10. Not Willing to Make Sacrifices
A lot of people dream of becoming rich but they’re not willing to make sacrifices to get there. For example, if you need startup cash to launch a business, you need to cut back on your spending. The easiest way to save money is to move back in with your parents so that you don’t have to pay rent. A lot of adults are not willing to do this. They would rather choose having independence over taking the risk to launch a business. So they get into debt instead. The only way to achieve great things is to be different than normal people.

In this world, there is always a balance of things. You’ll need to give up something in order to achieve wealth. For example, millionaire Graham Stephan stayed single for several years while he built his real estate business. He knew that being in a relationship took a lot of time and effort to make it work. So he waited until he achieved financial success before he found a girlfriend. Many people who try to “have it all” end up burning out before they can achieve success.
