Most everyone wants to become rich.
of the problems that plague most people. So, besides being able
to buy that house by the beach, snag a Rolex watch, or travel to
exotic places, being rich means fewer problems in life. Fewer
problems equals less stress. Less stress equals a healthier and
happier life.
There are 14 signs from my research that can lead to success
and wealth. If you possess all 14, your chances for becoming
rich increase substantially:
You are pursuing a dream or major
purpose in life
Eighty percent of the self-made millionaires in my Rich Habits
Study were pursuing some dream or major purpose in life.
You read to learn every day
You are a voracious reader. You read to learn every day. Often
hours every day. Eighty-eight percent of the rich in my study read
30 minutes or more every day strictly to learn and educate themselves.
You think like an owner
You have an owner mindset. You think bigger. You have a big
vision. You take ownership in everything you do. Ninety-0ne
percent of the rich in my study were decision-makers.
You run toward responsibility
You do not shy away from responsibility. In fact, you seek out
opportunities that give you more responsibility.
You are a cautious risk-taker
You are cautious, and not reckless, in taking on risk. Cautious
risk-takers do their homework, take on risks only that they have
the skills and knowledge for, ask questions, seek feedback from
experts, and pilot new ideas and initiatives before turning them
into a business.
You take action
You are not afraid to take action because …
You are not afraid to fail
... you view failure as a learning experience and nothing more.
You outwork others
You are not afraid to work long hours for days, weeks, months,
and years to succeed. The rich in my study worked on average 11
hours more a week than the non-rich.
You continuously set and pursue goals
You continuously set and pursue goals to help propel you forward
in life. Eighty percent of the rich in my study were goal-focused.
They made a habit of setting and pursuing goals.
You seek to exceed expectations
You are value-oriented. You seek to exceed the expectations of
others.
You are fanatic about your relationships
You are in continuous communication with the relationships you
value. You make happy-birthday calls, hello calls, and life-event
calls. You send thank-you cards. You acknowledge important events
in the lives of your valued relationships. You view your valued
relationships like gold. Relationships are your currency.

You get along with others
People like you. They like working with you and dealing with you.
You make people feel upbeat, happy, enthusiastic, and optimistic.
You're a team player
Because you like people and get along with people, you work well in
a team environment. No one succeeds on their own. Every self-made
rich person has apostles for their cause behind them.
Most of your relationships are success-
minded
You surround yourself with like-minded, success-minded people.
