The Strange Habits of The Super-Successful.

Billionaires and ultra-successful business people are just as human as the rest of us. They were born the same way we were. They breathe the same air as we do, and one day they’ll die just like the rest of us too. It’s what they achieve during their working lives that makes them appear so very different from the average person, but in reality, there’s nothing they do that we couldn’t in the majority of cases. For the most part, their success is down to hard work, consistency, a positive mindset, and some applied knowledge. The occasional spark of genius doesn’t hurt either.

Many people ask themselves what makes successful people ‘tick,’ as if understanding their motivations might make it easier to emulate them. There are many possible answers to that question because habits vary from person to person, but we’re aware of a few habits that the super-successful have that the average person probably doesn’t. In some cases, there might be a connection between the habits they pick up and the success they go on to enjoy. If you’re interested in what some of the world’s richest and most respected business leaders make a habit out of, we’re here to shed some light on the issue.

We’re not going to tell you that picking up these habits will make you successful. The world of business isn’t that easy to conquer. However, we will explain how these habits might become part of a successful lifestyle and a positive approach to both life and work. Read on and enjoy!

Using A Rocking Chair

There have been few success stories of the past five decades bigger than that of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. He went from being a stereotypical college nerd with an interest in computers to becoming the richest man in the world and ushering in the computer age in the workplace.

According to him, one of the secrets of his success is owning a rocking chair and rocking himself in it gently when he feels stressed or overwhelmed. He says it helps him to disconnect for a few moments, refocus, and find his inner peace. A psychologist might tell you that it subconsciously reminds him of being rocked by his mother, thus reminding him of the time in his life he felt the most safe and secure. Either way, if it works for him, there’s no reason why it can’t and shouldn’t work for you.

Gambling

This might sound counter-intuitive, and the example we’re about to use is counter-intuitive too but bear with us on this. Richard Nixon was a huge gambler, and although his time in office ended in disgrace, he still became President of the United States of America. He funded almost all of his political campaigns through gambling. This isn’t to say that you should immediately open an account with an online-slots website. There are such things as a good gamble and a bad gamble, and although it’s certainly possible to win money through popular online slots like the very famous Starburst slot game, you shouldn’t take such a reckless approach to your business life because you have no control over the way a spin might turn out with online slots.
