Bus Insider's Thomas C. Corley: Being 'rich' comes down to only two things
2017-07-08
[Business Insider] Being rich is really about two things.

In my Rich Habits Study, I interviewed 233 wealthy individuals (177 of whom were self-made millionaires) with at least $160,000 in annual gross income and $3.2 million in net assets. I found that becoming and staying rich tends to come from two actions:

1. Accumulating wealth.
2. Keeping the wealth you've accumulated.

The first step, getting rich, requires that you forge certain specific habits that make getting rich possible. In my book "Change Your Habits Change Your Life," I share some of the stories about how these self-made millionaires accumulated their wealth, but some of the most important Rich Habits for accumulating wealth include:

Pursuing daily growth. Daily self-improvement is a hallmark of self-made millionaires. They read at least 30 minutes a day to gain knowledge. They also devote significant time every day to practicing and perfecting their skills.

#1  Not to be confused with personal behaviors that include -

1. Alcohol and drug abuse
2. procreating before having the means to put food on the table, clothes on your back and a roof over your own head.
3. blowing off education opportunities
4. doing what kept your sperm and egg donor, their sperm and egg donors, and their sperm and egg donors, poor.

Part of being rich is comprehending that so many of us are the 1 percenters of history, let alone the world, and stop falling for all the cons others push to sell you envy and guilt.
