12 SKILLS You Must Develop If You Want to Be RICH

Today, we learn about skills that will make you rich! Some people make success look easy. They climb the social ladder, build an impressive empire, and accrue millions of dollars like it’s second nature. We look at these people with admiration, because somehow, someway they’ve achieved what countless others only dream of doing. They started with an idea, created a lofty goal, and dared to dream bigger than anyone thought possible, but they didn’t stop there. They pushed and they persevered. They tried and they failed. They reinvented their image, pushed their limits, and in the end, they rose to the top.

1:30 : It’s about the Soft Skills. (I would add that to run your own business, you need both soft skills for the general business, and an interest and skills in what the business creates.)

2:30 : Honest Truth. We are our greatest critics. Be honest to and about yourself. (Personally, I think you should learn and recognize not to *excessively* criticize yourself, or seek perfection.)

3:05 : What Do People Want : Pay close attention to what others want, including body language, emotional cues, and vocal patterns. Understand human nature to create something people *want*.

Success is believing in oneself as well as believing in people who have needs.

And if you want your *kids* to be rich…

1. Educate yourself. If your school is not teaching personal finance, then it’s your responsibility to. I recommend the Motley Fool workbooks for personal finance.

2. Learn about compound interest. Most Americans don’t start investing until their 40’s. You need to start investing for your children as early as possible — even before they’re born — to maximize compound interest.

3. Be an example for your children. Live below your means. Educate yourself on personal finance, investing, and retirement.

IMO, You don’t have to force your kids to understand finances, but even displaying an environment focused on managing money (eg. A whiteboard of weekly expenses) helps. My parents didn’t force me to learn investing or taxes, but I do them because my Dad did when I was young.

I would like to add:

Knowing when to diffuse situations and knowing when to walk away.

Also when to not be too apologetic.

Good thing is! U CAN turn ANY skill u possess regardless of whether u beleive its worthy or not and make it/them work for YOU in YOUR favor! N if it helps others then even better! Lets ALL write down wot we CAN do and wot those set of skills cud lead to in a positive way! Its easy to take the easy way out n give up n I'm the worlds worse at that but ive quickly come to realize that that negative mindset was wot i beleived growing up bcoz i was raised by a quitter and a giver upper non bio mother who has NEVER HAD to use her integrity to help her in life always relied on others mostly her old man to get thru life never HAVING to stand on her own 2 feet! I am NOTHING like her and at almost 50 years old i really DON'T wanna spend howeva long i have left of this life thinkn in that trapped mindset! NO WAY! No matter wot even IF i dnt acheive my ultimate dream goals idc bcoz trying is better then not trying wi that shudda cudda wudda regrets! Dnt end up full of regrets n wot u wished u had done! Be like Nike n JUST DO IT!!!

Start by creating a budget to track your income and expenses. This will help you identify areas where you can save money and increase your cash flow.

Family, Religion, Friendship. These are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business.

I think you didn't say the crucial thing about success of rich people. The thing is, why rich people have those 12 skills? Other people although know many things but why they do against their knowledge. There is crucial question: which motivation they do well or worse with?

Keep your mouth shut, your eyes and ears open...
Take long, slow, deep breaths in your nose, hold as long as you can and long slow exhales out of your mouth!
Be calm, patient, polite... manners!:
Ask sincere questions, SHUT THE F**K UP, LISTEN AND FOLLOW UP!
Chew with your mouth closed, listen, do and think more than you talk.
Talk only when you have to, what you have to talk about (not gossip, or random garbage)!
Help others when and where you can.
Boost the ego's of the insecure and capable, deflate the ego's of those that need it, when and how the need it!
Balance harmony repect for self and others...
THAT DESERVE AND HAVE EARNED IT!!!

Or;
Just be an ALL TOO COMMON:
SELF-SERVING, ONE-DEMENTIONAL, IMPATIENT, IMPULSIVE, SELF-GRATIFING, SELF-JUSTIFYING, "ABJECT-SUPERIOR" EDUCUNTED, INSECURE EMOTARD...
AND OR, SERVE THEM AND JUST KEEP WONDERING WHY IS THEREFORE, THEIR GARBAGE!
OR YOU'RE THE EXPLETIVES!!!
!!!(GARBAGE)!!!

Success in my opinion is, Retiring your parents, being financially stabled. Spiritually connected with God. Physically fit and strong. Emotionally STOIC! And being able to help others do the same!!
