Strong minds suffer without complaining; weak minds complain without suffering.

Network and volunteer regularly. RISEUP to the occasion.

You’ll build valuable relationships that can result in more customers or clients,

or help you land a better job if you spend time and giving back in your community.

Almost three-quarters of wealthy people network and volunteer a minimum of five hours a month.

Among those struggling financially, only one in 10 does this.

One perk of volunteering is the company you’ll keep.

Very often the boards and committees of nonprofits are made up of wealthy, successful people.

Developing personal relationships with these folks will often result in future business relationships.

Go above and beyond in work and business.

Unsuccessful people have “it’s not in my job description” syndrome.

Consequently, they are never given more responsibility, and

their wages grow very little from year to year—if they keep their jobs at all.

Wealthy individuals, on the other hand, make themselves invaluable to their employers or customers,

writing articles related to their industry, speaking at industry events and networking.

Successful people work hard to achieve the mutual goals of their employers or their businesses.
