They were trying to find habits of highly successful people. There's people who are really rich who wake up really late and work really late. And there's people really rich who wake up really, really early. And there's people who are really rich who eat really healthy. And there's people really rich who drink Coca-Cola and eat French fries every day.
And so there's all these things that we want to make as truths, but they're easy examples that counter those things. So it's like what are the few things that are true or at least that seem to be present in all of the situations.
And so the three common traits that they had found were one that people have superiority complex. They believe they're better than others and they believe that they deserve more that everyone else does and that they can accomplish big goals.
The second thing that they would identify is that they had crippling insecurity and they feel they'll never be enough and they'll always be measured against the things that they've achieved.
And then the third piece which kind of adds the beautiful like mix of this is impulse control. And so they're able to control their actions and focus on a single thing for an extended period of time.
And so if you put those three things together, it's like you've got a big goal that's pulling you this way. You've got this big fear that you are running away from. And then you've got impulse control to keep you focused on the one thing that matters. If you are the type of person who who has those traits, then you are very likely to be successful.
