what is it about rich people that make them stand out from the rest of us
at some point you've wondered what they do or what traits they have that others don't
and perhaps if we were to implement some of these things then maybe we too could be successful not
every wealthy individual is the same but here are some of the personality traits they have in common
one they're passionate just how important is it to love what you do for a living people who love what
they do make more money amass more wealth and are generally happier than those who don't like their
jobs some say that passion surpasses education skills intelligence and any other things that
those who aren't passionate might have in life but why is this so well it's because having a passion
makes work fun and enjoyable passion gives you the energy persistence and focus you might need to
overcome mistakes and rejection it gives you this tenacity that enables you to overcome any obstacle
warren buffett said that money is a byproduct of something that he likes to do very much
when you enjoy your work you allow yourself to have the discipline to work hard every day
but finding your dream job isn't that easy and may take time and likewise making millions also
takes time even the wealthiest millionaires took an average of about eight years before earning
their first million and along the way they made mistakes and failed there are quite a few wealthy
individuals like steve ballmer and rupert murdoch who made mistakes before they became successful
so if you want to be rich too you need to stop doing what you don't like and do what you love
if you don't know what it is yet keep trying until you find the right thing
two they are persistent doesn't matter how many times you failed
self-made millionaires are persistent in everything especially when faced with failure
whenever they fail they pick themselves up and try again they don't give up persistence gives you the
chance to learn what doesn't work and go on to try again until something does work out it makes you
unstoppable and it builds the mentality that whatever you set out to achieve you achieve
self-made millionaires don't give up on their dream most of them would rather go down with
the ship than call it quits whenever they fail they always pick themselves up and continue going
you have to be persistent in the face of adversity if you want to be successful in life
persistence is thought of by many as a personality trait but in truth it should be considered a habit
a habit that can be learned and applied over time wealthy individuals keep pushing through when
faced with adversity knowing full well at the back of their minds that success is within their reach
and their persistence isn't just limited to making money they're also persistent in
other areas of their lives they have the desire to learn more rich people appreciate the power
of learning even after finishing college a great number developed the habit of reading
even before they became wealthy this habit helped them to strengthen their cognitive abilities which
had a hand in their success later on in life one of the many things you'll find when you
enter the home of a wealthy individual is their extensive book collection that they used to gain
insight on how to become more successful while the rest of the world tends to read tabloids novels
and entertainment magazines the point is rich people would rather be educated than entertained
sixty-seven percent of rich people watch tv for an hour or less in a day while only 23
percent of poor people watch tv for less than an hour according to the author of rich habits the
daily success habits of wealthy individuals thomas corley it is believed that warren buffett spends
roughly 80 percent of his working day reading although the rich don't necessarily put a lot
of stock in furthering their wealth through formal education they appreciate the power of
learning even after they leave college on the other hand many pursue master's degrees and
doctorates so as to gain wealth not that there's anything wrong with this but sometimes one becomes
trapped in the line of thought that holds them back from higher levels of consciousness
4 they set their eyes on the prize focus is a key factor when it comes to leading a successful life
and it all begins with setting goals a lot of wealthy individuals set goals both monthly and
annually and go further to have them writing success is a process you start out by coming up
with a plan of the life you want for yourself and this plan helps you define what you want long-term
without a clear vision of what you desire you're simply going about life without direction there
are so many distractions in the world and it can be hard to focus but not impossible rich people do
this by distancing themselves from the things that shift their focus from their target they don't
spend a lot of time on tv and internet like a lot of us tend to do there are countless areas that
you can choose to focus on but remember you should put your energy in one place and master one thing
if you can do something better than anyone else you'll have created a direct route to success
rich people understand that in order to achieve success in the long term they have to focus on
what they're good at no one succeeds in doing something they aren't converse in
it's not worth struggling to do something that you only be average at
instead put your all in the areas where you know you'll excel have a team of people who complement
each other you can outsource and delegate but always focus on what you're strongest at
if you guys are enjoying the video so far do me a huge favor and kindly give this video a thumbs up
thank you guys so much 5. they're not afraid to take risks the world is filled with all sorts
of risk takers but the majority take the kind of risks that result in loss of life
and property millionaires on the other hand weigh their decisions carefully before taking any risks
they may choose to invest in an unknown market or put money in a failing business but eventually
make measured choices and only take risks they know they can recover from people generally become
wealthy by taking risks according to them risk is something to make money from thomas stanley wrote
in his book the millionaire mind that almost all millionaires accumulated their wealth by
taking risks that others refuse to take cautious investors struggle to do this and end up battling
with financial problems for you to become rich you have to think courageously and without fear
successful investors do their research and when they decide to invest they go all in
this takes a lot of courage and although they may lose some what they gain supersedes any loss there
are no guarantees with the market when others jump in and out of it because of fear of risk
successful people take a step back and watch as their stocks continue to grow six rich people
maintain healthy habits a study revealed that 75 percent of rich people work out regularly
and have a healthy diet with 70 percent consuming a low-calorie diet you might ask what exercise
and making money have in common and the answer is exercising helps one work more efficiently people
who work out tend to have a more positive and optimistic outlook towards life when it comes to
making tons of money efficient people can make a world of difference to their wealth healthy people
are able to spend long hours at work and can also work well beyond their retirement years for most
people as they approach retirement they tend to be in positions where they're making the most
money in their life and if you're healthy you'll be able to increase your working years by a decade
seven independent thinking rich people have a different way of thinking and not just in the
money sense but also in other aspects of their life while many spend time trying to conform to
the masses millionaires are busy trying to form their own path people who want to be wealthy need
to think in a way that will allow them to reach their goal since thoughts impact actions thinking
independently doesn't necessarily mean doing the opposite of what everyone else is doing it means
having the courage to do what is important to you so basically forge your own path in life
let your success drive you to financial spoils instead of trying to chase the dollar signs
a great example is david geffen a self-made millionaire who's racked up 9.9 billion dollars
as of 2021 according to forbes despite being a college dropout this american record executive
and film producer made millions by founding record agencies including dreamworks animation skg
inc and signing some of the most prominent musicians of the 70s and 80s he didn't take
the conventional route of making a living but because of his admirable work ethic and conviction
about the potential of his artists he was able to amass quite a fortune 8. they always have a
vision wealthy people have a vision of where they want to be in life and they even write it down in
such a way that suggests they've already achieved it and each morning they wake up they look at what
they visualized and they keep this in mind as they go about their day the whole idea is to get
this vision into your subconscious to help you through your decision making throughout the day
you're able to identify opportunities that will push your visions closely to reality
for example when friends ask you out for drinks you might decide to turn down their invitation
because you're subconsciously thinking about what you visualize for yourself and you choose to go
home instead to work towards it nine discipline a lot of the millionaires and billionaires out there
are some of the most disciplined people you'll ever meet they set high standards for themselves
and the people around them chris hogan author of everyday millionaires how ordinary people built
extraordinary wealth and how you can too wrote that discipline is a key factor when it comes to
building wealth in the world of business if you're disciplined enough to apply yourself
consistently with what needs to be done you can achieve your desired results billionaires
are not the superhuman or perfect working automatons that many people perceive them to be
they feel tired and lazy sometimes just like the rest of us but what sets us apart from
them is that they're well aware of this fact and they don't allow themselves to
slack they take up the struggle to overcome their weakness well thank you guys so much
