 How do you identify children or teens from adults? I'm pretty sure each group has certain qualities that make them fall entirely into their respective category. Now everyone can see it, and everyone can tell the class that each person falls. In the same way, when it comes to wealth building, there are different growth stages. Certain qualities characterize each stage. For instance, poor people have the same mindset about money. This mentality is reflected in their daily habits, which eventually manifest in their financial status. Wealthy people, on the other hand, have specific qualities that are responsible for their wealth. Take a few minutes to think about some of the rich people you know. I'm sure a good look at one will remind you of another, either because they think alike. Guess what? The way they think and act is responsible for their success. Thomas Corley, an American writer, said, daily habits dictate how successful or unsuccessful you will be in life. I'll tell you something peculiar to rich people. They are always willing to do what others don't want to do. They're always ready to step out of their comfort zone. Okay, let's get to it already. In this video, I'll share with you 9 things all millionaires have in common. If you're new here, consider subscribing so that you don't miss out on exciting videos like this. 1. Millionaires Rise Early Thomas Corley took 5 years to study the lives of 177 self-made millionaires. His discovery showed that nearly 50% of the self-made millionaires in his study woke up at least 3 hours before their work day began. According to Corley, getting up at 5 in the morning to tackle the top 3 things you want to accomplish in your day allows you to regain control of your life. It gives you a sense of confidence that you, indeed, direct your life. Who doesn't like to hit the snooze button, telling themselves that they need an extra 5 minutes to sleep to soak up the warmth of their sheets? Well, I guess no one. However, millionaires understand the importance of waking up early so they would rather sacrifice their sleep rather than their work. Waking up early gives you more time to sort out your day's schedule and get on the day's activities in a good time. Murray Newlands, a startup advisor, investor and entrepreneur once said take 100 millionaires from across the world and I'll bet you none of them sleeps in. The majority of these individuals are up at 6 or 7 am slaving away while the rest of us are still eating pancakes. To become a millionaire, start by waking up early enough to begin your day way ahead of the rest of the world. Two, millionaires set goals. It's one thing to wish to be a millionaire. It's another to set actual goals and plans to help you achieve this dream. The thing about setting goals is that it forces individuals to visualize the required steps to arrive at the desired result. And when this is done, you're able to focus in the right direction and set the right target. Orison Swett Martin, an American inspirational author said all who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible. Millionaires set goals. Three, millionaires focus on their journey, not the destination. Most millionaires will tell you that it is not about the money, but about growing as a person. It is about rising to the point where they become capable of making money. To them, the journey is more valuable than the destination. On the other hand, people who chase only after the money are never happy or satisfied at the end of the day because after getting the money, it becomes a situation of now what? Where do they go from there? So rather than focusing on the money part of the goal alone, they focus on the journey. Four, millionaires don't watch TV. One study found that only 23% of millionaires watch more than an hour of TV a day compared with 77% of everybody else. That leaves time for wealthy folks to do other things that broaden their financial horizons. Not that rich people deny themselves of having fun or watching TV. They just do not have the time to overindulge. Now, this doesn't mean that you should lock up on TV time, but if you find yourself spending so much time watching TV and complaining that you hardly have time to do certain things, especially when it has to do with your career growth, then you might want to review your time. Five, millionaires never stop learning. Every millionaire is a lifelong learner because they understand the need to improve and grow continually. For instance, according to Corley's discovery, 63% of the wealthy listen to audiobooks during a commute to work. So you can start by spending at least 30 minutes per day reading to self-educate and acquire knowledge. Six, millionaires create multiple income sources. Millionaires understand the principle of putting their money to work for them. So they create multiple income streams so that they don't end up spending all their lives working for money. Jimmy DeMesser, an author and entrepreneur, said, the key to wealth and happiness in today's world is to create multiple streams of income using diverse business models and combinations of passive and active income in areas where your passions and talents can be most thoroughly engaged. Studies reveal that most millionaires have at least three streams of income that they created before making their first million dollars because they know that relying on one stream of income can't help them achieve their goals. Seven, millionaires eat healthy and exercise. Millionaires pay attention to their health. They exercise and eat mostly healthy meals. According to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Internal Medicine, it was observed that low-income people's diets are getting worse while those of high-income people are improving. One would expect otherwise because it is likely that millionaires will be too busy with their work stuff to pay attention to their meals. However, according to this study, it looks like the millionaire guys pay more attention to their health than others. According to Kohler's research, 70% of wealthy people eat less than 300 junk food calories each day. While 97% of poor people eat more than 300, 76% of wealthy people exercise at least four days a week when only 23% of poor people do. This study shows that wealthy people understand the importance of good health. They know that the only way they can achieve their long-term goals is if they are healthy. Eight, millionaires always create to-do lists. Setting goals is the first step to achieving success, creating actionable plans. However, it will determine whether or not you will accomplish your goals. Todd Stucker, an author and life coach once said, Before you eat the elephant, make sure you know what parts you want to eat. When you create a to-do list, you can easily track and measure your progress regarding the necessary steps needed to achieve your goals. According to research, 81% of the wealthy people keep a to-do list while only 19% of the poor do. Nine, millionaires continuously provide value for others. Success is all about creating value because you want to make the world around you a better place. According to Brian Tracy, successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, What's in it for me? To become a millionaire, you have to think of ways to help people and the more people you help, the more your chances of getting rich.
