Read With Avil Episode 2: Unveiling Rich Habits by Thomas Corley

Revisiting Rich Habits by Thomas Corley to explore actionable steps for success and leveling up financially.

Introduction

Hi there. My name is Avil Beckford, and this is Episode 2 of Read with Avil. Today, I’ll be talking about Rich Habits by Thomas Corley.

Recently, I watched a YouTube video featuring entrepreneur Dan Henry, where he spoke about four books that helped him make over $30 million. I had read two of those four books years ago, but unlike him, I hadn’t made millions. This made me pause and reflect. What I realized was that I wasn’t thinking or acting at the level of a millionaire.

I’ve always been good at applying knowledge from the books I read. However, the feedback from watching that video made me realize I needed to level up. If I want to make millions or profit from the books I read, I have to take things up several notches.

During my reflection, I remembered having read Rich Habits. I revisited my notes to see what new insights I could uncover and apply.

Key Takeaways from Rich Habits

1. The Importance of Habits

In Rich Habits, Corley emphasizes that success is built on daily habits. These habits define who we are and where we’ll end up. The book details several practices that distinguish wealthy individuals from those struggling financially. For example, the wealthy:

Tackle the most important tasks of the day.
Dedicate time to reading and self-improvement.
Cultivate meaningful relationships with people who uplift and inspire them.

These aren’t just fleeting activities but deliberate routines that create opportunities for growth and success.

2. Daily Routines for Success

Corley’s research shows that wealthy individuals are intentional about how they spend their time. The book outlines specific routines, including:

Exercising regularly for physical and mental health.
Setting clear goals and working on them consistently.
Keeping a journal to track progress and reflect on lessons learned.

These practices are a foundation for sustained success, emphasizing discipline and consistency.

3. Mindset and Positivity

One of the standout insights from Rich Habits is the role of mindset. Wealthy individuals focus on opportunities rather than dwelling on problems. They cultivate a positive outlook that fuels their motivation and helps them overcome challenges.

This aspect resonated with me, reminding me that shifting perspective is often the key to unlocking new possibilities.

4. Building Wealth through Smart Financial Practices

The book underscores the importance of financial discipline. Wealthy people live below their means, save a portion of their income, and invest wisely. These habits ensure they are not just earning money but growing it.

Reflection: Turning Knowledge into Action

Revisiting Rich Habits after watching Dan Henry’s video was a powerful reminder for me. It made me realize that understanding the principles in a book isn’t enough. What matters is how consistently you apply those principles in your daily life.

Thomas Corley’s work provides a blueprint for success. However, it’s up to each of us to take the steps. For me, this has been a journey of reflection, recalibration, and recommitment to the habits that align with my goals.

Practical Steps for Adopting Rich Habits

If you’re inspired to incorporate Rich Habits into your life, here are some practical steps to get started:

Audit Your Current Habits: Take stock of your daily routines. Are your current habits helping or hindering your progress?
Establish a Morning Routine: Start each day with intention. Incorporate activities like goal setting, reading, and exercise to set a positive tone.
Track Your Progress: Keep a journal to document your achievements and identify areas for improvement.
Invest in Relationships: Build connections with people who inspire and motivate you. Surround yourself with individuals who share your values and goals.
Practice Financial Discipline: Create a budget, set savings goals, and commit to living below your means.

Conclusion

Rich Habits by Thomas Corley is more than a book. It's a guide to transforming your life through deliberate, consistent action. Revisiting it has reminded me of the power of small, purposeful changes. By adopting these habits, you can all move closer to your goals and create lives filled with abundance and purpose.
