Once in a while, we sit down and try to figure out what we need to start doing. We think about our past actions and their results, where we are right now, and what we should do next. To be rich, we must focus on our present activities to have a better tomorrow. While these are logical steps to take, we ignore the fact that putting more things into our lives means we have to take out other components too. After all, we only have so much time and energy in the day. And in order to make space for what we want to do, we need to remove our bad habits and shits first. Here are the 10 things you need to stop doing now to be rich;
1.
STOP LOOKING FOR REASON TO GET STARTED
We fall into the trap of thinking there’s a perfect time to pursue a goal. Maybe we wait until our careers have reached a certain point, we’ve EARNED enough money, or someone has given us the permission to do so. There’s never a perfect time to start working on your idea, trying something new, or picking up a skill. The best time to start is now. Along the way, you’ll make mistakes and keep learning.2.
STOP LIVING TO PLEASE OTHERS
Yes, you need to take care of people around you, such as your family. But that doesn’t mean you should do things ONLY for the purpose of pleasing others. If you always follow others’ expectations to your own dissatisfaction, you’ll end up looking back. It’s time to take a pause and DECIDE what it is that you want.3.
STOP SPENDING MORE THAN YOU MAKE
If you dream to be rich and successful then you should reduce your spending habits. Every rich person knows the value of money, and they don't spend money in shitty reasons. If they do, they spend or invest wisely. Rich people buy investments but poor buy liabilities. If you stop spending more than you make, then you will see future improvements in your financial conditions and you will have plenty money to invest on assets. So, spend money wisely.4.
STOP HANGING WITH LOSERS
This is a true fact. Your environment and the people you hang out with determines your personality. You hang out with 5 Broke people, You'll obviously be the 6th one. You stay with negative people, you'll never succeed. You hang out with loser, you'll never win. Your behavior and attitude is judged by your environment. If you want to be rich and successful people, spend time with successful people as your mentor or friend. They will help you reach your goals but staying with losers or toxic people, you'll never be rich.RELATED ARTICLE: 13 SIGNS SOMEONE IS A FAKE FRIEND

STOP MAKING EXCUSES
People have hundreds of excuses to defend themselves because they do not accept their fault or mistake. Rich people never make excuses, because they keep a track of what they are doing and are ready to face the consequences. They are ready to take initiative and responsibility and do it fully. "I am not rich because my parents didn't gave me the proper education or my friends were toxic." These are excuses that pulls you back in life. If you want to be rich, stop making excuses and start taking responsibility and if you make a mistake, don't blame others or make excuses, accept it and do better next time. Everyone likes people with this attitude and you can impress a lot of people with this.6.
STOP FLEXING TO IMPRESS OTHERS
People don't see your muscles, 6 packs, money, property or wealth the first place, they see your attitude. So, Flexing to impress others won't help. You should change your attitude. The motive is to be RICH not to look RICH. More often people don't care about your looks and flexing' often terms you as childish and not masculine. So, start being HUMBLE.7.
STOP PARTYING MORE THAN YOU HUSTLE
Getting financial freedom or success is not a piece of cake. You hustle day and night to gain that position and if you party more than you hustle, YOU ARE IN POOR GROUP CATEGORY. Rich people know the value of time and they don't waste on partying more. Success doesn't just comes with talent, it also comes with hard work and hustle. Enjoying your life is a good thing but partying more than you hustle and work is a bad deal.8.
STOP ACTING LIKE THE WORLD OWES YOU
Success comes with humbleness and you see all the successful people are humble. People don't be humble, after they are successful, they are humble so they are successful. And acting like the world owes you is a clear example of EGO. And if you think you don't have any ego then this is the biggest ego that pulls you back. The world isn't just yours and you must apply some effort to succeed. If you expect others to be nice to you, then you must be nice to them. They will not be nice to you every time.9.
STOP THINKING MONEY IS HARD TO MAKE
Poor people have poor attitude towards money. They think "Money is hard to make. I don't deserve all wealth. The 1% are hoarding all the money. The rich don't pay enough taxes. It's the president's fault." Whereas Rich people think "Money comes to me easily. I deserve success and wealth. Nothing can stop my success. I am in control of my future." If you think of being successful, you will be successful. Well that doesn't mean you don't put extra hard work. You must change your mentality towards money.10.

A victim is someone who has had something bad done to them, like the victim of a murder or a burglary but people become victim in various ways when people blame you for the mistake or fault, when people criticize you for your work and many more.The ways people become less victimized are;
