7 Powerful Habits Every Self- Made Millionaire Swears

Life

Dreaming of being a millionaire is very easy, but finding your way to get there is the most challenging part. To be successful and rich you do not have to be born into a wealthy family as most millionaires are not born rich, but they are self-made. In a survey by Fidelity Investments , approximately 80% of people who have a net worth of $1 million or more in the US, did it without a trust fund or inheritance

Tom Corley, author of Rich Habits: The Daily Success Habits of Wealthy Individuals, studied 177 millionaires for 12 years. His findings clearly state that with the right habits- it is not a dream so far. According to Corley , " intelligence, talent, and charm are great, but more often than not these are not what separate the wealthiest among us from the poorest. Instead, the differences are in our daily habits".

He says, " just one good habit can transform your life and can take you from ordinary to extraordinary." " Success is a process. Moreover, by developing a few good habits, it is a process that doesn't have to be excruciatingly hard. " Habits put success on autopilot, they make success easy, " says Corley.

So here are the 7 habits of self-made millionaires that you can adopt:

1. They read and learn every day

79 percent read educational career-related material.
55 percent read for personal development.
58 percent read biographies of successful people.
94 percent read current events.
51 percent read about history.
11 percent read purely for entertainment purposes.

Additionally, they devote at least 30 minutes every day towards reading. The reason successful people read is to improve themselves, and that separates them from the competition. By increasing their knowledge, they can identify more opportunities, which translate into more money and success.
