Special Things About Super Successful People You Must Know

It is not only fame and fortune that separates super successful people from rest of the world. They think work and live separately. They do not miss any opportunity do develop their capacities. They have commonly some special traits of character which is essentially the basis of their super-success. Let us see how they think and live.

* They get up early

Nearly 50 percent of the self-made millionaires in Corley’s research got out of bed at least three hours before their workday actually started. Many of them use the free time to tackle personal projects, plan their day, or make time for exercise.

“Getting up at five in the morning to tackle the top three things you want to accomplish in your day allows you to regain control of your life,” he writes. “It gives you a sense of confidence that you, indeed, direct your life.”

* They read, a lot

A whopping 88 percent of Corley’s wealthy respondents say they devote 30 minutes or more each day to education or self-improvement through reading.

Most do not read for entertainment; they prefer biographies, history, and self-help books.

If you enjoy a good novel, that can help you too. Science shows that reading for pleasure can also boost your career. And Corley’s point holds for many kinds of narratives. “There are important life lessons to be learned in biographies of people with rags-to-riches stories,” he writes.

* They spend 15 to 30 minutes each day on focused thinking

Many of the self-made millionaires Corley interviewed said they make time to process everything that’s going on in their lives.
“The rich tend to think in isolation, in the mornings,” he writes “and for at least 15 minutes every day.”

Often they’ll reflect on their career, their health and their personal relationships. Having quiet time to analyse your thoughts is associated with stress reduction.

In fact, taking two minutes at work to focus on nothing but your breathe will help you relax, a Harvard-trained doctor said.

* They make exercise a priority

Working out regularly clears your head and makes you feel more motivated, studies show.

According to Corley, 76 percent of his survey respondents carve out 30 minutes or more for aerobic exercise like jogging, biking or walking each day.

Many successful business leaders make sure to workout. Billionaire Richard Branson, for example, says that his morning routine of waking up at 5 am to play tennis or bike, has doubled his productivity.

* They pursue their own goals

Most self-made millionaires plan to get rich and then make it happen, Corley’s research finds.

Eighty percent of the wealthy are “obsessed with pursuing goals,” he writes. They refer to both daily and long-term goals regularly.
“I’m here to tell you to avoid putting your ladder on someone else’s wall and then spending the best years of your life climbing it,” Corley says. “Find your own wall, your own dreams, and your own goals, and pursue them.”

* They get enough sleep

Albert Einstein reportedly preferred to get at least ten hours of sleep a night. If you too function best when you’re well-rested, Corley has some good news.

An overwhelming 89 percent of self-made millionaire sleep seven or eight hours each night or more.

“Sleep is critical to success,” he writes, citing its effects on memory function and creative thinking.

* They have multiple incomes

“Self-made millionaires do not rely on one singular source of income,” Corley says. “They develop multiple streams.”

So how many sources of income do they have?

“Sixty-five percent had at least three streams of income that they created prior to making their first million dollars,” Corley says, such as a side-business or income generating investments like REITs or real estate.

“Diversifying sources of income allows you to weather the economic downturns that inevitably occur,” he writes.

* They avoid time-wasters

Money isn’t the only important resource for wealthy people. Time is crucial too.

“When we invest our time in anything, it’s lost forever,” Corley writes.
Be choosy about the apps you spend your time with, too, instead of spending hours on end watching Netflix or scrolling through Instagram.
“When you see time as the greatest risk of all, it will force you to become more aware of exactly how to invest your time,” says Corley.
