How to Get Rich? Start with Self-Control

New Zealand scientists have given men around the world something more than just another theory about money. For 50 years, they observed 1,000 people and reached a groundbreaking conclusion: your path to financial success isn’t about luck, connections, or even extraordinary talent. It’s all about how well you can manage your emotions.

Who Gets Rich and Who Stays Poor?

The study found that men who, by the age of 30, already own homes, have investments, and enjoy financial stability, possess a high level of emotional intelligence (EQ). They:

• Acknowledge their mistakes and learn from them.
• Listen to others (not just themselves).
• Can control their emotions and behavior.

Here’s the bad news: low EQ holds you back. Men who struggle to understand their emotions and the feelings of others:

• Rarely learn from their mistakes.
• Are more likely to deal with debts and financial troubles.
• Find it hard to escape helplessness.

Developing EQ: Mission Possible

Don’t worry if you weren’t born a natural psychologist. The good news is that emotional intelligence can be developed. Here’s how:

1. Recognize your emotions. Identify what you’re feeling: anger, anxiety, joy? Don’t suppress them, but learn to manage them.
2. Listen to others. Words often hide emotions. Try to understand what the other person is truly saying.
3. Admit mistakes. It’s not weakness; it’s strength. A man who can say, “I was wrong,” is already ahead.
