How Millionaires Spend Their Friday Afternoons

The life of a millionaire is one that is privileged and, for most of us, we can only dream of the endless luxuries that they get to enjoy on a regular basis. Imagine driving the fastest cars, living in the biggest houses and wearing the very best clothes that money can buy. Of course, all of these luxuries are achieved through nothing but hard work and determination, but the results show how the wealthy can afford to live a life of uninterrupted opulence. How millionaires spend their Friday afternoons is another matter though, and when it comes to productivity, you could perhaps learn a thing or two.

THINKING AHEAD, Friday afternoons are, for most of us one of the most feel-good times of the week. The anticipation for the weekend gives us a natural high and the thought of getting out of the office and having two whole days to do as you please is certainly a blissful thought. Millionaires are meticulously organised though, and being expert planners they will be thinking way past the weekend, arranging their schedules for the following working week. While this may sound like a nightmare to you, it is this kind of forward planning that contributes to a wealthy person’s success, and knowing what they are going to do in advance gives them less things to worry about, thus increasing productivity.

PLANNING DOWNTIME, One of the many joys of being wealthy is, of course, being able to spend money without worrying. That could mean going to the cinema on a whim, purchasing an expensive gift for a loved one or perhaps even more extravagantly, planning a last minute trip abroad. Think about it for a second. Imagine how good it would be to have virtually every country on the planet at your disposal. Although they will be making sure everything is in check for the week ahead, millionaires take time out of their Friday afternoons to plan something for the weekend, as this allows them to unwind from their typically hectic schedules.

REFLECTING ON POSITIVES , Optimism is a trait that’s revered by some of the most successful people on the planet. After all, getting down in the dumps and thinking about the negatives of life will get you nowhere. When they get a quiet moment on a Friday afternoon, millionaires take time to reflect on what they have achieved that week, whether that be securing a new business investment or remembering how great that coffee was on Wednesday morning. The point is, no matter how big or small, it’s important to reflect on the positive things that happened to you during the week, as this will increase your happiness as well as improve your hunger to succeed further.

WORKING HARD, Of course, whilst a handful of millionaires will be enjoying their wealth in the sunshine somewhere in the Cote d’Azur on a Friday afternoon, the majority of them will be doing what they’ve been doing their whole lives; working. Wealth and success won’t just fall into your lap and for those who truly want to become a millionaire, you will have to work for it. After all, once you become rich, surely the goal is to maintain and possibly expand on your wealth, which can only be achieved through hard-graft.
