Below are the top 10 lessons you
should learn from the affluent.
1.
They are Self-educators
Corley said that rich people were
often self-educators.
This means that most of them read to
learn.
They read material that helped their
dreams and goals on a day-to-day basis.
Many of these people also wrote down
what they learned and implemented their new knowledge in their daily lives.
2.
They apply the 80-20 Rule
Wealthy people tend to follow a
80:20 rule when it comes to money.
That means that they saved a lot of
the money that they earned instead of wasting it away.
Corley says there are 3 ways to
accumulate wealth: Save 20% of what you earn, expand your means of income, or
both.
The third way is the fastest way a
person can become rich.
About 80% of wealthy people were
obsessed with their dreams.
Corley noted that 55% spent a year
or more pursuing just one goal.
80% of wealthy are focused on
accomplishing some single goal. Only 12% of the poor do this.
4.
They Befriend successful people
Wealthy people associate with other
successful people because they know this is the key to expanding their
networks.
This is the reason why wealthy
people volunteer in organizations and groups where other successful people are
also involved in.
Successful people also make a point
to minimize contact with those they see as unsuccessful.
Those who are not rich but are
yearning for success should expand their networks and forge new relationships
for opportunities.
5.
They don’t quit
3 traits were identified in every
wealthy person who was pursuing a long-term goal. These traits were focus,
persistence and patience.
Corley also found that these traits
caused wealthy people to sacrifice everything for their goals – they never give
up.
6.
They do what they love
According to Corley, 85% of the
wealthy loved what they did for a living.
If they were unhappy, they would
find something they were passionate about, change careers or pursue them as
hobbies for a start.
7.
Be Open minded
As they are already yearning to
learn more every day, successful people are open minded and welcome new ideas,
possibilities and ways of thinking.
Their thoughts evolve over time,
allowing them to stand out from non-wealthy people.
8.
They’re Good Listeners
Wealthy people tend to be good
listeners too.
They listen more than they talk and
because of that, they learn more about the people around them.
9.
They Don’t waste time
Corley found in his study that 67%
of the wealthy watch less than one hour of TV every day.
They spend their free time reading,
networking and volunteering instead.
10.
They are Creative Thinkers
Most wealthy people believe in
creative thinking.
Creativity allows rich people to
create services and products that add value to society, hence reaping monetary
reports for themselves
