Small daily habits are more important than big, infrequent home runs ?
The thing with knowledge is that it can decay if left ignored. How many of us can solve the calculus problems from high school that helped us score the top rank? Just because you were able to do something once successfully doesn't guarantee that you will be able to do it again especially if you do not practice it frequently.
The belief that 'One day' you will be a millionaire is absolutely baseless if you are not working towards it daily. When you do not take daily steps towards your goals, your mind will lead you to believe in this 'One day' concept. The great thought of waking up one day to find the $10K you invested in stock market has now grown to $1 M is ridiculous. It has not happened for others and will not happen for you unless you educate yourself everyday and nurture your investments based on what you learnt.
So kick your ass and get going as that 'One Day' is today and it is right now. Make this a daily habit, learn something about investments daily rather than hoping to make it work one day and hitting the jackpot!

It gives you ancillary information that you can incorporate in your daily activities. The end result is new and exciting ways of managing yourself in your business by taking what people have done outside of your business and applying within.
A formalized and structured time for daily learning is all you need to be the top 1%. So buddy, set it up on your calendar today and let's talk in 30 days to see if it has become a habit for you!
If
you pursue your dream in life, you will by far be the happiest (& the
wealthiest!) among the most around you. Because you love what you do, you are
happy devoting more hours each day driving toward your dream. Mark Zuckerberg
in a
Q&A session when asked how long he works, said
"That depends on what you count as work,"
Zuckerberg said in response to a question about how many hours he works each
day. "I spend most of my time thinking about how to connect the world and
serve our community better, but a lot of that time isn't in our office or
meeting with people or doing what you'd call real work."
"I take a lot of time just to read and think
about things by myself," he added. "If you count the time I'm in the
office, it's probably no more than 50-60 hours a week. But if you count all the
time I'm focused on our mission, that's basically my whole life."
Make
life about always being true to what your dream is and not what family,
friends, teachers and society tell you that you should be. And you know finding
your dream is easy and here is the process for it:
1. List down everything you can
remember that ever made you happy2. Identify those items in this
list that involve a skill and identify that skill3. Rank the top 10 highlighted
items in the order of joy they bring to you. Whatever makes you happiest
of all gets 10 points.4. Now rank the top 10
highlighted items in terms of their income potential. The most lucrative
skill of all is worth 10 points.5. Total the two ranked columns.
The highest score represents a potential main dream in your life.
