There is one secret that
almost every rich person knows. This secret is very important because it’s the
reason they are rich in the first place. This big secret can be summed up in
the words of the mighty Aristotle: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence,
then, is not an act, but a habit.”
Rich people have gone through
the painful process of forming rich people’s habits, and you can become
financially prosperous as well if you make up your mind to do the
same.Together, let’s examine 10 habits of the richest people in the world to
help you make up your mind to make these habits yours, too.
1. They are goal setters
Rich people set goals that
make them rich. People don’t become rich by accident. Rich people are very
deliberate: they set goals to become rich and they eventually achieve those
goals. The act of goal setting itself is a very rewarding exercise because it
helps you to see and feel the money you want to have even before you get it.
2. They focus on one thing
at a time
A laser beam can cut through
very hard objects—it can cut through almost anything, in fact—and this is
because of its unusual ability to concentrate all its power on a particular
spot on the object until it begins to melt. Rich people are usually like laser
beams. They set outrageous goals, but they stay focused on that one goal,
directing all their activities and efforts towards achieving that goal until
they accomplish it. Average Joes, on the other hand, often have no focus; they
just tend to do whatever comes their way and take whatever life hands them. If
you want to be rich, be goal oriented and stay focused.
3. They have great respect
for time
Brian Tracy said that rich
people think in terms of what they earn hourly rather than monthly or annually.
Because they think hourly, whenever they are spending time on unproductive
activities, they think about how much they are losing with every passing
moment. Rich people don’t spend too much time on social media or watching TV.
They work around the clock and cannot afford to waste any minute of their day.
4. They spend less than they
earn
As simple as this may seem,
it is the secret to getting wealthy: always spend less than you earn. The
problem with poor-thinking people is they increase their expenses as their
income increases. They buy better cars, bigger houses and they remain poor or
average. Think about this in terms of percentage; if you want to be rich then
follow the motto, “Save 10% of whatever you earn.” But be smart about it. As
Warren Buffet said: “Do not save what is left after spending, but spend what is
left after saving.” I also advise that you work with a budget and that you keep
an income and expenditure statement.
5. They work very hard
Except for people who
inherited great riches, I have not seen any lazy rich person. Rich people work
very hard and they also work constantly. People that work hard can’t be behind,
they are always on top of their profession whether they are business people,
self-employed, or even employees. They always do things that ordinary people
cannot do.
6. They continually learn
and grow
The more you know is the more
you earn. Your learning power determines your earning power. As much as it is
important to work hard, hard work alone will not make you rich. Before money
can be earned, value must be given in return, and the only way to add more
value to your clients is by first adding more value to yourself. This can only
be done through continuous learning. Make up your mind to develop new skills
and gain more experience every day.
7. They keep rich company
Rich people don’t have poor
friends. As the old saying goes, “Show me your friends and I will tell you who
you are.” Let me tell you something: you may not have so much money right now,
but as long as you keep walking with rich people or those with the potential to
become rich, you will someday become very rich yourself.
8. They are persistent
Rich people don’t give up.
About 90% of rich people today did not become rich the way they originally
thought or intended. They tried, they failed, and they rose up again many times
before they eventually succeeded. You may lose a lot of money in the process,
but you’ll keep getting better by learning from your mistakes and experiences
until you get the financial independence you desire.
9. They take calculated
risks
Rich people are fond of
taking risks. Once they decide they want to get something, they will give
whatever it takes to get it, even if it means risking their lives sometimes. If
you want to become rich, don’t be afraid of taking risks. Be bold and
courageous, but also be calculative. Know what each decision will cost you and
never put all your eggs in one basket.
10. They are generous
Rich people are very
generous. If you look at the lives of the richest people in modern history, you
will discover that a lot of them are great philanthropists: people like
Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, Bill Gates, Carlos Slim, to name a few. Make
giving one of your habits today and you will become very rich someday, too.
thanks for the info :)
