Let's be honest: we greeted the coming year without much optimism. As a recent survey by Gallup International showed, 87% of Russians are confident that 2021 will be no better for the economy than the previous one.

And since you and I have no faith in global economic prosperity, we can only rely on ourselves. A crisis is a time to take yourself by the scruff of the neck, change your habits and achieve success. After all, it is they, habits, that make people rich or poor. This is the opinion of researchers who have studied the behavior of moneybags for many years. And we put their experience together and identified the main everyday habits of wealthy people. Study, adopt and cultivate “rich” habits! This year they will come in handy. And they won’t interfere with the next ones either.

Habits of rich people

Psychology is a complicated thing. Try to understand why one easily donates thousands and tens of thousands to good causes, while the other, also not the least beggar, by the way, trembles over every penny. It all depends on the way of thinking. Truly wealthy people are generous. If you take an excursion into history, you can see that most millionaires are philanthropists, philanthropists, and people who do charity work. Among them are such businessmen as Carlos Slim, Bill Gates, Andrew Carnegie, John Rockefeller. What do you need to know about the habits and psychology of a rich person? These are the following facts:

1. Rich people are purposeful. Any successful person always has clear goals, which are a kind of pointer that tells you what, when and how best to do. If he doesn't have a goal, he won't achieve anything. It is important to remember that you cannot accumulate capital by chance.

2. The psychology of rich people is unique. From the outside it may seem that they are spending money left and right, making thoughtless purchases, and wasting money. You might be surprised, but they spend less than they earn. This is perhaps one of the most important rules of life for the rich. Ordinary people increase their expenses in parallel with rising incomes. If your salary has become higher, it means you can buy more expensive things, food, buy a car, or simply take out a loan. In the end, all this leads to the same result. As for rich people, they regularly save part of their earnings. They do not spend all their money at once, but rather accumulate it. And then they invest, live on interest and have passive income.

3. Successful and rich people are hardworking. People who have achieved financial success on their own work tirelessly and are not lazy. A person who works for hire simply works out his working hours, without showing much enthusiasm or interest in the work, because he knows that at the end of the month he will receive a salary. But a major businessman or investor conducts his business energetically, with a sparkle in his eyes. This is the main difference in the psychology of a poor and a rich person.

4. They prefer risk. Many ordinary people fail before achieving victory because they are afraid to put everything on the line in some business. However, successful people take reasonable risks. So be brave if you want to become rich. But remember: courage and recklessness are different concepts.

Secrets of a successful business

Now let's move on to an equally important issue. How can you learn to think like a rich person? Here's what you need to remember:

Before you achieve what you want in real life, you need to get it in your mind. You will never become a millionaire if you don't see yourself in this role.
Your thoughts are your limit; they set the boundaries of your possibilities.
How do rich people think? First of all, stop thinking like a poor person.
You need to change your thinking and lifestyle to correspond to your status.
You need to do what will bring you success, this is what truly rich people do. The rest do what they want.

Financial optimization

Once you have a complete picture of all your income and expenses, you should begin taking specific actions to optimize your finances. Take a closer look at all your expenses. Surely there are several items on the list of expenses that you can refuse without any noticeable deterioration in your life.

Perhaps it's daily evening gatherings with friends at the bar. Or the constant purchase of fishing gear. Of course, you need to live for your own pleasure. But it’s quite possible to get by with going to the bar once a week, or fishing with old gear.

The money you save will allow you to become rich over time. And this is definitely enough motivation to start saving money.

In addition to expenses, there are also incomes. Don't forget about improving its performance. Many points of this can and should be improved.

There is the famous Pareto rule, which applies to all areas of life: “20% of effort produces 80% of income.” If you work harder on these efforts, you can achieve even greater results.

Wealthy people have “effective” thinking

It is unlikely that you will meet a successful person in line for the lottery (even before he gets rich). The simplest person usually waits for someone else to lend a helping hand and help him achieve prosperity (this could be the lottery, the government, a good friend or family member), and as a result remains poor. Rich people do not expect handouts; they act, purposefully, and spend their time solving complex tasks necessary to achieve their goals. Wealthy people prefer specific knowledge to the detriment of formal education. The average person is sure that the only way to achieve wealth is by getting a diploma or writing a dissertation. Wealthy people earn their capital by selling their own specific knowledge acquired in the process of doing their business.

Time optimization

The greatest value in a person's life is time. And in relation to the financial world, this statement is quite fair. The fact is that often it is one’s own time and professional skills that are the goods that a person can offer on the labor market. And if you devote more time to your work, then your capital will increase.

