Waking up early

Getting up just half an hour early avoids many organizational problems and puts you in the mood for work. Millionaires, on the other hand, form at least a two-hour "time reserve" to deal with unforeseen situations and take full control of the schedule.

Persistence!

Secluding 30-40 minutes a day for reflection is another useful habit of rich and successful people. This time is quite enough for an active brain to process the acquired information and organize the flow of thoughts. In addition, the absence of external stimuli often encourages new ideas.

Environment

The circle of communication largely affects the mood and outlook on life, so successful people try to communicate only with those who are as successful as they are. First, there is no risk of "infecting" the pessimism of passive individuals, and secondly, communication with like-minded people helps to develop and approve their own ideas.

Etiquette

A successful person is always courteous and polite. Observance of the rules of etiquette accompanies all his working, and not seldom even everyday actions, from a business lunch in a restaurant to writing a congratulatory letter to a business partner or employee.

Own standards

Another habit of the rich is the ability to think differently from the mainstream. Millionaires know how to set goals and create unconventional tools and ways to achieve them. It is important to learn to resist mass thinking and "average" ideas.

Self-centeredness

Millionaires know how to put their own interests above the interests of others, no matter how selfish it may sound. You can only make money on your own by pursuing your own goals, even if they run counter to the goals of acquaintances, friends, and relatives.

Exercise

Physical activity is a useful habit not only for millionaires. On average, successful people devote 30 to 60 minutes a day to sports and cardio exercises. Sports activate the brain and help you stay energized throughout the workday.

Hard work

The average millionaire's workweek is 45-55 hours, this being the fact that most of them have enough savings for 10-12 years of unemployment. Running your own business, investing, and dealing with day-to-day work problems should not be shifted to someone else while expecting quality fulfillment.

Learning

Reading and gaining new knowledge takes about as much time as sports. The main requirement for literature is content and new information, so fiction is not read as often and more for recreation than self-development.

Time Management

Spending 1.5 hours waiting for a meal or 2, scrolling through the news on social networks is a luxury even for a rich person. You have to learn to plan your time, just like your budget, prioritizing your actions and determining whether a particular task is worth the time spent on it.
