One of the most glaring differences between the rich and the poor in my Rich Habits Study was who the rich and the poor surrounded themselves with.
The self-made millionaires in my study built Rich Relationships – relationships with individuals who possessed Rich Traits, characterized by a positive mental outlook on life. Rich Relationships are typically upbeat, enthusiastic and success-minded individuals.
The poor in my study had a tendency to build relationships with other toxic people – individuals who shared a pessimistic, hopeless, negative-minded outlook.
Toxic people have certain Toxic Traits that act like a virus, infecting everyone around them. Becoming aware of these Toxic Traits helps you to avoid or rid yourself of negative influences which only serve to hold you back or drag you down in life.
Toxic Traits
- Negative Outlook
- Sarcastic

- Dependent Mindset

- Habitual Liars
- Untrustworthy
- Addicted to Something – Drugs, Gambling, Sex, Alcohol
- Excuse Finders

No one’s perfect. Even the rich in my Rich Habits Study possessed some of these Toxic Traits. The key is this: Does an individual have an abundance of these Toxic Traits?
If the answer is yes, then avoid them. Toxic people will hold you back and drag you down.
