Most people don’t achieve wealth because they have low confidence, a lack of motivation, a lack of clarity, they are lazy or no one is supporting them. Confidence is key when it comes to success and wealth. Your level of self confidence is a critical factor — the more things you try, the more likely you’ll figure out what you like and want to do.
In terms of motivation, many people think someone will come along and motivate them. But, the hard truth is that no one is coming to the rescue and you must take charge of your own life.
From writing out clear goals to surrounding yourself with people that support your goals, you can get on track towards a wealthy life.
Below are four things you need to include in your habits that rich people do:
1. They have a high self-concept.
If you want to be rich, you need to think about yourself as capable of becoming a rich person. Dress for the job you want to have, and think of yourself as the person you want to be, because once your self-concept is formed, you’ll always act in a manner consistent with it.
2. They step outside their comfort zone.
Your comfort zone can be your single greatest obstacle to improve performance. Once you get into a comfort zone, it’s easy to remain in that comfort zone, even if it’s less than what you’re capable of achieving . . . or earning.
3. They always think positively.
The way you improve on the outside is by changing how you think about your potential, so make sure you’re constantly developing habits of positive thinking about what is possible.
4. They have a high self-ideal.
Don’t let the best possible version of yourself be mediocre. Don’t let your dream job be one you know you can get. Be ambitious in the way you view your potential — in how much you can earn, where you can go and the sort of person you can become.
