What To Do To Be A Wealthy Entrepreneur

In this article: 7 Habits of Highly Wealthy Entrepreneurs by Dave Lavinsky, he shares some great tips. Have a read, take notes and pick one or two to start of with if you have more than one of the non wealth building habits.

Habits are what will make you successful – not any old habit… good ones! And…. you don’t want to be like many other entrepreneurs either, you want to be wealthy – be certain about that.

  Successful Habits

“In writing his book, “Rich Habits – The Daily Success Habits of Wealthy Individuals,” author Thomas C. Corley studied the daily habits of hundreds of wealthy and poor people.

He defined wealthy people as those earning at least $160,000 annually and owning assets of at least $3.2 million. Conversely, he defined poor people as having an annual income below $30,000 and less than $5,000 in assets.

Read below to see the stark differences between the two groups.

1) Maintain a to-do list

81% of wealthy does this
9% of poor does this
Answer for successful entrepreneurs: Maintain a To Do List 

2) Wake up 3+ hours before work

44% of wealthy does this
3% of poor does this
Answer for successful entrepreneurs: Most entrepreneurs pretty much work all the time, and clearly work more than the general 9-5 work day. I prefer highly organized work to a ton of work. But either way, you need to put in the hours to succeed as an entrepreneur.

3) Listen to audio books during commute

63% of wealthy does this
5% of poor does this

Answer for successful entrepreneurs: Educate yourself during your commute. EVERY single one of the video training products I offer has an audio download component so you can listen to them during your commute. Yes, I did this on purpose.

4) Network 5+ hours or more each month

79% of wealthy does this
16% of poor does this
Answer for successful entrepreneurs: Network more. Networking is a great way to meet great people who can become: investors, mentors, advisors, customers, employees, partners, etc. If you need more of any of these things, then network more.

5) Read 30+ minutes or more each day

88% of wealthy does this
2% of poor does this
Answer for successful entrepreneurs: Read at least 30 minutes each day. Here I’m probably preaching to the choir, since you’re reading this essay of mine – good job!

6) Live a healthy lifestyle

 Eat less than 300 junk food calories per day

70% of wealthy does this

3% of poor does this

 Exercise aerobically four days a week

76% of wealthy does this

23% of poor does this

7) Use television smartly

Watch one hour or less of TV every day 67% of wealthy does this
23% of poor does this
Watch reality TV

6% of wealthy does this

78% of poor does this
Answer for successful entrepreneurs: Don’t watch too much television and when you do, don’t watch garbage.

The final, and most important habit for the world’s wealthiest entrepreneurs is that they have built and sold their companies. Of Americans with a net worth of $5 million or more, an overwhelming 80% of them are entrepreneurs who have sold their businesses.

1. Maintain a To Do list

2.  Wake up early/work hard
3. . Listen to audio books during your commute

4. Network more

5. . Read 30+ minutes each day
