How did our mind work in contradictory feelings?
We all know that our Subconscious Mind control over 90 % of our life in each dimension be it a personal, professional, financial, relationship, etc. The subconscious mind is neutral and doesn’t understand the logic, like what is right and what is wrong. It understand the feeling and emotions associated with any object or situation.
Like in above examples, how subconscious mind understand the feelings associated with money, on one side you as a person is having a very good feeling about money as you want to be rich but at the same time other contradictory feeling is you are not happy seeing other rich peoples, even you classmate. So subconscious mind will neither consider your positive feeling nor negative feeling about money because of this contradiction.
If this is the case, your subconscious mind will not develop further thought processes on positive feelings about money because as soon as it develops or gives you some idea on how you can acquire a good amount of money, contradictory thoughts pop up and nullify the development.

Rich peoples focus on creating business system, which generate money for them. They solve the problem for mass, thus generate wealth. The level of problem is directly proportional to the level of wealth. If you are making difference in life of few people buy your product or service, your earning will be moderate. But if you are influencing lives of mass, then you will be millionaire or billionaire.
