Defining "Success"
“Success” isn’t just having lots of money.
Success is continuously improving who you are, how you live, how you serve, and how you relate.
Putting "first things" first
Start the day with your #1 priority.
Getting up early isn’t enough. You need to put first things first. When you put your top priorities first, then you ensure they make it into the bucket of your day. After your main priorities have been completed, the rest will fill the gaps.

The wealthy
Most rich people do not flaunt their wealth: They don't live in high-class neighborhoods or drive expensive cars. They look like you and me.

The pseudo-affluent
They buy things that convey success. They want you to know just how much stuff they have by showing off their success.
The pseudo-affluent feel insecure about how they compare with the Joneses and the Smiths. They hold on to the belief that all economically successful people display their success through prestige products.
Characteristics of the pseudo-affluent
The pseudo-affluent generally:
- They earn a high-income, but spend the majority of what they make.
- Wear expensive suits or carry expensive purses.
- Drive high-end luxury or sports cars.
- Really believe that rich people act rich.
It does not mean that every person that drives a BMW pretends to be rich, but those who do spend the majority of high incomes spend it in a way to display their wealth.

9 Ways To Building Wealth Fast
- Save on vehicles. Before buying a car, investigate vehicle reliability, pricing and financing.
- Rent. Most rentals offer more flexibility in case you need to move. Also, not having the mortgage payment allows you to start saving earlier.
- Don’t be a consumerist, buy only the things you really need.
- Save a percentage of your income so you have more money to invest.
- Work hard on your current work regardless of your feelings for it. It’s easier than finding a new great opportunity and may lead you into a promotion.

- Invest in yourself and your marketing to open up new opportunities.
- Being an entrepreneur is the best way to maximize your earnings, short of being an investor. Try it, even if it fails the learning from it will be invaluable in your next attempt.
