Rich People's Habits vs Poor People's Habits

00:00:42 In his book Change Your Habits, Change Your Life, author Tom Corley studied the daily habits of 233 millionaires.

00:01:13 Wealthy People Are Early Risers: Approximately 50 percent of the millionaires in Corley’s study woke up at least three hours before their workday began.

00:01:49 Wealthy People Read Books: Eighty-eight percent of the respondents in Corley’s research said that they spent at least 30 minutes a day on self-improvement by reading.

00:02:12 Self-made billionaire Warren Buffett says he spends approximately six hours per day reading, and that it has been the most important habit he’s developed.

00:02:23 Wealthy People Exercise: Studies have found that exercise gives you mental clarity and improves your motivation.

00:02:46 For example, Richard Branson wakes up at 05:00 am, goes cycling, or plays tennis.

00:02:59 Wealthy People Are Thinkers: Wealthy people spend 15 to 30 minutes per day thinking.

00:03:32 Wealthy People Pursue Their Goals: Success is not an accident; wealthy people make a plan to get rich and then take the action required to make it happen.

00:04:16 Wealthy People Spend Time Being Inspired: Successful people make a point of limiting their exposure to toxic, negative individuals who drain their energy and stunt their motivation.

00:04:42 Wealthy People Have More Than One Stream of Income: Wealthy people generally have more than one source of income.

00:05:24 Wealthy People Get Enough Sleep: Sleep is important because it rejuvenates the body.

00:05:30 Albert Einstein said that he got at least ten hours of sleep a night.

00:06:02 Wealthy People Value Their Time: The most important asset in the world is time.

00:07:07 Here are some of them: Remaining in Your Comfort Zone: Growth doesn’t happen in comfort.

00:08:02 Job Dissatisfaction: Poor people generally hate their jobs, but because of the perceived security a job provides, they remain in employment they feel dissatisfied with.

00:08:57 Spending Too Much: Poor people don’t have any financial discipline; they acquire liabilities instead of assets.

00:09:33 Avoiding Feedback: Poor people don’t like constructive criticism because it requires self-evaluation.

00:10:03 Procrastination: There Is no denying that everyone procrastinates on tasks they don’t enjoy.

00:10:22 Additionally, according to bestselling author Napoleon Hill, wealthy people make decisions quickly; they follow their instincts—if it feels right, they run with it, and if not, they look for another option.

00:10:51 Negative Thinking: Again, negative thinking is something that we all experience no matter how wealthy we might be.

00:11:27 Watching Too Much Television: Seventy-seven percent of the poor people in Corley’s study spent over one hour each day watching TV.

00:12:05 Associating With Negative People: Eighty-six percent of the wealthy people who took part in Corley’s research made a habit of associating with people who were just as driven and motivated as them.

00:12:46 Drinking Too Much Alcohol: There is nothing wrong with drinking alcohol—the occasional beer or glass of wine isn’t going to hurt.

00:13:19 Unhealthy Eating: Ninety percent of the poor people in Corley’s study ate more than three hundred calories from junk food every day.

00:13:56 Gambling: People Gamble and play the lottery because they want to make quick money.

00:14:21 In Corley’s study, he found that 77 percent of poor people played the lottery every week, and fifty-two percent gambled on sports at least once a week.
