The habits and techniques that must be applied by those who want to become rich are virtually the same as those that must be employed by any successful salesperson. Here are the habits that anyone who wants to work their way up to being rich must have.
Hard-work
According to INC.com, the secret of becoming rich (as well as being successful in sales) is hard work. Talent and even work experience don't mean as much as working on yourself in the long run.
Discipline
Self-discipline and asceticism are the fundamentals of long-term success. Learn this virtue and you'll be a few steps closer to success, both in business and in your personal life.
A system
Even if you do the things you do in the best possible way, without a system your efforts can end in sheer chaos. Having a system in everything, and the ability to prioritize are things that separate the successful from the less successful.
The ability to adapt
The ability to think, not just from your own point of view, but to adapt to the mind-set of the other person, and the ability to empathize – these are the fundamentals you can't do without at work and in your personal life as well. Excercise emotional intelligence whenever you can and you'll see a change for the better in all the interactions with the people around you.
The ability to act and to decide
Being quick in making decisions is an essential skill in this ever-changing world. Decisiveness and the ability to evaluate situations quickly is as important in personal negotiations as in the preparation of business plans and strategies. Learn to decide quickly while keeping the long-term consequences of this decision in mind.
