hey everyone and welcome to top thing today we're going to learn about the rich people habits that
will change your life now let's begin number one set your primary goal successful people search for
one ultimate objective that pushes their life in a single direction they call this a primary
goal your primary goal should be the focal point of everything you do your goals your dreams your
habits you should sculpt your life in the image of your primary goal because this one objective
represents the person you aspire to be if you stay focused on your primary goal piece by piece
little by little your presence will grow into the future that you've always imagined but where does
your primary goal come from many successful people discover their primary goals by analyzing smaller
goals what do your daily weekly and monthly goals look like if you don't have any smaller goals well
it's time to write some down follow these small objectives toward their natural ends say you do
achieve your monthly goals what doors will that open for you what goals come next these questions
will lead you to your primary goal as you settle on one objective remember this all goals are
flexible your interests will change over time your fire will flicker as the years go by so let your
primary goal wax and wane alongside your personal passions treat your primary goal like a compass
pointing you north you know the direction you're headed but your exact destination may change over
time number two calculated purchases ironically wealthy people are also some of the most frugal
people in the world even though these millionaires can buy anything under the Sun they're mindful of
every penny but why is that because rich people know how hard they worked to accrue their wealth
and they're not willing to sacrifice any of it that's why so many millionaires drive cheap cars
or live in old houses they go to great lengths to preserve their fortunes they avoid overspending
at all costs because every cent matters to them overtime a few dollars can grow into a hundred
and a hundred and to a thousand and a thousand into a small fortune all because they were smart
with their money so how do rich people know when to save their money rich people ask themselves
one important question is this something I can't live without if the answer is yes this
product is a worthy investment if not you might as well hold on to your cash countless people get
wrapped up into what's trendy and popular and they get suckered into overspending they spend
thousands of dollars on smartphones and razor thin televisions while draining their bank account down
to zero wealthy people on the other hand keep their material desires in check they know that
new trending products aren't always worth the outrageous price tag instead rich people invest
their money and things that make a real difference in their lives number three the value of time rich
people know that their time is a precious resource every hour they waste is an hour of productivity
lost in other words time is money and wealthy people don't like to waste money it's rare to
find a wealthy person with lots of free time on their hands most millionaires have jam-packed
schedules they're always looking for new ways to build their brand forward their career or connect
with new people but that doesn't mean they're working 24/7 successful people know how important
it is to take breaks working constantly leaves you inefficient and emotionally exhausted the
trick is rich people don't let their downtime go to waste there's a big difference between taking a
break and wasting your time if you pour hours into pointless distractors that's wasting your time but
if you fill the empty spaces in your schedule with good habits your downtime will nourish your mind
and body use your brakes to explore new hobbies spend time with family and reconnect with old
friends that way you're making the most of every hour of the day whether you're working or not
number four social networking successful people are talented networkers who often collect friends
relatives or acquaintances to accelerate their next venture but rich people know that networking
is about more than just business connections the greatest reward is a community of like-minded
people individuals who inspire and motivate you to reach greater heights so successful people
cast wide Nets in their field reeling in ambitious connections that offer new avenues for exploration
when looking for friends most people separate their personal lives from their careers and
passions but for successful people you can't have one without the other their lives revolve around
their passions so they gather friends that are both comfortable and inspiring people who they
enjoy and admire in the end your friends should always make you a better person you should value
their opinions and crave their constructive feedback if you don't have friends you love
and admire it's time to surround yourself with a new crowd number five successful mentor ships
as you strive for success you'll encounter others who have already accomplished your dreams figures
that inspire you to grow take risks and follow in their footsteps it's intimidating to talk to and
learn from the people you admire but that's often how a mentorship begins mentor ships can be an
incredible source of wisdom no matter what field you're interested in successful people around the
world have used mentor ships to climb the ladder to success their mentors have guided them over
obstacles they've nurtured their potential until finally those people can succeed on their own and
pass their knowledge on to the next generation alright let's say you admire a professor from
your university or maybe a successful family friend anyone that inspires you could act as
your mentor take advantage of the knowledge they've gained over the years the wisdom of
this mentor will give you the confidence to excel knowing that you're moving in the right direction
but here's the most important thing about keeping a mint or something rich people do very very well
throughout your life you'll find mentors at school or through internships but you may lose contact
with him over the years this is a big mistake rich people maintain important relationships
like these for their entire lives you never know when another major hurdle will come your way and
if you've kept in contact with your mentor you'll know just who to talk to number six the rewards
of volunteering many people frame successful people is greedy and selfish they assume that the
top 1% has no interest in the other 99 but that couldn't be further from the truth one survey of
millionaires found that over 70% of successful people volunteer on a regular basis they give
money to their favorite charities they organize public works projects for their communities and
they sponsor up-and-coming organizations but why do rich people spend so much time and money
helping their communities by volunteering you feel like you've made a difference in the world
you've changed someone's life even if it's just a little bit volunteering gives you the chance
to support your community and make the world a better place this work may inspire you motivate
you or even help you discover a new passion yes it's important to care about your own future
but never ever forget about the communities that helped you along the way number seven mastering
your manners successful people know the value of proper manners especially when making a first
impression whether you like it or not the smallest gestures can completely transform anyone's opinion
of you all right let's say you're attending a corporate events the invitation says formal but
you decide to wear a t-shirt and shorts when you walk into the room you realize that you're
the only one who's not dressed for the occasion even though your outfit has nothing to do with
your performance or your personality people are still going to judge you for ignoring the rules
by paying attention to social standards rich people make fantastic first impressions they
dress to impress they're careful in every social environment and greet everyone with
a smile the same conscientiousness makes them great conversationalist they are receptive to
questions but always return the favor sharing the spotlight with everyone they meet so don't
forget your pleases and thank-yous one little word can go a long long way number 8 thinking
with purpose have you ever set aside 15 minutes to just think most people fill the quiet moments
in their day with scrolling browsing and swiping but these brief periods of silence offer you a
unique opportunity to get in touch with yourself successful people make quiet contemplation a part
of their daily routine in the morning before work or at night before bed rich people spend
15 minutes living in their own minds they step away from their busy schedules they stop worrying
about phone calls emails and meetings they step out of the spotlight and simply think you'd be
surprised how much perspective you'll gain in just 15 minutes during these quiet moments ask yourself
some basic questions am I happy with what I'm doing do I feel fulfilled inspired and motivated
am i comfortable with a balance I've struck in my life your answers may change the tone of your
day your week or your month if you may stumble across goals you never knew you wanted you may