But it is not enough just to know this simple rule of wealth. It must be followed in practice. For example, giving up activities that do not bring material benefit. Perhaps you can find a hobby that will generate income. And you can give up your old hobby. It's a win-win.

Don't waste your time on useless activities. Our lives are quite short, especially the age at which we can quickly achieve results.

Don't stop there

Ordinary people have a limit to their desires, they set a kind of bar for themselves, and it is quite low - so as to be less disappointed. Rich people expect more from fate and strive to make their wildest dreams come true. Also, successful people try to benefit from the finances of others. Ordinary people are more than confident that they need to make money by increasing their personal funds.

Accounting for income and expenses

Accumulation of wealth becomes possible only when income exceeds expenses. It is in this scenario that a certain amount of money remains, which, with the proper approach, turns into quite significant capital over time.

It is impossible to control your money without having a complete understanding of how much money you earn and how much you spend. Therefore, it is worth starting to write down information about all your transactions with money. Such a list will help you soberly assess your financial situation.

It is not necessary to keep a diary of your expenses all your life. In a couple of months, everything will become clear: where the money goes.

Fixing expenses will allow spenders to think more carefully about their purchases and this will allow them to approach each purchase economically. There are many more methods for saving money. All of them are simple and accessible to everyone. There would be a desire.

Ask

Just because you ask questions doesn't mean you're not competent enough. Quite the contrary. Questions about the case reveal a person who is interested in the result . Successful managers are constantly interested in the opinions of employees, organize brainstorming sessions, and do not hesitate to ask for advice from partners and experts.

Remember that the worst question is the question that is not asked.

Millionaires waste money: is that true?

Reasonable risk

Any risk must be justified. Sometimes there is a desire to invest your money in a project that offers huge profits. It is always worth analyzing such projects. After all, if the mechanism for making a profit is not clear, then it is quite possible that such a project is just a fraudulent scheme or a financial pyramid.

And in general, you should invest your money only in those investment instruments whose mechanism is clear. It’s even better if you know people who have increased their money using the chosen instrument. In this case, there is nothing to worry about.

In most cases, high income is hype. This is a site that will definitely close, but for now it is making payments at the expense of new depositors. There were also gigantic hypes on the Internet. For example, Forex broker fx-trend, in which hundreds of millions of dollars of users have been invested. None of them ever received their money back, although they did not even promise exorbitant income.

As I noted above, you can safely invest in securities of large companies (stocks, bonds). They have minimal risks. Or you can invest in ETF funds. These are immediately balanced portfolios of stocks and bonds.

Get up early

Rich people wake up earlier than most of their employees. While ordinary people lie in their beds, watching their dreams, millionaires do routine things and manage to arrive at the office before traffic jams begin. The time before lunch is the most effective time for work, this is how the brain works. And those who use this knowledge are simply doomed to success.

Regular investing

Rich people often don't work personally. Their capital brings them money. But in order for this mechanism to be launched, you need to find the right investment instruments. It is for this reason that a person who wants to get rich should start collecting information about everything related to investing as early as possible. As knowledge accumulates, you need to move on to practical actions.

Your first investment instrument may be an ordinary bank savings account. Even if such a tool does not allow you to increase your capital many times over, the novice investor will develop the right habits regarding handling money.

I recommend investing in securities. Read how to do this in the articles:

Since 2021, it has also become promising to invest money in cryptocurrencies. Therefore, I advise you to also pay attention to this direction.

Stay on top of financial opportunities

Rich people always try to keep abreast of all the latest events in the financial world. This allows them to notice promising investment instruments in a timely manner and earn money with them. While less attentive investors only bite their elbows.

One such example is the situation with cryptocurrency. Of course, this is a rather risky investment. But the result is obvious. Many people have made millions of dollars through cryptocurrency investments. Their less attentive and decisive comrades were left behind this financial ship.

No. 2. Write down your ideas

You may not even notice how brilliant ideas sometimes pop into your head. They simply appear and disappear unclaimed.

The habit of writing down your ideas every day helps not only to keep interesting ideas and solutions in your head, but also helps you learn to generate ideas, regardless of the circumstances.

Of course, at the initial stage it is difficult to take and write down something useful, because you have never done this before. In the future, when practice becomes a habit, it will be much easier to keep notes. What if one of your written down ideas turns out to be a brilliant solution?

It's time to act

Physiologists say that if you force yourself to play sports, then gradually the body itself will begin to help and mobilize its abilities. Gradually, you will strive to train, because without it “something will not be the same.” I think this is also relevant for psychology and the formation of any habit. The main thing is to start!

