We reject wealth.

… And we don’t even know it. What we believe and our view of the world ultimately determines our financial future.

Sounds wild to say but it’s true.

While working in banking, I studied those who became quietly wealthy. What this means is you’d never know they had cash.

My bank bosses referred to them as the high-net-worths. They were our private banking clients. They got our concierge service.

They drove Toyota Camrys and wore Levis’s jeans to meetings with me. They looked average but below the surface, they were rolling in cash they didn’t feel the need to flash.

I spent so much time around these quiet millionaires that their way of life rubbed off on me. Now I’m addicted to it. The overarching theme is this…

Getting wealthy is more about what you *don’t* do.

Here are the habits that made them quietly wealthy.

Stop doing BS work

Laziness doesn’t exist.

It’s a sideshow. What causes people to do work that’ll never make them wealthy is they work on the wrong thing.
