Let’s start by getting it right. These are not just bad habits, these are really bad habits; and they are not
simple bad cultures but really bad habits that actually contributes greatly to their financial success. If you
ever need to learn a few bad habits, take your pick from this list.
1. They associate closely with people of their class and interest.
You must have heard of the expression “birds of a feather flock together” –TRUE. But have you heard of
the law of associate that states “you can never rise above the level of the 6 closest people to you” now I
don’t know if you agree with that law but you agree with me that financially successful people live strongly
by this rule. Let me break their thoughts down for you, if you want to start-up a business in telephone and
computer marketing, would you rather hang out with someone Nnamdi Ezeigbo (CEO of Slots) or a young
man who is just trying to survive in Trade fair (Lagos) selling recharge cards?
I thought so…
2. They plan ahead.
This one bad habit on my list that can also pass for good. Financially successful people are good at
keeping to-do-list; and as much as they can, they avoid spontaneous actions. They know with preciseness
exactly where they hope and plan to be in their future and work towards it. They know the industry they
want to belong, where they want to partake etc. DO YOU?
3. They budget their expenses
In line with bad habit #2, there are also no spontaneous expenses except on life circumstances.
Financially successful people are highly disciplined people. Think of when you approach a rich man for
support, probably an amount you expect he/she can afford to give you without stress and you know it but
he ask you to come back at a later date. Yep! You have just been placed on the next month’s budget.
4. They hold on strongly to their major believes
You know how they see their future and pursue it, that pursuit is almost like a ritual where nothing is
more important. Their goals tops priorities and they can even quit a well-paying job, abandon their families
or give up on love to pursue it. That zeal takes them where they want to go.
5. They are relatively selfish.
Financial successful people learnt the secret of the richest man in Babylon (you should read the book)
early enough to make it a bad habit –THEY PAY THEIR SELVES FIRST. Their interest always comes first
before anyone else. You can them greedy but in reality, they are keeping their eyes on the goal. Steve Jobs
abandoning his pregnant girlfriend to keep focus is an example.
There you have it, my top 5 really bad habits of financially successful people, try relating them
to some successful people you know but do me a favour first, comment your thoughts and tell us which of
these really bad habits you will prefer to have.
