5 REALLY BAD HABITS OF FINANCIALLY SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE
Let’s start by getting it right. These are not just bad habits, these are really bad habits; and they are not simple bad cultures but really bad habits that actually contributes greatly to their financial success. If you ever need to learn a few bad habits, take your pick from this list.
1. They associate closely with people of their class and interest.
You must have heard of the expression “birds of a feather
flock together” –TRUE. But have you heard of the law of associate that states
“you can never rise above the level of the 6 closest people to you” now I don’t
know if you agree with that law but you agree with me that financially
successful people live strongly by this rule. Let me break their thoughts down
for you, if you want to start-up a business in telephone and computer
marketing, would you rather hang out with someone Nnamdi Ezeigbo (CEO of Slots) or a young man who is just trying to
survive in Trade fair (Lagos) selling recharge cards?
This one bad habit on my list that can also pass for good.
Financially successful people are good at keeping to-do-list; and as much as
they can, they avoid spontaneous actions. They know with preciseness exactly
where they hope and plan to be in their future and work towards it. They know
the industry they want to belong, where they want to partake etc. DO YOU?
3. They budget their expenses

In line with bad habit #2, there are also no spontaneous
expenses except on life circumstances. Financially successful people are highly
disciplined people. Think of when you approach a rich man for support, probably
an amount you expect he/she can afford to give you without stress and you know
it but he ask you to come back at a later date. Yep! You have just been placed
on the next month’s budget.
4. They hold on strongly to their major believes

You know how they see their future and pursue it, that
pursuit is almost like a ritual where nothing is
more important. Their goals tops priorities and they can even quit a well-paying job, abandon their families or give up on love to pursue it. That zeal takes them where they want to go.
5. They are relatively selfish.

Financial successful people learnt the secret of the richest man in Babylon (you
should read the book) early enough to make it a bad habit –THEY PAY THEIR SELVES
FIRST. Their interest always comes first before anyone else. You can them
greedy but in reality, they are keeping their eyes on the goal. Steve Jobs abandoning his pregnant
girlfriend to keep focus is an example.
