**Title:** "Habits of the Rich" (part of "The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind" series)
**Key Takeaways:**
1. **Don't limit your earnings**: Rich people prefer payment based on results (e.g., commissions, percentages) rather than fixed salaries.
2. **Working hard isn't enough**: Merely working hard won't make you rich; making your money work hard for you is crucial.
3. **Path to wealth**: Accumulate wealth by either starting your own business or investing your money (moving to the "right side" of the Money Flow Quadrant).
4. **Focus on net worth**: Not just income, but also track your net worth (assets - liabilities) and aim to increase it.
5. **Components of net worth**: Income, Savings, Investments, and Simplification (living with less financial burden).
**Actionable Exercises:**
1. Calculate your current net worth.
2. Focus on increasing income, savings, and asset returns, while reducing expenses.
3. If employed, negotiate a variable component to your salary; if a business owner, offer bonuses to employees.
4. Shift focus from active to passive income (e.g., investments, asset-generated income).