Determine your own motivation. Values and interests are individual, so there can be no general recipe here.
It's good to form a new habit based on old (or bad) habits. Think about what makes you do wrong. What allows you to avoid unwanted behavior? Grasp this straw and move on from it. For example, if you work more productively during the day knowing that you will have a nice dinner in the evening, then schedule such a pastime regularly.
To form a habit, emotional reinforcement is important: positive or negative, that is, “carrot” and “stick”. To form a positive habit, it is important to praise yourself. For example, after a hard workout, take a cool shower or drink a glass of fresh juice. Gradually, the subconscious will remember that after “violence” comes a pleasant stroking. And trying to get up early in the morning to run will no longer be so incredible and painful.
Determine the connection (action - positive reinforcement - result) that you want to receive. Search, try, watch your reactions. You can pay attention to other people's experiences, but remember: you are a unique individual, you need your own recipe for success.
Consciously repeat this connection day after day, or even more than once. Yes, this is the most difficult thing, you need will, discipline, responsibility, self-control.
The optimal number of useful habits to form is 1-2 per month.
Think about good habits and the desired outcome and don't think about old habits. Thoughts influence the formation of neural connections (this is a habit) no less than actions.
There will be difficulties. You need to be prepared for them, but you don’t need to expect them, that is, worry in vain.
You can't retreat, but you can make mistakes. Mistakes are our experience.
Don't blame yourself. We made a mistake - we admitted it, found the reason, drew conclusions, and moved on.

Do good deeds

Charity is not a way to get rid of the billions that are pouring over the edge of the yacht. Helping everyone - from sick children to Amur tigers - is a way to replenish energy and feel better. And also - to be among the elite, those who create charitable foundations and launch entire programs. While you don’t have an extra million, you can practice less expensive acts of kindness: take unwanted clothes to a crisis center or take a pack of diapers to a children’s hospital.

How to get rich at home - 6 ways

I have collected popular and proven ways to get rich remotely. If I missed something or you have interesting ideas, please share in the comments.

Become a freelancer and build a team

You can’t make big money alone – tested 100 times. Yes, first you need to gain experience yourself by fulfilling orders. But as soon as the price bar rises along with professionalism, it’s time to create a team, give part of the work to it and receive commissions. And take on organizational tasks: searching and negotiating with clients, advertising, development strategy.

You can assemble a team without investment. Set piecework payment for each order.

Open an online school

Write down on paper the areas in which you are an expert. Think about how to teach and make your offer unique. Record educational videos or articles. Advertise them yourself or hire an internet marketer.

Azat Valeev earned his first million through online courses. The price of his personal coaching flew up to 500,000 rubles.

Investments are different. If you are currently launching courses on your own, then you can get by with 10,000 rubles. in one launch. Good camera, high-speed Internet, advertising, paid services.

Create a website

Come up with a powerful idea for a website. For example, a weight loss diary or a fan club (biography, jokes). Creating a website for the sake of a website is a fool’s errand.

Initial investment 1,500 – 2,000 rubles. for domain and hosting. For specialists 5,000 – 7,000 rubles, if you cannot do website building yourself.

This could be an exchange of articles with passive income - a percentage of transactions between the contractor and the customer, or an information site.

I recommend Vasily Blinov’s course on creating information websites. Follow the link to view the detailed program.

Become an Instagram star

Instagram stars with 500,000 subscribers receive up to 30,000 rubles. for an advertising post. It will be possible to achieve such indicators in a few months or years.

You need to post original, high-quality photos in a single theme. You can, of course, keep a personal blog about life, but the chances are 50/50 if you are not a pop star or an actor.

Resell goods from China

On Black Friday and in bulk, you can buy goods 20 - 30% lower than their actual cost in the store. Imagine a children's educational mat that costs 1,700 rubles here, you can buy it there for 500 rubles. List it for 1,000 rubles. and buyers will come running to you.

Why will they take it from you and not from China? The wholesale price is still lower. Not everyone knows and trusts Chinese stores. Nobody wants to wait. After all, when the thing arrives, the child can grow out of it. And you will also defeat Russian competitors at a lower price.

Create a YouTube channel

The author of the SlivkiShow channel, Yuri Yaniv, earns 133 million rubles a year. The YouTuber's videos receive several million views. He makes videos on interesting topics: how to live a day on a certain amount, shows the inside of equipment, tests life hacks. You can create a better channel.

I advise you not to copy, but to look for something of your own. Then don’t give up the channel while it brings in some money, you will find your viewer and achieve success.
