INVEST IN YOURSELF
Successful people know that it’s worth investing time, money and energy to improve yourself. That can entail reading a self-improvement book, taking a class or learning new skills.
“I invested in sales training when I was 25,” said Cardone in a CNBC article. “That made my income-producing ability skyrocket. Investing in yourself is the best investment you can make.”
ONLY TAKE A JOB IF THERE’S POTENTIAL FOR GROWTH
Even if you are not earning a large salary right away, it’s important to be at a company where you can climb the ladder.
“The rich are able to get in with the right company where there is opportunity for growth,” said Cardone in the CNBC post. “My VP of sales Jarrod Glandt started working for me over seven years ago for $2,500 a month. He wasn’t making anything but he was in the right vehicle. He grew his skillset and was able to multiply his monthly income many times over because he knew I was looking to expand.”
DON’T PAY WITH CREDIT CARDS
If you want to be wealthy, it’s important to never live above your means. One way to ensure that is to only spend money you actually have, rather than charging purchases on a credit card.
“Cut up your credit cards,” said billionaire and “Shark Tank” star Mark Cuban in a personal blog post. “If you use a credit card, you don’t want to be rich… Cash is king for those wanting to get rich.”
