There are only 1,440 minutes in each day. Rich or poor, each person’s daily bucket is filled with the exact same amount of time. Life does not discriminate with any of us, when it comes to how much time it gives us in a day. We are all on equal footing when it comes to time. What isn’t equal is what we choose to do with the time given us. That is where the rich and poor part ways. [Read more…]

What can we learn from the wealthy that will help us become successful in life? This is an important question because 80% of all of the affluent rose up from poverty or the middle-class. Somehow they were able to break out of their social class and become wealthy and successful. How did they do it? What secrets do they possess? What do they know that everyone else does not?

Successful, wealthy people do not just suddenly become rich and successful. Success is a process that takes place over many years. There are certain habits that are responsible for the accumulation of wealth over one’s lifetime. I call them the Rich Habits. One such Rich Habit is spending less than you make. I call it the living below your means Rich Habit. Long before most wealthy people become wealthy, they make a habit of living below their means. The following is a list of ten spending habits that will keep you in the poor house and prevent you from ever achieving financial independence: [Read more…]

I found this out in my five-year study of the daily habits of the wealthy. Wealthy, successful people are fanatics about tracking, measuring and monitoring their progress in many aspects of their lives: [Read more…]

When you look in the mirror who do you see? Do you like what you see? Do you see someone who is going to make their mark on the world, achieve great things and make the world a better place? Or do you see something less? Successful people do not rely on chance. They proactively shape the course of their lives. In my research, I uncovered eight strategies, I call the Future Mirror Strategies, that successful people use to create a blueprint for their perfect, ideal life. Let me share them with you: [Read more…]

In my five-year study of the habits of the rich and poor (http://richhabits.net/rich-habits-study-background-on-methodology/) one of the most profound discoveries I made was the vast difference in the habits the rich and the poor learned from their parents. Parents who raised children who became rich and successful in life taught them very specific success habits that they took with them into their adult lives. These unique daily habits provided a foundation of success that enabled their kids to excel and succeed in life.

Conversely, those who experienced poverty in their adult lives were [Read more…]

Failure is such an ugly word. It shouldn’t be. There are a lot of people who are doing it. Maybe they know something the rest of us don’t know. According to the U.S. Census there are approximately 49 million who live below the poverty line in America and another 53 million who are at or near poverty. That’s a lot of people. There must be something to failure. So many people can’t be wrong.

I spent five years researching the daily habits of the rich and poor and I’ve accumulated an enormous amount of data on exactly what you need to do to achieve either long-term success or long-term failure. I thought I’d share with you some of the habits that will help you succeed in failing. These habits, once adopted, will stop success in its tracks and get you on the path to long-term failure. Let’s not waste any time and get right to it. [Read more…]
