat from The Rules of Money

This is a series of Excerpts from “The Rules of Money” by Richard Templar.

Now you have embarked on a new journey, a new direction, it might be worth keeping it under your hat. There may come a time when you will need to discuss what you are doing with money mentors but for the moment don’t broadcast what you are doing. There are several reasons for this:

Other people’s opinions can often be negative and this can put you off.
If everyone is doing it, there may be less room for you.
There is no need to give away all your best ideas.
Having other people discussing your business amongst themselves is never good for you
You don’t want to be sen as preaching or trying to convert people to your way of thinking
No one else really wants to know what you’re up to – if they ask how you are, reply with a simple ‘Fine’ rather than a lengthy explanation of what you are doing.
It’s nice having a secret – gives you a warm, smug, glowing feeling.

If you go round broadcasting what you’re doing, there will be people around you who will get jealous and will do pretty well anything to put you off. After all, you are saying goodbye to them in a way. You are proclaiming that the old you, the old lifestyle, isn’t good enough anymore and you are off the postures new. Of course they are going to be unhappy about that. So keep it under your hat. That doesn’t cost a cent.

NOW YOU HAVE EMBARKED ON A NEW JOURNEY, A NEW DIRECTION, IT MIGHT BE WORTH KEEPING IT UNDER YOUR HAT

The interesting bit is that even if you did go telling everyone, they’re unlikely to do anything about it. Most people would rather watch television than drag themselves out of their pit of poverty. People really hate being preached at, lectured at, encouraged to think about their lifestyle or told that what they are doing isn’t good enough. Gaining prosperity is one of those things you do privately, clandestinely, surreptitiously. No that there is anything wrong, just that it’s best done alone.

If you enjoyed this excerpt, I would recommend you to get a copy from Amazon (it’s about $10), The Rules of Money: How to Make It and How to Hold on to It
