 Advice from Robert J. Ringer on How to Become a Millionaire Instead of a Wanabe

Robert J. Ringer in his book Million Dollar Habits discusses 10 habits that can help you become a millionaire. Here are the 10 habits (in order of importance).

Millionaire Habit #1. The Reality Habit: You must have an accurate perception of reality.

Millionaire Habit #2. The Attitude Habit: You must Develope an attitude to objectively evaluate alternatives and creative out-of-the-box thinking in the face of difficult situations.

Millionaire Habit #3. The Perspective Habit: Keeping problems in relative perspective, e.g., comparing day-to-day problems with true catastrophes such as death of near-ones, life-long disability / disease enables one to not panic unduly from more "normal" problems

Millionaire Habit 4. The Present Living Habit: Living in the moment is important but you must be aware of what you are doing. Identify what you enjoy doing and what you are naturally good at. Then, continuously seek opportunities that enable you to spend more time on these activities.

Millionaire Habit 5. The Morality Habit: Every action has a consequence although the final result may be delayed. Taking short-cuts eventually come back to bite you and damage you in a variety of ways.

Millionaire Habit 6. The Human Relations Habit: Numerous ways to improve human relations include brevity, compassion, assertiveness, discretion, closure, genuineness, refined behavior, responsibility & commitment, tolerance, and win-win.

Millionaire Habit 7. The Simplicity Habit: Most people complicate their lives and wonder why they don't get postive results. All other things being equal, simplicity is almost always the best approach when it comes to getting results.

Millionaire Habit 8. The Drain People Elimination Habit: Discontinue relationships with people who drain you of valuable time and energy.

Millionaire Habit 9. The Self-Discipline Habit: Self-discipline comes from you and only you.

Millionaire Habit 10. The Action Habit: Action is dependent on persistence and committment.

These 10 million-dollar habits appear to be common sense. They are. The problem is that most people will delude themselves into believing that they have these habits.

Truth be known, they don't. Otherwise they wouldn't have the financial problems that they have. In other words, as Jack Canfield says, "Results don't lie.
