3. Focus On Earning
No one gets rich without multiple flows of income, Starts with the income you currently have. Increase that income and start adding multiple flows.
Developing multiple streams of income could mean starting a side hustle, generating passive income or picking up a high-paying side job.
4. Hang Out With High-Achievers
The reality of the old saying remains unaltered. Tell me who yo move with and I will tel you what you are and of course what is your worth. The community you immerse yourself in every day matters. So much so that it could affect your net worth, this is corroborated by  Steve Siebold, self-made millionaire and author of How Rich People Think”: He said “In most cases, your net worth mirrors the level of your closest friends. … We become like the people we associate with, and that’s why winners are attracted to winners.”
5. Think big
To be a millionaire, one must be creative. This is proved in the work that x-rayed on 10 distinctions between millionaires and the middle class. Successful people  spend time thinking about new ideas.

This is the highway to get super rich. Invest your money . The only reason to save money is to one day invest money.
In fact, how much you save and invest can be more important than the size of your paycheck. personal finance experts posits on average, millionaires invest 20 percent of their household income each year. Their wealth is not measured by the amount they make each year, but by how they’ve saved and invested over time.
7. Plan 
What is your financial plan? Do you have one at all? Have you thought of it? Do you know what is financial plan? “Those who maintain both a calendar and to-do list are 289 percent more likely to be millionaires, as compared with those who have no real set schedule, it is also a fact that that successful people “document insights.”
Self-made billionaires Bill Gates and Richard Branson are devoted note-takers. “It doesn’t matter how you record your notes — as long as you do,” says Branson. “When inspiration calls, you’ve got to capture it.”
8. Wake up early
The wealthiest, most successful people tend to start the day before the average person.
In a five-year study of 177 self-made millionaires, it was  found that nearly 50 percent of them woke up at least three hours before their work day actually began.
It’s a strategy to deal with inevitable daily disruptions, such as a meeting that went too long, and still have time to accomplish everything you set out to do that day. The  book, Change Your Habits, Change Your Life ”: says “Getting up at five in the morning to tackle the top three things you want to accomplish in your day allows you to regain control of your life. It gives you a sense of confidence that you, indeed, direct your life.”
9. Create Specific Money Goals
The number one reason most people don’t get what they want is that they don’t know what they want,
If you want to build wealth, you have to have a clear goal, specific plan and hard deadlines. And when you’re setting goals, don’t be afraid to think big. The rich set their expectations exceptionally high and are up for any challenge.  No one would ever strike it rich and live their dreams without huge expectations.
10. Get Comfortable With Discomfort
If you want to earn more or get ahead in life, you have to be willing to step outside of your comfort zone.
This includes negotiating what you want to earn. It is one of the simplest ways to boost your earning potential, since those who ask for more usually get it. Yet most people don’t even try.
Though negotiation can be a tricky business, but not getting paid what you are worth could mean the difference between an average life and a rich one. After all, the number one thing that will dictate your future earning potential and get you to the million position the fastest is how much money you are earning today.
