Our team here at Universal Events recently discovered a remarkable book that examines the habits of some of the richest people in the world. Tom Corley’s Rich Habits – The Daily Success Habits of Wealthy Individuals opened our eyes to the common practices that set high achievers apart from everyone else. Here are a few of the most common habits that Corley discovered among the super-rich: • Persistence: Although you might think of persistence as a personality trait, it’s also a habit that can be built over time. Wealthy people learn how to push through adversity and limit distractions, and they accomplish these things by being persistent and never giving up on their goals. • Setting Attainable Goals: Wealthy people understand that goals need to be specific and realistic. They also know how to break larger goals down into more manageable tasks and inch ever closer to their lofty ambitions. • Staying Positive: Maintaining an upbeat and happy outlook on life is a common trait among wealthy people, and they also show gratitude for what they have. This can be made into a habit by reminding yourself to be grateful and finding the positive aspects of even the most trying circumstances. • Educating Themselves: This habit of rich people might be the easiest for you to emulate. In his book, Corley found that 88% of wealthy individuals spent at least 30 minutes each day reading in order to expand their knowledge. Biographies, self-help books, and industry-related writings were popular choices, so start preparing your reading list now. Adopt these habits of the most successful people and get on the path to prominence.
