		There is one thing that is common among successful and rich people 
		around the world—most of them know how to build upon their success and 
		add to their wealth. Like a force of nature, they are almost 
		unstoppable. However, there is hardly an overnight rags-to-riches story. 
		Some have a humble beginning, for example, Steve Jobs, or some are born 
		into money. But that does not mean they stop working hard after they 
		became successful. They work to make their empire even more powerful. To 
		do that people mostly follow some strategies that help them grow. So, 
		let's look at five such strategies that many successful people follow to 
		grow richer and powerful.
 Don't wait for the perfect job
 
 A lot of well-educated youths in India, also around the world, wait for 
		a perfect job without even realising how much time they are wasting 
		doing that. For successful people, time is money and they would never 
		waste time waiting for something that might or might not happen. So, 
		instead of waiting for the perfect job, you should invest your time to 
		learn new skills or do something which would take you nearer your goal.

		Learn to take calculated risks
 
 Now if you want to succeed in life, you should know how to take risks. 
		It's not just about risk, but it's about 'calculated' risk. Taking risks 
		to grow a business after weighing the pros and cons is the sign of a 
		smart person. Whereas taking unnecessary risks just for the sake of 
		growth can make a person fall flat on his face.

		Working just for money isn't enough
 American billionaire and business tycoon Warren Buffett had once said 
		that professionals should think about doing a job that would make them 
		happy if money isn't an issue. “You really want to think about what will 
		make you feel good,” said Buffett at the Berkshire Hathaway 2017 Annual 
		Shareholders Meeting. Successful people around the world know how to 
		prioritize their passion over money because when you do something you 
		love doing, you would never lose interest and will always be motivated 
		to work harder and better.

		Investment vs. savings
 No one in this world has become rich merely by saving money, right? To 
		grow your wealth you need to know where to make the right investment 
		rather than just letting your money rest in some bank account as 
		savings. Another useful strategy that will help you become richer is by 
		taking the help of financial advisers. All successful people take the 
		advice of financial experts when it comes to money.

		| Reading and growing your knowledge
 
 To be successful in life you need to have a very sharp brain and what 
		could be a better way to train your intellect than by reading? Elon 
		Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and one of the richest men in the world, reads 
		almost 500 pages daily and during his school time he used to read for 
		almost ten hours. Billionaire Warren Buffet is also an avid reader. 
		Reading helps you keep yourself updated about what is happening around 
		the world and that makes you a smarter person.
