1. Being around people who love them …

To become a millionaire, make efforts everyday to be around people who are kind to you and love you.

2. Being perpetually grateful …

Whether you are angry, stressed or in distress, find one thing to be grateful for. This is one way eventual millionaires keep positive energy around them always.

3. Writing down ten ideas a day …

Writing down your ideas daily helps you keep record of your aspirations and dreams. Not all these ideas will fly but keep writing them down.

4. Always planting seeds …

Eventual millionaires know that 1% of seeds planted turns into 50% of the flowers. That is why they plant seeds such as thank you letter, sharing ideas with people, creating meaningful handshakes, surprising their loved ones, …

5. Refusing to give excuses …

Blaming others, complaining about situations, explaining one’s decisions is draining. People who become millionaires know this and they avoid it. So should you!

6. Obeying Warren Buffett’s 5/25 rule …

Make a list of the 25 things you want to do right now. Now do the top 5 that are the most important at the moment. Pursue your top 5 goals vigorously and NEVER look back at the remaining 20 till you achieve them all.

7. Following up with people ….

Following up with new people you meet or business prospects is an act. It requires serious practice to get good at it. Learn how to follow up with people for good, keep at it. Keep following up.

8. Asking questions ….

Never be afraid to have ‘curiosity conversations’. You have things bothering you? You have great ideas you could bounce off people you know? Call them, pay them a visit. Start the curiosity conversation. Ask questions.

9. Making mistakes ….

Eventual millionaires know that mistakes help people improve, so they are not allergic to honest mistakes.

Remember, if you have never made mistakes, you have never tried anything new. Life is too short to be avoiding mistakes. When you make mistakes, learn, improve and get ahead.

10. Saying NO …

To become a millionaire, you must learn to politely say NO to things that do not add up. Be rest assured that every door is not your door. Once you recognize it is an opportunity you really need, let it go. Say NO.

Saying YES all the time, even when it hurts you, does not make you a wonderful person. It makes you a people pleaser. Learn to say NO.
