How I Will Be Rich

I’m currently finishing an excellent book called The Magic of Thinking Big by David J. Schwartz. In the very last chapter there is a great list of ways to improve your life. The list that the book has is a list of suggestions. I thought the list was such a great list that I basically used it word for word. In fact, I even made a copy of this list and hung it on the wall in my office. I recommend printing this out and putting this somewhere prominent to constantly remind yourself of the points in your life that can use improvement. Remember this list is just suggestions. Omit points that don’t apply to you and add in areas that need some improvement.

Between now and 30 days from now I will:

A. Break these habits:
1. Putting off things.
2. Negative language.
3. Watching T.V. for more than 60 minutes per day.
4. Gossip.

B. Acquire these habits:
1. A rigid morning examination of my appearance.
2. Plan each day’s work the night before.
3. Compliment people at every opportunity.

C. Increase my value to my employer in these ways:
1. Do a better job of developing my subordinates.
2. Learn more about my company, what it does, and the customers it serves.
3. Make three specific suggestions to help my company become more efficient.

D. Increase my value to my home in these ways:
1. Show more appreciation for the little things my significant other does that I’ve been taking for granted.
2. Once each week, do something special with my whole family.
3. Give one hour each day of my undivided attention to my family.

E. Sharpen my mind in these ways:
1. Invest two hours each week in reading professional magazines in my field.
2. Read one self-help book.
3. Make four new friends.
4. Spend 30 minutes a day in quiet, undisturbed thinking.
