Introduction 

According To A Man Who Studied Them For 25 Years Only Extremely Successful People Have These 7 Tendencies—Becoming a billionaire seems like a great goal, but unfortunately it’s only a dream for most of us. The thing is, many billionaires didn’t start as such. Some indeed had economic and educational advantages, but even without those, their smart decisions and business choices plus a few key characteristics led them to their billions.

Randall Bell, Ph.D., a socio-economist, has been studying success for 25 years, identifying the core qualities that all great performers share.

He polled almost 5,000 people around the world, including professionals, students, pensioners, the unemployed, and multi-millionaires, as part of his research. In his latest book, “Me We Do Be,” he adds, “We investigated dozens of rituals ranging from writing thank-you cards to eating together as a family.” “We then used statistics to link specific behaviours to various indicators of success.”

It turns out that what you do on a daily basis has an impact. The most successful people have unique daily rituals and routines, or “rich habits,” as he refers to them.

The following are seven of them:

They Enjoy A Healthy And Active Lifestyle 

“Those who exercised for even 15 minutes a day dominated statistically in every single metric of success,” Bell says.

Take, for example, self-made millionaire Richard Branson, who works out at 5 a.m. before starting his day. He tells FourHourBodyPress, “I absolutely can achieve twice as much by staying active.” “It keeps the brain in good shape.”

Branson is far from the only successful person who places a high value on physical fitness. Hundreds of today’s top corporate leaders, like Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and media mogul Oprah Winfrey, fit exercise into their hectic schedules.

They Prepare Their Sleeping Quarters

“Those who complete their duties and maintain their living spaces cleaner make more money,” Bell adds. “Those who make their bed in the morning, for example, are up to 206.8% more likely to be billionaires.” He explains that it puts your mind in a productive mode.

“Making your bed every morning is connected with improved productivity, a greater sense of well-being, and stronger skills at sticking to a budget,” says author Charles Duhigg in his best-selling book “The Power of Habit.”

They Are Voracious Readers

“Higher education and income, as well as overall satisfaction, are strongly linked to reading,” argues Bell. “Those who read seven or more books per year have a greater chance of becoming millionaires than those who never read or just read one to three [books].”

Take, for example, Bill Gates, the world’s richest man, who reads 50 books each year and Warren Buffett, who spends up to 80% of his day reading.

They Get Up Early In The Morning

Bell isn’t the only one who has discovered that successful people get up earlier than the ordinary person.

Author Thomas C. Corley discovered that nearly half of the 177 self-made billionaires he studied over a five-year period woke up at least three hours before their work day began.

According to Corley’s book, “Change Your Habits, Change Your Life,” it’s a strategy for dealing with daily interruptions, such as an overly long meeting, while still having enough time to complete what you set out to achieve that day. He continues, “Getting up at five a.m. to tackle the top three things you want to do in your day allows you to regain control of your life.”
“It provides you the assurance that you do, in fact, have control over your life.”

They Follow Proper Decorum

Bell discovered that small gestures, such as wishing individuals a happy birthday or sending thank you cards, are associated with success.

In his study, Corley came upon something similar. In his book, he argues, “Self-made billionaires have learned certain norms of etiquette principles you must master if you want to be a success.” These include remembering key life occasions like birthdays and weddings, practising proper table manners, and dressing correctly for the occasion.

They Place A High Value On Their Relationships

Bell argues, “Putting effort into romance has benefits.” “Those in fulfilling romantic relationships are much more likely to be happy in general and earn more money.”

Bell says in a TED talk that simply having time for family supper may go a long way: “Those who had regular dinner together as a family are 41 percent more likely to be happy and 43 percent more likely to earn over $100,000 a year.”

They Make A Schedule For The Day And Write It Down

“Those who keep a calendar and a to-do list are 289 percent more likely to be millionaires than those who don’t have a regular plan,” Bell says. He also discovered that “insights” are “documented” by successful people.

Bill Gates and Richard Branson, both self-made billionaires, are noted note-takers. “You have to capture inspiration when it comes,” Branson explains.

The difference between self-made billionaires and the rest of the pack is that they do not rely on luck to achieve their goals. Rather than waiting for success or fortune to fall into their laps, they take daily action to get closer to the finish line.

Although becoming a billionaire may appear to be an unattainable goal, the number of self-made billionaires grows every year. Yes, it isn’t going to be easy, but it is doable and within your grasp.
