80 of millionaires are self-made the
majority of the world's wealthiest
individuals weren't born into their
wealth they created it and part of this
is down to a culmination of the daily
habits that they've done for years after
understanding what some of these tried
and tested habits are and applying these
habits to my own life I've tripled my
income I'm more productive and I'm no
longer wasting my time or energy on the
wrong things so in this article I thought
it'd be interesting to share with you
what these habits are and how you can
apply them to your own life let's get
into it number one great minds show me
your friends and I will show you your
future there's different variations of
this quote and I wanted to understand if
there was evidence to back this up and I
came across this study as I was reading
about it which shows that if a friend of
yours becomes obese you are 45 more
likely to gain weight over the next two
to four years more surprisingly however
is that if a friend of your friend
becomes obese your likelihood of gaining
weight increases by about 20
so even if you don't know that friend of
a friend it will still have an impact on
you and that effect continues one more
person out the same in the study was
found for smoking and for happiness you
are more likely to be happy if your
friend is Happy while the researchers
looked for a variety of explanations for
this the most likely one appeared to be
Norms if your friend is a beast or a
friend of a friend is obese that changes
your perception of what is an acceptable
body size and your behavior changes
accordingly so your friends really are
your future and the implication is that
you don't just need to be deliberate
about who you're spending the most time
with you also need to be mindful of your
entire network and its influence on your
life number two push out of your comfort
zone regularly I haven't ever mentioned
on this channel how it felt when my
channel blew up over the last six months
and it wasn't good starting a YouTube
channel was one of the most challenging
things I have put myself through and I
was absolutely petrified when I first
posted my article I had a million things
running through my head and it got worse
before it got better when my channel
started to blow up in December I was on
6000 subscribers and I was sent some
screenshots from WhatsApp groups of
people and these are people that I know
laughing at my articles and pouring out
negativity about my channel they don't
know that I've seen it and they probably
still don't know but it made it at the
time that much harder to keep showing up
and pressing upload week after week
knowing that there was more to come and
I was opening myself up to more and more
criticism and I eventually got to a
point where I said to myself do I just
stop here or do I ride it out and I've
learned that to get anywhere in life
you've got to embrace yourself for
awkward situations uncomfortable moments
and embarrassment you're going to be
judged anyway and had I stopped myself
at that point my life would be
completely different today if you stick
to your comfort zone and don't challenge
yourself off even when you have every
reason to stop you won't ever know what
you're capable of and you'll be letting
go of what could potentially be waiting
for you on the other side next we have
don't buy into fomo this is one that
requires the most willpower and
discipline but if you're apply it it
will pay off we are constantly
surrounded by images of our friends
going out all the time going on their
next big holiday buying a new car living
their best life and the constant
pressure of these messages will make you
feel that if you're not doing it you're
missing out but if you constantly let
yourself cave into these temporary
moments you may be sacrificing on what
you could potentially make from the rest
of your life you'll be sacrificing time
that you can spend instead on working on
yourself or working on your side hustle
there is a quote in the book Think and
Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill which states
that the starting point of all
achievements is desire weak desires
bring weak results just as a small fire
makes a small amount of heat through
this He suggests that the intensity of
our desires directly correlates with the
results we get weak desires weak results
whereas strong burning desires can pave
way for stronger bigger things in life
it's fine to cave in to living your best
life every now and then but what I find
difficult to hear sometimes is when the
no hustle culture is heavily promoted by
people who are at the top of their game
now that they've made it big they can
afford a team and delegate their work
and they can achieve that so-called
balance but they once had that strong
burning desire and made sacrifices
during their climb that they don't talk
about as much I've learned that the best
way to not let fomo get the best of you
is to find a meaning in what you're
doing and know that it's a part of a
bigger picture that you're creating for
yourself and now every time I feel like
fomo is taking over and getting the best
on me I remind myself why I'm doing what
I'm doing and that the strong desire and
all the small sacrifices that I make now
will all be worth it in the end next we
have the millionaire pyramid whenever
I'm at a door that doesn't seem to be
opening up for me I think about the
pyramid perspective mindset and it's
understanding that the Journey's
difficulty is inversely proportional to
the number of people who will reach the
top as you climb higher the pyramid gets
narrower and when difficulties show up
it's easy for the majority of people to
give up effectively the crowd will get
thinner and thinner towards the next
level and the harder the Journey the
higher up you get the harder the
challenges you face but the fewer people
there are to compete with and so the
rewards are bigger hurdles are part of
the journey to the top everyone who's
growing is going to fail at some point
and if you don't fail you're not growing
but what you do after failing is what
differentiates the successful people
from the rest so now I like to remind
myself that when things get tough it's
just a sign that I'm on the right path
focus on Solutions not problems one
habit that has been an absolute Game
Changer in my life is focusing on the
solutions and not the problems what I've
observed especially among successful
individuals is this unshakable belief
that every puzzle or every problem that
comes up has a solution that everything
no matter how daunting it is can be
figured out they ask themselves how can
I make this work for me whereas everyone
else will focus on all the reasons why
it won't work out every excuse they can
think of it will be standing in the way
from them getting to that thing worries
are like sheep they seem to flock
together when you start thinking about a
problem it quickly compiles into another
problem another problem and before you
know it you're overwhelmed with the
potential for problems so instead of
playing the what if game to think about
all the additional problems that one
problem can cause play it to think about
the solutions however serious your
worries or your problems may seem and
even if they do keep you up at night if
you really analyze them you'll find that
every single problem has a solution
number six have a think day this is one
that I've been doing very recently and
it's helped me overcome any mental
blocks that I have and makes me Mindful
and makes me sure that I'm heading in
the right direction in the 80s Bill
Gates who founded Microsoft began this
think week annual tradition he would
seclude himself in a remote location and
shut off all of his communication he'll
spend an entire week dedicated to
reading learning and thinking this
approach then became a key part of his
life and his process and he said think
week is a time when I'm can be creative
and push my own thinking it's a time to
step outside the day-to-day demands of
my job and really focus on the big
picture I haven't been able to commit to
a whole week but I have started doing
think days at least once a month I just
step away from all my work everything my
phone my laptop and I'd secure myself
mentally I'll spend an entire day
reading journaling thinking learning
something new and when you do this you
give yourself space to really zoom out
and take a high level view on your life
and the bigger picture and the direction
that you're going in sometimes we're so
caught up in the grind and working hard
that we never really take a step back
and say where am I going and how can I
get there more efficiently so this is
one that I would highly recommend if
you're able to so those are a few things
that I've been doing and it's changed my
life I'm in a completely different
position today than I was one year ago
and I attribute a lot of that to the
habits that I mentioned in this ARTICLE
anyway thank you for watching don't
forget to subscribe if you haven't
already and I'll see you in my next
