You hear a LOT about the few things to do to achieve success.
To me, it’s more important to understand the opposite.
Doing nothing is not a “neutral” position.
So, here are 10 things that may shock you will guarantee you stay poor:
- Think you will start tomorrow…
- Blame others for your life
- Work on stuff that doesn’t matter
- Expect someone else to bail you out
- Do it alone
- Only read, watch or consume
- Pick a spouse or friends that aren’t supportive
- Avoid discomfort
- Value short-term pleasure over longer-term advantage
- Fail to understand and use leverage (see this blog post for 4-ways to employ leverage)
If you are doing any of these, know they are not just “treading water.”
You are sinking in real jeopardy of drowning.
I say this with the kindest of intentions.
It’s time to snap out of it and get in the right track. It’s not too late if you do it now.
