Rich & the Poor

Some people are born rich, some manage to become rich through their dedication and hard work they've put in, to gain success. While some are living a BPL (Below Poverty Line).  Being rich has very little to do with luck and it’s all got to do with habits.  Everyone has rich and some poor habits. Rich men cultivate rich habits– Success habits of wealthy individuals.

“These are like snowflakes-they build up, and then you have an avalanche of success”

- Thomas Corley

 They think positive all the time & are optimists. Some of the rich habits are:

1.      Rich men keep their goals in sight- They focus on their goals and write. A wish isn’t a goal. A goal is a goal when it’s achievable and there’s a physical action you can put in.

2.      They know what needs to be done today- Wealthy mean maintain a to-do lists. They not only maintain but complete 70% or more of their tasks each day.

3.      They hardly watch TV- Even if they do. They will watch reality shows or something productive. It’s coz they are engaged in some other daily habitual behavior- reading, writing etc.

4.      They do a lot of reading- Wealthy men are voracious readers.  They don’t just read for fun, they read self-improvement books instead.

5.      They make a point to give their 100% in every work they do- They put in a lot of handwork. Expect less.

6.      They take risks- They don’t play it safe with their money always.  Most of the business tycoons has put their own money on the table and has taken financial risks.

7.      They watch their waistline- They value their health too. Health is wealth

8.      They take care of their smiles- Rich people floss every day.

Rich people work hard and rack up plenty of mistakes and failures along the path of success. Chances are that on your way to where you are, there were tough times too. Whether in your personal life or in your business, you will inevitably encounter difficult and unpleasant people, bad situation, and uncontrollable events. What separates rich men from the spiteful one is how they handle disappointments.

The victors adjust their game plan and overcome by doing the right thing, both mentally and in their actions.  The victims stew and brood dwell in revenge fantasies and never forgive any offense.  So what do you call yourselves- Victim or victor?

Remember- ‘It’s not your fault if you are born poor but if you die poor it’s your fault’   J
