World leaders, business tycoons,
self-made billionaires -- it might seem like their biggest worry is
whether to take the helicopter or the jet, but it turns out that many of
the planet's most successful people make a habit out of worrying. Or
more to the point, they form habits to tone down their worries.
And unlike most people, powerhouses such as Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey and Jeffrey Bezos don't include money on their list of top worries. Check out what these 12 leaders spend their time stressing over and the habits they put in place to quell their worries. It might just help you develop a money-winning habit of your own.
1. Warren Buffett Worries About Not Reading Enough
With a net worth of about $70 billion, you'd think that one of the richest men on the planet would have a building full of people reading things for him. But it turns out Buffett credits much of his success to putting in the hard yards in the knowledge-gathering department himself.
At the Columbia University School of Business, when asked for the biggest key to success he could share, Buffett held up a tower of reports and trade publications and said, "Read 500 pages like this every day."
"That's how knowledge works," he said. "It builds up like compound interest. All of you can do it, but I guarantee not many of you will do it."
2. Nick Woodman Worries About Ignoring Passion
GoPro founder and young, maverick billionaire Nick Woodman knows a thing or two about following his passion. After all, the ubiquitous GoPro was created so Woodman could get better shots of himself and his friends surfing.
Perhaps that's why he ranks passion as a major
focus. "I feel like in a world where we all try to figure out our place
and our purpose here, your passions are one of your most obvious
guides," he told Forbes. Sounds like a license to hit the surf.
