Theresa Worrell: Top 10 habits of millionaires [infographic]

What does it take to become rich?

Well…my good friend Tom Corley has made this the focus of his 5 year study and together we’ve documented it in our book Rich Habits Poor Habits.

Not surprisingly today’s infographic from StocksToTrade.com shows a similar set of habits shared by millionaires.

Many of these habits are not particularly glamorous, but remain essential for the long-term success of entrepreneurs and investors.

They tend to fall in categories such as: hard work, persistence, passion, acquiring self-knowledge, associating with the right people, and staying healthy.
