The Truth is if you want to get rich or super successful, there are plenty of sacrifices to be made. success or riches always comes at a cost. if you're on your journey to becoming successful then, it's better to be aware of these quality steps so that you can plan accordingly. Getting rich is not for everyone, you're free to live a mediocre life and I'm not going to tell you that life is filled with a lot of rainbows and pleasant things because the truth is a life full of challenges and disadvantages.

I'm sure that after reading this information and you're able to comprehend it then, you will realize how these rich in the society sacrifice and pay the price that made them who they are today.

The following list is based on the average of multiple multi-time millionaires and billionaires from multiple countries and cultures. Aggregate it to a single list that makes it simple for you read, comprehend and get set for the future. I'm not saying that in other to get rich you all have to make all of these sacrifices but what I'm trying to say is that there is nobody who has been able to break the chain of poverty without making one or more of these sacrifices I'm about to tell you all. here are the things you need to put into consideration if you want to get rich:

Firstly, I wanted to start with Family because it's the last thing many people want to hear about and to sacrifice. many successful individuals postpone starting a family for a later date. They start a family only after they have accumulated a lot of money or success. This is probably one of the most valuable sacrifices one makes in other to be successful (RICH). The road to financial success demands so much focus and efforts put into it that will be almost impossible to achieve the same level of greatness if you're able to sidetrack personal feelings that are just the truth. successful people don't get married earlier on and almost never in their 20's and for sure they don't have children as soon as the rest.

I sincerely believe having a kid earlier on is pretty much financial suicide, trapping you into the rat race. in other, for you to acquire wealth, the process needs your undivided attention. the moment one has a child, that child immediately becomes a focal point and everything else falls behind as it should be. A third aspect that we need to sacrifice is the relationship with your family. Parents and siblings require time, effort and sometimes financial resources as well all of which you're not in the position to spare at the beginning stages of your journey. If you're serious about getting rich, it sucks to say that you will not be able to be available for your relatives and you're not going to focus on building a family for yourself at the stage of your life and that you will postpone having a child but this is one of the harshest realities of which most rich and successful individuals sacrifice in other to get there.

Secondly, Health is one of the most important ingredients to a successful life but I'm focusing on getting RICH. The paradox is that most people sacrifice health in other to get money and sacrifice the money to regain their health. We all like to believe in the idea of the iconic image of the entrepreneur working 16 hours per day and going to gym for 2 more hours, eating vegetables and meditating for at least one hour every morning but the truth is the road to riches will take a torn of your health. the most common feeling is that of tiredness because most individuals have difficulties falling asleep. the goal keeps you up at night. there are worries to consider and everything depends on your abilities to manage them. Entrepreneurs live with the tremendous amounts of stress in their lives. They usually neglect their health in the pursuit of success.

Thirdly, Friends; There is very little room for a social life when you really want to be rich. one of the first things you should sacrifice if you want to make it is the people around you who are not pushing you further. cutting down on the toxic individual is a must then followed by those who are not actively making you better. it is fairly common for successful people to dramatically reduce their inner circle with a focus of the quality of the individuals. the average future millionaire has 1.8 close friends and they themselves are also focus on getting rich that way they are pushing each other further along the way. you need people who can relate to your struggles and that can understand why you're putting in that level of effort. nobody else understands exception of individuals who they themselves are doing the same thing. if you really want to make it in life, your inner circle should decrease in size but increase in value.

Fourth, Hobbies; "ain't nobody got time for that". Hobbies by their nature produce very little values to both yourself and your immediate environment not only that to maintain a hobby it demands time, attention and most of the time financial resources as well. If you want to be rich and you're not being you want to be in life, you can't afford to have a hobby. that's the truth. you can go golfing, paint landscapes or whatever you find worthy of calling you. hobby after you have taken care of the basis. "I'm broke". Why do you have a hobby when you can't take care of yourself. A Hobby should be the last thing on your mind.

