You have to start somewhere. Why not take advantage of the habits of those who have already made their millions? A recent five-year study revealed the “rich habits” of 177 self-made millionaires.

13. Daily Aerobic Exercise

Successful people realize cardio is good not only for the body but also for the brain. Exercise grows brain cells. 76% set aside at least 30 minutes per day of aerobic exercise.

12. Follow Your Passion

This is the only way to achieve long-term happiness. Wealthy people define their goals and pursue them fervently.

This is considered a trademark of all self-made millionaires. You must be aware of your thoughts and deal with the negative ones as they arise.

Thank you notes, acknowledgments of life events, proper table manners, and dress are all part of their repertoire.

Thinking is one of the keys to success. Every morning, many self-made millionaires isolate themselves for at least 15 minutes and brainstorm. Topics may include anything from finance to health to charity.

Feedback tells the wealthy what works and what doesn't. It's crucial for success.

Nearly 50% of self-made millionaires in the study woke up at least 3 hours before their workday began. It gave them uninterrupted time to tackle the biggest tasks.

These people tend to be goal-oriented and have a positive mental attitude as well.
