It is true money does not have the power to make you happy, but it can make you comfortable. Furthermore, money is crucial for the day to day transactions in our lives.
Therefore, if you have a significant amount of it, things will be a little bit easier. Even children at a young age dream of being rich because they know the importance of money.
So, do you want to be wealthy?
Here are five signs that you are on the right track.
*You Love Reading*
Rich people like to read. They do not read fictitious books or gossip articles which are made for the idle and nosy.
The wealthy read investment and business books. They study autobiographies of the rich because they want to know how these affluent people achieved their wealth.
*You Are A Risk Taker*
Do you fear taking risks? If yes, then forget the chances that one day you might be rich.
A large percentage of wealthy people are risk-takers. Bill Gates risked his college degree to form his company. Warren Buffet revealed that he enjoys taking risks, and Donald Trump is a living evidence that risk-takers win massively.
*You Take Great Sacrifices*
You are ready to live a simple lifestyle so that you can use most of your money for investment purposes while your work mates and friends use their money to arrange extravagant weddings, to buy the latest cars, and to live a classy but fake lifestyle.
Furthermore, you spend your weekends sharpening your business skills while your friends are partying.
*You Have, Or You Are Planning To Build Your Own Business*
Take a look at rich people, and you will realize that almost all of them started their ventures.
Oprah Winfrey started with a Television Show, Steve Jobs founded Apple, and Bill Gates founded Microsoft.
Are you planning to start your businesses today or in future? If yes, then you are far ahead on the millionaire path.
If no, then think about one. No one becames wealthy by depending on his salary alone.
*You Are A Very Hardworking Person*
Many billionaires are very hardworking people. They spend sleepless nights working on their skills or their businesses.
Wealthy footballers spend most of their days in the field training. Successful musicians spend most of their time singing.
The best actors spend a significant percentage of their time acting.
Business men spend all their time and effort working on how they will improve their business.
Gary Player, the greatest golfer, revealed that he realized that the harder he worked, the luckier he got. Benjamin Franklin wrote that hard work is the mother of luck and hunger never stares in the house of a hardworking man.
Going to work from 8 a.m to 5.p.m is not hard work, no matter how much work you do in your office.
While you are working 9 hours a day, someone out there is working 16 hours a day. Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, with a net worth of 13 trillion Kenya Shillings revealed that when he was starting his company, he worked so hard that his girlfriend had to see him in the office because he literally lived in the office.
Are you willing to do that?
Will Smith says "Talents come naturally, but skill comes with hours and hours of beating on your craft. While the other guy is sleeping, I’m working."
You cannot control your destiny, the future, or God: The only thing you can control is WORK. Therefore, do your BEST.
