Secrets of wealthy people...success formulas
Success does not come to everyone who works hard. It courts but a few people. There are certain values to be adapted and methods to be followed for successful people to become wealthy. Success lies in putting them into practice. The habits, practices, and what led some people to become rich, could become our success manthras.
Goal in focus
Many of us have more than one goal. For example, Vamsi aims to be a film hero. If it is not possible, he will become a businessman. If even this is not possible, he wants to be a real estate broker. All wealthy people had just one goal and succeeded in achieving it. The goal should be ideal. The key principle for success is focussing on the goal. At least 81 per cent of the wealthy people make a list of daily chores. Not because they would forget, but just to keep reminding themselves often of what to do and become more determined. They will adhere to focussing on the goal, determination and patience. They do not allow negative thoughts like 'What to do...bad luck,' to come close by. They always step forward with positive thoughts, which is one of their success manthras. Actually, the main difference between the wealthy and the ordinary people is that, the former have a clear goal in mind and they know the path to follow. Whereas, ordinary folks will not have clarity on their goals. They want to do many things, but they do not practice anything.
Book lovers

Because of widespread relations, they get innovative ideas, they believe. At least three fourths of the wealthy take part in voluntary services. They allocate at least five hours a month for this. They want to give back to the society in a small way. Even this is growing human relations in a way. Truly speaking, annually, at least 70 per cent of the successful people reach their goal and reach higher.

Choose which class of people you are close with. Most wealthy people have relations with the same class, i.e, wealthy and successful. They will see that they have positive minded people around them.

Say 'No' if you cannot
"The difference between successful people and really successful people is that, the really successful ones say no to many things," says Warren Buffet. If you say yes to everything, it might lead you to a situation where you cannot do want you really want to do. That is why really successful people know when to say 'No' and when 'Yes.'
