Huge goals undermine motivation

The journalist spent five years studying millionaires' stories and he thinks he knows what kind of habit precludes success.
Each Millionaire's success story is different. There is no prescription that you can follow carefully to ensure that you will all be considered a successful person in the future.
But Tom Corley spent five years exploring the lives of millionaires and concluded that they have some common features. At the same time Corley has also announced the main habit of having unsuccessful people - you must immediately get rid of it.

Corley research it was important that they all succeed have reached themselves - those who have won or inherited wealth was not included in the study. Corley noticed that although all the stories were different, some habits are seen in the lives of almost all millionaires.
For example, many millionaires even before enriching: experimenting - trying to find out their talents and hobbies;
Read - at least half an hour every day contributes to education;
Developed useful social relationships - Future millionaires often interacted with people who worked a lot, had ambitious goals and ambitions, with other future millionaires.
Set goals - huge goals undermine motivation, so the smaller ones work better - they are like steps towards a great dream;
Risk - The calculated risk is also necessary for success.
Clearly, there were more common habits of rich people. They all devoted time to rest, helped their families, maintained an optimistic worldview, learned from mistakes, and so on.

Corley also observes that those who do not succeed also have a common habit - do nothing. The author of the Businessinsider.com portal revealed that in his research he noticed that doing nothing was also a habit, and not habits not having.
This is often due to a lack of independence or self-control.
Unsuccessful people does not take affairs into your own hands. If the bills are completely empty at the end of each month, they still do nothing.

Instead of reading or other self-education, unsuccessful people choose a passive relaxation - they do nothing in the real sense of the word.
Or watch TV shows or videos that have not learned anything. Unsuccessful people have exactly the same goals, but they do not do anything to implement them.

In other words, successful people make better use of their time and, if they have plans, they will be implemented immediately. Whatever they do, they are accompanied by a sense of progress. Even if they spend time with their family, they know that they are building stronger ties. Successful people, according to Corley, also perceive that doing nothing is a habit.
Why is it important to know this? Because you need to get rid of it as a harmful habit - you need to realize that every time you covet yourself ineffective (catch yourself by doing nothing), you harm yourself.
