*Bill gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Warren Buffet these are among of the few World’s richest people , but what do they have in common?
They are some of the wealthiest people on earth. But if we keep this fact aside, there’s a lot of things which are common to them all – and by this we are now talking about their habits.
“People don’t care about what you say, they care about what you build.” Mark Zuckerberg
>>As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.
1. Successful people are rarely idle.
Rich people like Oprah Winfrey and Warren Buffett spend less time talking about what they are going to do.
They utilize that time in taking the first step. Rich people treat their time as money. They know that they don’t need the approval of anybody for what they can do. It doesn’t look like a habit, but if you stop for a moment and think what you can do with the knowledge and resources you have, you’ll realize that there’s abundance of things you can do. The difference between rich and poor is that rich people do it in the next moment, but why many people are unsuccessful because they are idle. They think more and do less.
2. Rich people are early riser.
There is a saying which says the early bird catches the worm , meaning that the person who takes the earliest opportunity to do something will gain an advantage over others.
So many rich people get up early and they all have their own reasons behind this schedule. Apple CEO Tim Cook wakes up at 4:30 in the morning and starts sending company emails. Within half an hour, he leaves for the gym and at 5, he can be found there. He’s not alone, Disney CEO Bob Iger, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, Richard Branson and PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi are early risers. There’s a scientific reason behind why waking up early is a good habit. According to research those who wake up early tend to be more productive at work and happier.
3. Rich people know how to say ‘No’
We normally say yes when we wanted to say no so many times and regret it later. It happens with many of us. Saying no without offending others is an art and that art is something rich people learned long back.
“The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything,” Warren Buffett says. The mega-moguls value their own time and that’s why they never try to please everyone by saying ‘yes’. They maintain their schedule and have no problem saying ‘no’.
4. Wealthy people make their money work for them.
Successful people have attained wealth, and they are successful because they know how to manage their money well. They invest money. They make every single dollar work for them. They are always on the lookout for new ways to make more of their cash. People who are rich prepare themselves for success. They never wait for luck, they simply expect luck to find them when they are busy.
5. Successful people educate themselves.
Rich people don’t spend time watching TV. They read books, learn new skills and they never miss an opportunity that can help them increase their knowledge in a certain area.
They always make sure focusing on relevant skills. They learn new ways to create income streams and they do it effectively.
What we do everyday matters the most. We are defined by our own actions. The most successful people follow certain routines and rituals and that’s what many of us call it a habit of the world’s richest people.
