Millionaires think and see the world differently. If you've a millionaires mindset, you'll be a self-made millionaire one day...or maybe you're already a self-made millionaire yourself
17 habits of self-made millionaires
Habit #1: They create their own destiny.
They never blame, justify and criticize like most people. They know that when they blame and criticize, they will become a victim.
Habit #2: Rich people play money game to WIN but most people play money game NOT TO LOSE.
What is the difference between these two? Rich people play money game to WIN megabucks where as most people play money game just to get enough money for themselves.
Habit #3: Rich people are 100% commited to be rich.
Let me ask you one question...Do you want to be rich? You might say
"Of course I want to be rich, I wouldn't invest in this opportunity if I don't want to be rich"
Most people only WISH to be rich and they don't mind not being rich. Rich people have a strong desire to be rich and successful. They know that becoming rich is their top priority and they just cannot accept not being rich.
Habit #4: Delayed gratification
What keeps most people rich is the habit of wanting instant gratification. Instant gratification is the habit of always wanting to enjoy now and not having the patience to wait for future benefits. As a result this people spend a lot more than they invest. When it comes to investing in books and seminars etc they will always think twice as they have to wait for future benefits.
Habit #5: Rich people think BIG.
They set challenging goals for themselves and take massive action.
Habit #6: Rich people focus on opportunity
Opportunity always come with obstacles. It's like a package, you cannot just take opportunity and "throw" the obstacles.
When there are challenges and obstacles, most people will focus on them and then give excuses like "I'm too young", "I got not enough money" and eventually got them into believing that they are doom to be poor forever. Rich people focus on opportunity instead of obstacles.
Habit #7: Rich people respect and love money
As many of us grow up, we may unknowingly pick up many limiting beliefs and painful associations towards money from our family, friends, teachers etc. If you come from a poor or a middle class family, you might be taught that 'money does not grow on trees', 'investing is risky', 'money will change you', 'save money for rainy days' etc etc.
As a result, your subconscious mind associates so much fear and negative feelings towards money that it will stop you from becoming rich. Your inner mind won't allow you to become rich as it would give you more 'problems' or make you a bad person'.
However, you must understand that your parents and teachers taught you that because they taught they were passing a good advice. Very often they negative associations towards money and that is why they choose to pass this advice to younger generations.
Habit #8: Always do more than expected
Rich people are value creators. Value creators have the habit to do a lot more than what is expected. If they are paid $3,000, they will work as if they are being paid $10,000. If they are expected to generate $20,000 worth of profits, they will create $50,000 worth of value! Thesse people are the one who get promoted super fast and get their income doubling or tripling every year.
The habit does not only apply on employees, it applies to anyone from super stars to entrepreneur.
When Michael Jordan was interviewed and asked how he became the world's greatest basketball player, he replied,
"I expect more from myself than anyone would ever expect from me! When my coach expects me to train 3 times per week, I would train 5 times. When my coach expects me to score 15 points for each game, I would score 36 points! That is why I'm the best in the world".
