Many people want to be rich but keep on wondering why things aren’t working out for them. They try to save, get into business, or pump their money into funds management firms, but still realize no financial progress.
One man carried out a five-year study on self-made millionaires and found out something that defines this clique: They never say “I’ll do it tomorrow.”
What it means is that they avoid procrastination as much as possible, says Thomas C. Corley, who conducted the study on 177 self made millionaires over the five-year period.
In his upcoming book, titled, “Change Your Habits, Change Your Life,” he notes that procrastination “prevents even the most talented individuals from realizing success in life.”
He points out that, according to Gallup, a mere 13% of employees are fully “engaged” or emotionally absorbed in their jobs or work.
“Whether you realize it or not, procrastination is a big reason why you are struggling financially in life. It damages your credibility with employers and fellow colleagues at work. It also affects the quality of your work and this affects the business you or your employer receive from customers, clients, and business relationships,” he writes in his book.
