Whether or not you actually have rich friends, people who have attained monetary wealth generally share a few of the same character traits.
Amacama.com talks about 7 common ones you may already be aware of in this post, however it is the final point that I think is more important than people may realize.
PhilanthropyThis may seem the least valuable in the list, but if we think of this a little differently it may be the one you shouldn't miss.
Many rich people are also great philanthropists. They frequently make charitable donations intended to increase human well being. A great example is Bill Gates who set up his own charitable foundation aimed at providing lifesaving health care products for the poorest part of the world.
Take the idea of blogging, or writing in general. Working hard and being confident in yourself works and will make you more money. However, the only motivation in these traits is money.
If your goals in writing also include helping people and sharing knowledge [the cheap form of philanthropy], your motivations for writing great content will increase. It's no longer just about money, you really want your writing to affect people.
Not only does your output increase, but the quality improves also because you are no longer just writing for yourself.
