HABITS OF THE RICH
1. They meditate
Science says that meditation has a number of mental and physical health benefits, from improving memory to boosting the immune system. Jack Dorsey, CEO of both Twitter and Square, and media mogul Oprah Winfrey say that they practice meditation daily.
2. They wake up early
There may be some truth behind the age-old adage: The early bird gets the worm..
The wealthiest people tend to be early risers. Take Jack Dorsey, who wakes up at 5:00 a.m. to meditate and work out. Or Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, who wakes up at 5:45 a.m. to exercise before starting his workday.
Branson and Dorsey aren't the only successful people who wake up before the sun. In his five-year study of rich people, author Thomas C. Corley found that nearly 50% of rich people woke up at least three hours before their workday actually began.
3.They stick to routines
4. They live below their means. They are frugal in spending
5. They pursue their passion
Steve Job said, "The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it." Napoleon Hill, the author of Think and Grow Rich also said, "No man can succeed in a line of endeavor which he does not like."
6. They read, they don't watch TV
Many of the world's most successful people are avid readers. Warren Buffett has an estimated net worth of $69 billion. Warren Buffet spend 80% of his time daily reading. Also, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg resolved to read a book every 2 weeks. I know some people read and never lead, but I haven't met a leader that sustain leadership position for a long time and that lead correctly without being a reader. Reading expand the mind and open you to a world of great possibility, many of us drop reading after school/college. You can't lead in this infomation age without reading or having readers working for you.
Thomas Corley found out that 67 percent of rich people only watch TV for one hour or less per day. Over 89 percent of the poor watch TV over one hour per day; the poor prefer entertainment to mental development.
7. They develop multiple streams of income
The richest people focus on earning — so it comes as no surprise that they develop additional streams of income.
8. They're self-employed
The fastest road to wealth is self-employment.
Mark Zuckerberg has been working for himself since age 19, when he first launched Facebook as a Harvard sophomore in 2004. Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel, who is the youngest billionaire in the world, had a similar path — he created the popular photo-sharing app with two of his former Stanford classmates and has been his own boss ever since.
9. They exercise
I recommend early morning jugging, from my personal experience, it unclutters your mind. Hear what Science have to say about exercise: Working out can boost your memory, concentration, and mental sharpness.
10. They hang out with other successful people
Your networth mirrors the people you associate with. Birds of a feather flocks together.
11. They write to-do lists the night before.
Successful people are known for writing their to-do-lists the night before so that they are able to set priorities for the following day. They number their lists as well to identify which tasks are the most important.
NB: This Write-up is not to condemn yoyu, but to make you think of areas you can effect changes in your personal live and living that can boost your financial life. I'm TAIWO Israel Mayowa (timayor), a rising entrepreneur in the world of ICT, I fix laptop and sell laptop accessories. Please if you must copy, copy right. This took me energy and time to compile. See you rich!
