1. Live within your means
Rich is not the one who earns a lot, but the one who spends wisely. Often a person puts himself in a financially difficult position when he begins to live beyond his means. Do you need an expensive foreign car on credit if you live from paycheck to paycheck?

Organize your spending and engage in financial planning if you want to change your life.

2. Constantly improve
Successful people are constantly working on themselves. They read a lot and learn new things all the time. But most importantly, they do not waste time on something that does not bring them closer to the goal.

One of the highest paid business coaches in America, Brendon Burchard, believes that we spend too much time on useless activity, as a result we feel an acute shortage of time. It's true. Time is too valuable a resource. And spending it on something that does not bear fruit from the point of view of well-being (computer games, disputes on social networks, etc.) is a crime.

Self-improvement is like a needle with a thread: the baggage of knowledge and skills that stretches behind you moves you forward. Work on yourself every day. It's not easy, but the wider the horizons, the more chances to be realized.

3. Read daily
At least 30 minutes a day. Reading in the modern world is a competitive advantage. The more you read, the more you know. The more you know, the more you will achieve.

This article will help you introduce reading into your daily routine.

4. Constantly improve your skills
Progress means getting better at what you do every day. Improve your professional skills daily and replenish your knowledge base. Eventually you will become an expert. And they are well paid, they are respected. So stick to the course you have taken until you achieve success.

5. Arrange yourself a "digital weekend"
Gadgets, media, social networks — this is too much in our lives. Sometimes it is useful to disconnect (literally and figuratively) and arrange a "digital weekend" for yourself.

Devote such days to yourself (some courses or, perhaps, a movie), walking (you can even go on a mini-trip) and communicating with your loved ones (they may miss you).

6. Take care of your health
The rich and successful usually exercise and eat right. Moreover, it is as natural for them to lead a healthy lifestyle as taking a shower in the morning. It's simple: physical activity and a balanced diet give them energy to achieve business goals. Do you take care of yourself?

7. Develop a sense of proportion
To know the measure means to live in balance and harmony. Be moderate in everything: work, food, physical activity, alcohol consumption, Internet surfing, and so on.

Harmonious people attract others. It is easier for them to find business partners, persuade investors and move up the career ladder.

8. Be optimistic
Do you remember the saying "Optimists spin the globe, and pessimists run around and shout: "Where is this world going""? The world belongs to enthusiastic and energetic optimists. These people look for (and find) the good in their surroundings and see opportunities even in difficulties.

The information field is stuffed with negativity. Be able to filter information and cut off what can unsettle you. Instead, fill the feed with what will educate and develop you.

9. Manage your thoughts
Dominating your thinking and emotions is the lot of successful people, not wizards.

Scrolling through negative scenarios in your head, you are unlikely to succeed. Fears and doubts inevitably lead to collapse. Tell yourself "stop" when you catch yourself thinking bad thoughts. Successful people are constantly busy creating, and they simply have no time to cultivate negativity.

10. Overcome your fears
It's okay to be afraid. Everyone is afraid of something or is worried about something. Only losers let their fears guide them, and successful people get the better of their worries.

Write down on a piece of paper the fears that hinder your success, and think about how you can overcome them.

11. Do not give up
Difficulties on the way to the goal are inevitable. But, no matter how hard it is, you can't give up. There are at least 20 reasons not to give up on the way to your goal, even in the most difficult moments.

Perhaps setbacks will force you to adjust course, but they should not stop moving forward.
