THE ENTREPRENEUR CODE

However, for the world’s most successful people, 10% isn’t good

enough. They put away more than 10% and they make sure that if

a financial opportunity comes along, they have the money to take

advantage of it. Plus, they have an emergency cushion if anything

happens.

Habit 29: They keep their credit history pristine

You will also find that these success stories have amazing credit.

While this might seem obvious, since they are rich and never

have to worry about missing payments, the truth is that they have

had those pristine credit histories most of their lives. Successful

people know the value of having good credit, and they work hard

to make sure that theirs stays as clean as possible, in case a

financial opportunity comes along that they want to take

advantage of.

Habit 30: They know the value of good help

In addition, you will find that successful people don’t mind

spending money when it is going to get them something valuable

in return. They hire talented and highly skilled people and pay

them what they are worth. Successful people know that having

good help is worth the extra money that they’ll spend, and many

of the teams that they have put together have helped to vault

them to the success that they enjoy today.
