Wealth and success is becoming a primary concern for many. We always tend to fix on the things we need and may acquire in the future to be rich and make our dreams come alive. However, there are also certain ingrained habits that might drag you down and be a hindrance for your growth.
In order to become mega-successful, you will need to carefully assess yourself. The good news is that your toxic routines and mindsets can be kicked off from scratch, starting from TODAY.
So take a huge leap towards success, growth and wealth by giving up these 4 things.
Bad Company
Oprah Winfrey once said, “Surround yourself only with people who are going to lift you higher.”
Being teenagers, we might often had heard this advice. Now studies show, our parents had been always right on this! A good company has a huge impact and influence for your success.
We should have the ability to recognize Negative Nancies – and to ignore bad and negative energy from them.
Giving Up
Huge success often start from very little benefits and loads of struggle. But, the more you do, the more you get.
JK Rowling, who is now a billionaire after getting hundreds of publisher rejections, once said, “It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all in this case, you do fail by default.” We fail to grow even higher.
Mega-successful people don’t give ‘no’ as an answer. Instead, they find new and cognitive ways to turn rejections into achievements and milestones. These people take impossibilities as challenges. Do not be ever afraid to go for it!
Always keep in mind that failure is a breeding ground for ultra-success and never give up. Always be resilient and persistent enough to bounce back and try again. Every time brush the dirt off your shoulders and try again, we always get benefit from more experience.
Frivolous spending
According to a study, people who make over $100,000 a year, majority of them don’t own luxury cars or branded items. Surprisingly, these people more shop at places like Walmart and Target.
These people recognize the value of long-term investing over frivolous spending. A common thing for most millionaires and billionaires is that they set aside good capital for new opportunities and investments.
If you struggle to give up overspending habits, consider the 20-30-50 Plan. Spend 20 percent of your paycheck on investing, 30 percent on entertainment and the other half on basic necessities.
The blame game
If you mess up in work. Never blame your friends, parents or family. As per Bill Gates, “If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them.”
If you fail once, don’t look back at it. This just takes your time and gives back in exchange nothing but negativity. Have the courage and responsibility to make work decisions yourself and expect the best results out of them. This teaches us humility and gives back priceless experiences that makes you more closer to your goals.
