After five years of researching the habits of millionaires, mostly self-made millionaires, I’ve identified the most important factor in accumulating enormous wealth: pursuing something you’re passionate about. It goes by another name: purpose.
When you pursue your main purpose in life, you are filled with passion. That passion works like fuel. It gives you energy to put in the hours and work hard. In my research, self-made millionaires worked an average of eleven hours more per week than the poor.
It’s not that successful people have a greater work ethic. They work harder because they love what they do. They have found their main purpose in life and when you find your main purpose in life, it motivates you to work. You want to work.
But we’re using the wrong word here: work. What you do for a living is no longer work if you enjoy it. Individuals do not become successful because they are workaholics. They become successful because they no longer ‘work’.
“But I don’t know what my main purpose in life is,” you say. Well, I have news for you. You do. Everyone has a main goal. In fact, everyone has the same, identical main goal. You just don’t know. So what is the common main goal that everyone shares?
To improve the lives of others by adding value to their lives.
- When what you do for a living inspires others, you are pursuing your main purpose in life.
- When you create a product that adds value, you are pursuing your main purpose in life.
- When you provide a service that adds value, you are pursuing your main purpose in life.
- When what you do for a living helps people out of poverty, you are pursuing your main purpose in life.
- When what you do for a living helps others become successful in their lives, you are pursuing your main purpose in life.
- If what you do for a living makes people happy, you are pursuing your main purpose in life.
When you boil it down to the simplest terms, the main goal of every person is to add value to the lives of others. When whatever you do adds value, you are pursuing your main goal. People will be happy to reward you financially when they see that what you do for them adds value to their lives. The more value you add, the more money you make. The more lives you add value to, the more money you make.
The formula for getting rich is actually very simple: more value + more people = more money
Your job is to figure out what your superpowers are, what your strengths are, and then figure out a way to use your superpowers to add value to the lives of as many people as possible.
The money will follow when what you do for a living adds real value to the lives of others.
