10 Powerful Habits of The Ultra

Successful
Simon Somlai
Successful people are simply those with successful habits

Brian Tracy
We often run through life, envious of all the people who made it.
Not being able to recognize exactly why they are where they are in
life. Were confused as to what trickery or black magic these people
have applied in their life that has enabled them to rise to the top of
their industry. Unfortunately were never able to distill this special
ingredient or secret that has kept us in doubts for so long.
Eventually it can even drive us to the brink of insanity But Id say

were searching for the wrong things.. How so?

Whats the one thing that made him so much money?
Whats the one thing that allowed him to have so many friends?
Whats the single source of his great health?
Were primarily focused on certain events whilst almost every (if

not all) successful aspects we recognize in a person is the sum of
different processes. These processes are basically different habits
that have been built up over time which have compounded in the
results theyre experiencing in their life. I call this habit-stacking
Habit-what?
Habit stacking is the process of incrementally (meaning gradually)
2 of 21
implementing new, empowering habits in your day-to-day life.

These daily, high-leverage tasks will stack up over time which will
in turn improve what I call your success-level For illustrative
purposes, heres fancy infographic I made;
3 of 21
The quantity and quality of every success habit performed, will

define the altitude of your success-level. Ive seen this pattern
4 of 21
recurring in many different successful people Ive observed the past

years. People like Warren Buffet, Anthony Robbins, Elon Musk,
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Owen Cook and many more. The people
who obviously have their stuff together The stacking of these
habits creates an immense amount of control over their life and
therefore yields the compounding results they have acquired.
By analyzing and defining their different habits, Ive compiled a list
of what I believe are the 10 most potent habits to implement in
your life.
(Speed) Learning
Ive seen this habit recurring time and time again. The wealthiest
5 of 21
people of the world are avid learners. In an interview , Warren

Buffet and Bill Gates were asked if they could have one
superpower in the world, what would it be? They both argued that
being the worlds fastest reader would be HUGE Why is it so
effective?
Reading allows us to skip (partially) the process of trial and error by
simulating the future in our mind, based on the knowledge weve
acquired from other peoples mistakes. Why make your own when
you can learn so much from others?
It allows us to stand on the shoulders of giants by acquiring
information that enables us to avoid many failures.
How to start? Start by reading 15 pages every day (non-fiction)
Visualization
Often in life we harbor dis-empowering thoughts in our head;
6 of 21
Im not good enough

Im not good with women
I dont deserve to be rich
Im not able to lose any weight
These are all perfect examples of limiting beliefs that become

self-fulfilling prophecies and basically rob ourselves of everything
we want out of life. People are not limited to these perceptions and
are actually able to change these for the better (however, not many
realize they can do this) How you perceive yourself and your
surroundings literally sets the boundaries of your individual
accomplishment. It basically defines what you can and cannot do.
This is a social theorem defined by W.I Thomas and D.S. Thomas;
7 of 21
People react not only to the situations they are in, but also, and
often primarily, to the way they perceive the situations and to the
meaning they assign to these perceptions. Therefore, their
behavior is determined in part by their perception and the
meaning they ascribe to the situations they are in, rather than by
the situations themselves. Once people convince themselves that
a situation really has a certain meaning, regardless of whether it
actually does, they will take very real actions in consequence.
So what should I do? Improve your self-image and your image of
the world and likewise will your accomplishments grow to greater
heights. The way I do this is by writing down how I want to
perceive myself and visualize in detail how I will act in certain
situations. Repetition is key! Eventually it will become real. This
might sound like the black magic I referred to earlier, but it goes
much deeper than that. You could argue that this is yet another
pseudo-scientific trick to justify positive thinking but I personally
believe (from several experiences and observations) that this trick
works.

How to start? Read books like Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell

Maltz, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and As A Man
Thinketh by James Allen (FREE DOWNLOAD)
Exercise & Diet

Our body is probably the single most important investment we can
make in our life. And the only one were 100% convinced off that
were always going to need it. Yet I see so many people gulping
down fast-food, copious amounts of alcohol and neglecting any
form of exercise. Everything you operate needs maintenance from
time to time. You can compare your body to driving a car. If you
dont take care of your car, guess whats going to happen? Buy a
new one? Nope, game over buddy!
9 of 21
How to start? Make sure you get the recommended physical

activity every day (if you can do more, do so!). Do this first thing in
the morning and just get it over with. The consequences are far
more detrimental.
Goal Setting (In Writing)

Writing down your goals has been proven time and time again that
they can make a huge impact on your life altogether! A study about
goal setting at Harvard University in the book What They Dont
Teach You in the Harvard Business School by Mark
McCormack discovered the following truth about goal-setting and
performance;
Only three percent of the graduates had written goals and plans;
13 percent had goals, but they were not in writing; and a
whopping 84 percent had no specific goals at all. Ten years later,
the members of the class were interviewed again, and the
findings, while somewhat predictable, were nonetheless
10 of 21
astonishing. The 13 percent of the class who had goals were

earning, on average, twice as much as the 84 percent who had
no goals at all. And what about the three percent who had clear,
written goals? They were earning, on average, ten times as
much as the other 97 percent put together.
The truth is simply this; without goals you dont have any direction
in life and nothing really tangible to work towards. Result? You get
nowhere. Pretty obvious stuff, right?
How to start? Set some goals! Heres how I do it.
11 of 21
Planning & Prioritization

