Habits are my ultimate fascination because I believe that if you can imitate them, you can be them. And there are some habits that have been found to be consistent across all Billionaires, that’s what I will be talking to you about.
There are certainly more, but I will be sharing with you 6 great habits you really need to work on, and you will do awesomely well in making a name for yourself in the world of business.
Some of these habits may not appeal to you, some may sound false, but studying the lives of the likes of Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and others would reveal its truthfulness.
1. Extreme Motivation and Work-ethic
Billionaires didn’t get where they are by just “working smart”. While that is very important, hard work got them there. It’s been found that they have an incredible work ethic, and also very extreme motivation, too, in going through their day.
2. They don’t watch T.V
“What! That’s not true! What about the news?”
And I tell you, nope! These guys are really focused. They are driven by their goals, innovation, and they are constantly dissatisfied sets of people. They don’t settle, and that keeps them pushing. Some of them surprisingly aren’t active on social media. They just get someone to do that for them.
3. They connect with successful people
Billionaires understand the effects of relationships on an individual, so, they always seek to exchange information and experiences with other successful people.
They understand that it’s not what you know that solves the problem at times, it’s who you know. Why hang out with losers or aimless people when you are an average of five people you spend more time with? Modify your network.
4. They are frugal
If Mark Zuckerberg rides a Volkswagen Getta, that should tell you something. These guys aren’t in it for the money alone. They have some lofty ideas and visions that they are constantly running with and they don’t let “stuff” like the “coolest toys” drag them back.
A rich person was once asked, “You fly second class, but you could afford first-class and also buy this plane. Why is that?
He replied, “that’s why I stay rich.”
5. They have no respect for the word ‘No!’
For you to get past that One Billion mark, you must have had a whole lot of rejections that normal people may not be able to cope with.
Billionaires are really persistent in their approaches to anything that tends to give them a tough time. This stems from having an attitude that you only get what you ask for, or, constantly ask for. They have that attitude that ‘no’ is just an opinion and doesn’t define their chase.
6. They are life-long learners
This cannot just be excluded from this list. Billionaires don’t just stop learning. They are a wealth of information and they always want to stay on top of current trends and changes.
They understand that to be relevant, you have got to be ahead of the game. To be ahead of the game, you have to be addicted to knowledge.
Subscribe to blogs in your niche, bookmark some websites you want to start reading on a consistent basis, select some books you must finish this month or week, and don’t stop learning.
Thankfully, here are six changes that we could make to our lives to transform our lives significantly. It’s not going to be a cakewalk getting used to all of them on this list but just take it one step at a time and watch the magic happen.
