WRITTEN BY NATALIE LEDWELL P R E M I E R What do the wealthiest and most successful people on the planet do or think, that separates them from everyone else? Do they have better luck? A better education? Or do they know something that the rest of the world doesn’t? The wealthy and successful don’t spend time blaming other people or the economy for their failures; rather, they take responsibility for their own actions. When things go wrong they see these situations as opportunities to grow and learn, so they don’t make the same mistake twice. Now, while there’s no exact secret formula to success, there are many traits and habits that these individuals have in common. Trait 5. If you’d like to make sure your actions and way of thinking are leading you towards success, then adopt these five traits of the wealthiest and most successful among us, starting today: The Law of Attraction says that: like attracts like, and successful people know this. They agree that just as positivity is contagious, negativity is equally so, so they would rather hang out and engage in productive conversations with people that share their same ideas and their prosperity mindset. Trait 1. Follow your passion. To the average person, it may look like the wealthy and successful are always working, but the truth is they’re following their passion and simply finding a way to get paid for it. They don’t take jobs just for the financial reward and they never refer to work in a negative way, as they know this is their contribution to the world and what ultimately allows them to fulfill their goals and achieve their dreams. And, they enjoy every minute of it! Seek the company of like- minded people. They’re not afraid of doing it all over again. Trait 2. Look forward to the future. The wealthy and successful don’t dwell on the past or let the stories about ‘the good old days’ bring them down. Instead they learn from their past while appreciating the present, taking advantage of all the opportunities it brings. They spend a lot of their time focusing on their goals and planning things that will maybe take years to achieve; yet they remain optimistic because this gives them a glimpse into how their future will look, which excites them. Trait 3. Constantly be learning. Most wealthy and successful people understand that life is about experiences, and the day you stop learning, you’re no longer alive. So they’re always asking questions and never settle for what they currently know. Trait 6. Believe in yourself. Often times, the confidence of the wealthiest and most successful people is mistaken for arrogance; but the truth is that they seem overly confident because they are used to taking risks and are rarely disappointed. Even when they fail, they’re confident that they will come back wiser and more successful than ever. They’re not afraid of doing it all over again. Trait 7. Be comfortable in the uncomfortable. Embrace change and love innovation! Successful people always think about what’s next, and they’re okay with sacrificing and taking risks for what they truly believe in and want most in life. They understand that change is what brings new opportunities and what makes humanity evolve, so they’re always looking for it. No matter where you stand right now in your success level, remember that it is the journey that matters and what makes life worthwhile. So I encourage you to start adopting these seven qualities and you’ll soon see how things start changing for the better in your career and personal life.
