Can you become a millionaire by developing good habits? New research suggests so, and some millionaires attribute their success to the “rules of the rich.”
Researcher Randall Bell found that those who make their beds each morning are 206 percent more likely to become millionaires.
For comedian and motivational speaker Dan Nainan, making his bed each morning is a critical part of his daily routine.
Nainan believes it sets the tone for a fresh, organized, and productive day. Additionally, the wealthy tend to read for at least 30 minutes daily and wake up three hours before their workday officially begins.
Real estate entrepreneur Ari Rastegar appreciates this quiet morning time to review his checklist and strategize for the day ahead.
Other millionaire habits include creating to-do lists, emotional control, smiling at neighbors, and being friendly.
They also emphasize listening more than talking and avoid gossip at work. While these habits may seem small individually, researcher Thomas Corley emphasizes their cumulative effect over time.
It is not about overnight transformation, but consistent effort that eventually pays off.
So, if you’re looking to adopt the “rules of the rich,” start with one or two habits at a time and stay committed.
