This week’s theme is millionaire habits. Paying attention to the habits, behaviors, and attitudes of the most successful among us can teach us something about how to reach and maintain a financially secure retirement.

There’s this video on YouTube that I’ve watched over and over again. It’s a compilation of a bunch of quotes from motivational speakers set to music. I like to watch it when I need a little inspiration.

One of the quotes in the video is “The average millionaire has made 10,000 good decisions. That’s meticulous. The rest of us are just sloppy.”

I tried searching for the author of this quote in google, but it came up inconclusive. If you know who this is, please leave a review on iTunes or Alexa and let me know who it is.

Ok, so back to the quote. 10,000 good decisions. If you think about it and look back on your life, the windy path that got you to where you are today was marked by many decisions. Your decisions shape your outcomes in life.

How good are you at making decisions?

Do you weigh the risks along with the upside of every important decision? Are you able to make logical decisions and remove your biases? Are your decisions based on seeking pleasure today or are you willing to make a decision that delays your gratification?

Making decisions is hard. We all have baggage and biases that cause us to make bad decisions all the time.

But successful people understand that their decisions today will impact their lives tomorrow, and that awareness helps them make better decisions.

That’s it for today. Thanks for listening.

Tomorrow we’re going to talk about the worst question you could ask yourself when planning a big purchase.