Do the most important things first. This is such a simple concept
talked about by many high-achievers. Ive read about this in The
One Thing by Gary Keller, The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective
People by Stephen Covey and Think And Grow Rich by
Napoleon Hill What they all basically say is that you should find
your one, most important focus for every single day (aligned with
the goals youve set out for yourself) and consequently annihilate
that goal in the morning until it is finished everything else is a
distraction. Simple, yet not easy.
12 of 21
How to start? Find your one, most important task for the day and
execute accordingly. Also set a time limit on these goals, so you
dont get stuck in saying things like; Im done at x hour or my
work gets done when its done. Limitations create urgency.
Urgency gets things done.
Money Management
Another big pillar in success is shifting from the consumer
mentality into the investor mentality. See your little dollars as
seeds. By spending your hard-earned money in a smart way youll
be able to grow your investments into bigger pay-offs over time
Dont buy ridiculously overpriced smartphones
Dont amass great amounts of debt
Dont live above your means
13 of 21
Basic stuff like that makes a huge difference over time.

How to start? Read some great books on financial beliefs and
money management like Rich Dad, Poor Dad By Robert T.
Kiyosaki, The Millionaire Fastlane by MJ Demarco and The
Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham.
Waking Up Early
Our time on earth is limited. With our

average life expectancy of 78.6 years (as of 2014) we spent 25
years of that sleeping! Tai Lopez (who became a self-made
millionaire in his 20s) says that we only have 50 000 valuable
14 of 21
hours to really dedicate to doing our greatest work. The rest of the
time is spend in disability, sickness, sleeping, old age, young age
and so-forth.
Imagine that I give you a check of $50 000 in the beginning of your
life, how scarcely would you spend those dollars?
How to start? Start waking-up an hour earlier everyday! Thats 365
hours extra a year which equals more than two weeks! What are
you waiting for? Tick-tock.
Build On Strength
Were all born with our unique sets of strengths and talents yet we
rarely develop those to our natural capacities. We fall into the trap
of believing the you can be anything you want fairy-tale that has
been fed to us by our surroundings. The truth (IMO) is this: We can
only perform optimally from strength. Talent and investment
serve as amplifiers for your achievement level. TALENT X
15 of 21
INVESTMENT = STRENGTH Investment can be self-generated

whilst raw talent is incredibly difficult to add.
While it may be possible, with a considerable amount of work, to
add talent where little exists, our research suggests that this may
not be the best use of your time Strengthsfinder 2.0 by Tom
Rath
My take on strengths is the following; Build your life on what youre
good at, but improve your weaknesses to the degree that they dont
hold you back.
How to start? A great way to get started and gain some priceless
self-knowledge is by taking the personality test at
16Personalities.com. I found the results disturbingly accurate yet
amazingly insightful.

Networking & Social Skills

Many successful people are not where they are solely because of
their many skills and talents (which they have) but because they
made themselves known to others. Ever heard the statement; Its
not about what you know, its about who you know? In terms of
success this certainly rings true. Mostly its not you that rises trough
the ranks by your own effort. People rise to success by others
lifting them up.
Additionally, by surrounding yourself with these high-achievers
your own performance level will be increased. This is because the
people we see regularly set the standard for what is appropriate
17 of 21
and therefore well adjust to that environment.

How to start? Read some books on basic social skills like How To
Win Friends And Influence People by Dale Carnegie and get some
great resources on networking! One website Id definitely
recommend is SmartBusinessRevolution.com by John Concoran
(he has a GREAT free ebook).
Character
And last but certainly not least important: Character! By setting for
ourselves a certain standard for acceptable behavior, were able to
connect with other people on a genuine level. Things like; being
honest, keeping secrets, having integrity, not cheating, not stealing
and so-forth. People automatically want to connect with the ones
who dont have hidden agendas and are pure of heart. Immorality
breaks relationships.
How to start? Write down for yourself a certain set of rules (a
18 of 21
code of conduct) you will live by that will lead to a successful life
(whatever that means to you). Be sure to include the essentials like
integrity, honesty, responsibility and so-forth. Read these values
when you get out of bed and live accordingly.
I know this can be a lot to take in and therefore I highly recommend
building up each habit until it has become a natural part of your
day-to-day routine. (dont take on more than one at a time two at
max) New research shows that the formation of a new habit can
take anywhere from 18 to 254 days (66 on average). So
consistency is key here. Start with small steps and slowly build
them up. Notice also that almost all the habits Ive mentioned above
are short-term sacrifices that will result in long-term benefits.
By overcoming forms of instant gratification like cheating,
watching tv, splurging money, binge-eating and whatnot we set
ourselves up for a great future. Delayed gratification is your ticket to
success! (Which doesnt mean youre not allowed to enjoy life
19 of 21
within reason
) Anyway, thats all I have to say on success
habits for today. I hope Ive been able to spike your curiosity to try
out a new habit (or improve the quality/quantity of an old one) So,
that leaves me with just one more question;
What other success-habits do you know?
Thanks for taking the time to read my post! I really appreciate it.

Take care, Simon
