People always wonder what makes successful people get to where they do…what exactly are the reasons behind their success and wealth? A brilliant business idea? A lot of perspiration and persistence? Unending motivation? An effective leadership style? Well, all these and even more. But if you ask me, usually people tend to overlook the simple day to day reasons for success that according to me are more important, if not the most.

1. Top 10 Success Habits of
Wealthy People

2. 1. They wake up early
 Starting from President Obama to Richard Branson, if one was to make a list
of successful people and their waking times, you will be sure to see that most
of them are early risers. Waking up early straightaway helps you to start
ahead of others each day, gives you more personal time, makes you more
effectively responsive, proactive and finally…happy.

3. 2. They create a To-Do List
 A very common and effective success habit that is common to most of the
successful people is to create a to-do list for the next day the night before. A
simple and easy habit like this, goes a long way in efficient planning and
organizing for better performance and growth.

4. 3. They read
 Yes, successful people watch less of TV and read more. There have been
various surveys and studies on this subject, and some of the results include
the stats that 70% of rich people see less than 1 hour of TV every day, and
only 6% of the rich people watch reality shows (compared to almost 80% of
poor people who do). In another research, it was seen that more than 85% of
the wealthy people read extensively with almost 90% of them admitting to
reading self-development books for at least 30 minutes every day.

5. 4. They network
 Undoubtedly, one of the best habits to inculcate for success is networking. If
networking can be made into a habit, it results in creating more chances for
an individual to land up with a job. Researches also show that it makes people
perform better in their jobs and helps people think of innovative ideas.

6. 5. They visualize goals
 Another very easy yet very effective success habit is to set goals and visualize
it in your mind daily. 90% of achievers have gone on to say that they regularly
write down their goals and visualize them, either the night before or the first
thing in the morning. This helps people to be ready for the challenges that
await them.

7. 6. They manage their money well
 Successful and rich people have usually reached their position in life by
managing their finances effectively, and believe me, that’s a daily habit. You
plan your finances, invest wisely, keep away some for emergency, generously
donate to people and causes that need help and if this can be done in a
disciplined manner till it becomes a habit, it would be one of the greatest
success habits leading you to being successful in life.

8. 7. They say ‘no’ when needed
 Yes, another habit to inculcate is to be able to know when to say ‘no’ and
then say it firmly. Saying ‘yes’ to everything usually leads to distraction, loss
of focus and time waste on less important things, ultimately leading to
reduced productivity. Successful people almost always say ‘no’ to tasks and
activities that do not lead to their final aim.

9. 8. They see the positives
 Optimism needs to be made into a daily habit for one to survive and progress.
Most people do not reach up to their potential since they lose their
enthusiasm in between, and the only way to get yourself going every day, in
face of every challenge is to simply look at the positive aspect, as tiny as they
can be, in anything, any person or any situation.

10. 9. They keep themselves busy
 Successful people are hardly idle. They work from 80 hours to a whopping 100
hours per week. This is especially true for entrepreneurs, and keeping oneself
busy most of the time, in relevant and meaningful jobs is one of the greatest
daily success habits one can inculcate.

11. 10. They meditate
 Lastly, meditation happens to be one of the daily habit of most of the
successful people starting from Rupert Murdoch to Bill Ford. Good eating,
sleeping and exercising habits coupled with enough relaxation and regular
meditation for increased positivity and strength of the mind in focus and
concentration is all you need to be firmly placed in your path to a life of
success and happiness!

12. So what are you waiting for? Sometimes, little simple daily
things can make all the difference! Try it and see!
