Here Are 4 Money-Making Habits Sara Blakely, Mark Cuban And Tony Robbins Use To Ensure Success
First, all three have “an undeniable commitment to achieve.”
In other words, you have to dream big and believe in what you are doing
so much that your subconscious mind plows through any uncertainty, in
turn making “certainty” the only thing your mind believes.
Second, “add never-ending value and always be the student.” Just getting rich is not the end of the line. There is much to it than that, and as the old cliché says, knowledge is power.
Third, you must use “visualization of success and execution.”
Visualization and the power of thought are how one allows your
imagination to turn your ideas into reality, and perhaps a large
fortune, such as was the case of Sara Blakely, a strong believer in the
power of thought.
Fourth, “persistence is the key that unlocks the door.”
You must have the willpower to bring your make your dream a reality and
the willpower to turn that dream into money. Failure is not the end of
the line for self-made success stories. It’s quite the opposite in fact.
Failure is just another tool to use to improve your plans and goals.

Street Smarts Almost Always Beats Out Book Smarts
Highly motivated kids have a greater advantage in life than kids with a high IQ
There’s a term for people like Ovsak—the kind of go-getter who would actually choose to take on a complicated programming challenge on top of a heavy load of demanding schoolwork. Educational psychologists Adele and Allen Gottfried call people who are standouts when it comes to effort and determination “motivationally gifted.” According to the Gottfrieds, our culture has vastly underestimated just how essential motivation is to ensuring success later in life. If society learns to value this quality in the same way that it regards intelligence or leadership skills, it could be an enormous boon for children—particularly because motivation, unlike many other talents, is a quality that’s accessible to us all.
The Gottfrieds believe one of the study’s most significant findings centers on motivation. Kids who scored higher on measures of academic intrinsic motivation at a young age—meaning that they enjoyed learning for its own sake—performed better in school, took more challenging courses, and earned more advanced degrees than their peers. They were more likely to be leaders and more self-confident about schoolwork. Teachers saw them as learning more and working harder. As young adults, they continued to seek out challenges and leadership opportunities. If there’s a secret sauce to winning at life, the motivational kids seemed to have found it.

Used Is The Cost Effective Way To Go
Satisfaction Guaranteed? Cars Owners Love and Hate
Before you buy a brand-new car, consult CR's exclusive ratings to see if the right used car is a smarter choice
Perhaps the most compelling reason to buy used is that it can put premium features and luxury within reach of those who otherwise couldn’t afford them.
“Going the used-car route can let you step up to a model that’s more luxurious, better equipped, and more enjoyable to drive,” says Jake Fisher, director of CR’s auto testing.

Before you buy a brand-new car, consult CR's exclusive ratings to see if the right used car is a smarter choice
Nothing beats the feeling of
driving a brand-new car off the lot. But if you want great value and
more features than your budget allows, consider buying used. In fact, if
you choose wisely, the only thing you’ll give up when you buy a used
car is that new-car smell.
The average new car loses about half its value in the first three years of ownership, says Mel Yu, CR’s automotive analyst. Buying a used car means that the previous owner took that financial hit.
CR’s survey results show that cars in general are very reliable today, easily clocking in 100,000 miles or more before needing any major repairs. If you take the necessary precautions when buying a used car from a recent model year, chances are good you’ll end up with one you can drive for years to come without needing to do much more than change the oil.
