Top 10 habits of millionaires [infographic]

What does it take to become rich?

Well...my good friend Tom Corley has made this the focus of his 5-year study and together we've documented it in our book Rich Habits Poor Habits.

Not surprisingly today’s infographic from StocksToTrade.com shows a similar set of habits shared by millionaires.

Many of these habits are not particularly glamorous but remain essential for the long-term success of entrepreneurs and investors.

They tend to fall into categories such as hard work, persistence, passion, acquiring self-knowledge, associating with the right people, and staying healthy.

Here are the most important statistics to consider:

• 88% of the rich devote 30 minutes or more each day to self-education or self-improvement.
