Property Investment, Success & Money | The Michael Yardney Podcast 017: Why the rich keep getting richer and how you can become one of them
Do you want to know why the rich keep getting richer and how to become one of them?
Well, today’s show is a little different and should give you some insights.
It was part of the launch for my book Rich Habits Poor Habits which I wrote with Tom Corley.
We launched the book in Australia last year and it has been doing really well. However we just recently launched in the US and this episode is an interview that Mark Creedon conducted with Tom and me.
We all know the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.
So Tom and I wrote this book to share what you can do to be like the rich and increase your wealth.

- Most life long habits are picked up by the age of nine from our parents.
- The rich keep getting richer because of what they heard and saw at home as a child. These habits start early in life. It also has to do with the people they associate with.
- Habits are malleable and can be changed. They are forged by the brain. Having keystone habits take root inside the brain.
- You only need to change one or two habits to completely transform your life.
- To turn your life around the first thing to do is recognize your situation and why you are there. Your actions are the result of the way you are thinking, so you have to change your thinking.
- The number one rich habit is the one that will have the largest impact on your life which is dream setting. This is a process of developing your future ideal life. Rich people have clarity of vision. Dream setting helps answer the question of what you want.