Fifth Point, TIME; The road from 0 to financial success takes an average of 7 to 10 years depending on the industry and your emotional intelligence, your intellect, your ability to play the market and the volume of work you are able to put out in other to make it happen. Guess what, the days you spend on your computer on negotiating with clients are probably not going to be the best years of your life but it's a sacrifice one needs to make if you're serious about getting rich because it's a sacrifice one needs to make if you're serious about getting rich because it's that time that yields the result you're looking for. 7 years might sounds like a lot of time and it doesn't mean that those will lack any positive memories. Time will pass another way so, make sure that you invest it wisely, ask yourself the following question:

"Are you willing to eat shit for several years in other to eat Caviar for the rest of your life?"

Sixth, Happiness Is a big one because as you know money can't buy you happiness at the end but in other to get money you only need to sacrifice your happiness to certain degree even if you love what you do, nobody is happy working for 14 to 16 hours a day every single day that's not how God made us. so there is need to be a balance to the amount of happiness you're willing to sacrifice in exchange for material gain.

If you sacrifice too much you might not be able to cope with your new reality. now, this is just a frank observation of what i have seen and my experiences in life. Sacrificing your happiness at this stage will result to you be able to enjoy different types of happiness in the future like being able to spend quality time with your child when the time is right because you won't have to worry about paying the freaken bills. That's the sacrifice that you should be willing to make.

Seventh step; you can't sleep, broke people sleep. you have to be willing to sacrifice sleep and if you sleep you may miss the opportunity to be successful.

"Sleep is for Billionaires"

If you draw the line and look at this objectively, sleeping less is an amazing advantage if you make quality use of the time when you're awake. there is no point sleeping further in the night if you're only going to be working 8 hours during the Day. sleep is the first thing everyone should sacrifice when they begin their Journey. 6 hours of sleep per night is really manageable and you can fit a lot more work during the day. avoid much sleep.

Eight step, "WHO ARE YOU?"; If you want to be rich and want to be successful, you need to sacrifice who you are in other to become who you want to be. it's smart to think of yourself in terms of working conquest similar to a software this is your current version but don't be afraid to make updates, fix bugs, and redirect what makes you, you. Your current reality didn't make you rich, the current version of yourself wasn't able to solve the challenges needed to further your achievements from a financial standard point so you, need to do something about it.

Evaluate who you really are, what are the things that let you back what are the things that the current version of yourself fails to do then, seek ways to transform yourself in that department. An easy aspect to point out is discipline, if you lack discipline, you probably never going to be successful. poor people always lack discipline. this is because success in any form comes actions which add up over time. unless you can discipline yourself you can't stand a chance. I'm making researchers, reading books, writing, traveling and having sleepless nights in other for me to spread out information that can improve the lives of people and make this world a better place of everyone. it's not a bad idea if everyone is RICH. Although, it's not possible but i wish 78% of people around the world to be rich. discipline is one of the 15 treads that produce success in life.

Nineth step; Entertainment; This is the second thing people who wants to get rich should sacrifice. there is no need for people who wants to be rich to sit down and watch a lot of movies. there is no value there. poor people always justify by wasting time in one form or another if you are just starting out as we know must of you're immediately cut out the low and medium levels of entertainment in your life. if you can't cut everything out. Then, enjoy only the best medium of entertainment that works as a reward unless your fashion is sport player, there is no need for you to watch sports on Television. There is no need for you to be on social media unless you're running a media business. This is not a video on how to be happy in life but this is a video of what it takes to get rich. you need all your creative powers and working hours to be put in and compounded in achieving your goal. you can't have fast because you're going to fail.

Tenth step.. Stability; Getting rich is a rollercoaster, it will take a lot of ups and downs until you reach your destination. stability gets sacrifices, you don't know what tomorrows hold, you don't have luxuries of been at ease. you need to move yourself to position yourself, to meet new people, to negotiate your own reality and provide for yourself since nobody is going to go get it for you. if you believe your environment is keeping you from been successful, sacrifice it, move somewhere else, you are in control of your ride and life. if it doesn't work out, you are the only one who is to blame. although the journey is a rollercoaster, the rider is worth it, so get busy.
