SMART AND SIMPLE MOVES YOU CAN TAKE TO BECOME FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT
If you want to know how to become financially independent, then the smart and simple moves in this post will help you do just that. But before we dive into those steps, let’s first cover exactly what becoming financially independent means.
In a nutshell, financial independence ultimately means to be able to live from the income produced from your own personal resources.
In other words, getting to a point financially, where you no longer have to trade your time and effort for the money you need to sustain your day-to-day activities.
If that sounds like the financial independence you’re looking for, then keep reading, because I’ve found a good map. A money map!
The Money MAP
I first learned about becoming financially independent from a book I read on how to become rich years ago.
The premise of that book helped me finally connect the dots on what my geography professors kept yapping about years before when I was still in college.
I had a few professors who would always say….
“It’s all about real estate, It’s all about real estate.”
Every time I’d ask why …. They’d respond…
“Because they’re not making any more of it.”
Eventually, I took the phrase to heart.
It took me a few short years droning along in a cubicle before I would act on the insight. But, I eventually did. I kicked that cubicle job to the curb and dived into the real estate industry to become a real estate agent! After all, my professors did say… “It’s all about Real Estate”.
But, it was a misguided move. What I didn’t understand, was that real money is not made in helping people sell their real estate, no no no no.
The real money is made in the buying and selling of your own real estate. (Sure, some can make good money selling real estate, but it’s not where the wealth is at, and it’s not how you become financially independent.)
Oddly, this is a mistake many people make, but never learn from.
Fortunately for me, the pain of losing money and becoming less and less financially independent forced me to open my eyes.
Unfortunately, many people make just enough money to keep to their grind for years, maybe even decades, before realizing they’ve been on a hamster wheel all along. This happens for agents as well as people working a regular 9-5 all the time. They think that just because they are making money, they are making progress towards early retirement or financial independence.
I lost thousands and thousands of dollars trying to make moves chasing the “big” money as an agent. You could say they were bad moves, but, in reality they were a blessing, because it helped me finally see the light.
It helped me truly learn what moves it really takes to earn financial independence.
And guess what? That’s exactly what I want to share with you, my map. I am going to share what I learned. Why? Because, freedom is better when it can be enjoyed with others.
So here we go, here are a few simple moves you could start making today, to inch you towards becoming financially independent:
HOW TO BECOME FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT
1. Invest in Real Estate
Once I realized riches come from being an owner of real estate, not a peddler of it, I did all I could to put my hard-earned money away.
I stashed away money as fast as I could, till I could make a real investment in real estate. To accelerate my acquisition of real estate I followed the 70-30 rule. This is what it looks like:
70 % of my income went to living expenses and fun.
30 % went towards saving to invest in real estate.
By following this rule, I was able to make serious progress on my investment goal, while still having some money left over to enjoy my life.
However, if you’re uber-ambitious and willing to work hard, a better savings strategy would look more like this:
40% living expenses (fun is put on hold till your real estate investment goal is reached).
60% towards investment goals.
Once invested in Real Estate, you can switch back to the 70-30 rule.
This is the plan I followed for 3 to 4 years to pay off all my debt, and then started stashing away all my extra money for a down payment. Once I had enough for my down payment, I went into predator mode. I become a stalker of real estate.
I sat and watched the market, and waited for just the right time to buy my own little piece of property.
So, once you acquire the means to pull the trigger on your own investment property, be ready, but not over eager to invest.
2. Don’t Just Invest to Invest, Invest Smart
But don’t just invest to invest, seek to invest smart. If you just buy a piece of property for the sake of owning it, you may accidentally throw away all your hard-earned money.
While saving much of my money, it dawned on me, that so many people were actually losing money in the real estate downturn that was happening at the time.
I didn’t want to become a statistic, so I read a few more books on real estate and got acquainted with market swings and economic cycles.
Understanding a little bit of economics is something you need to do if you ever intend to become financially independent.
Thanks to the research I did, it didn’t take long to realize what makes a piece of property a good deal and what makes one a bad deal.
So, I made up my mind to invest smart, and you should too. Buying smart means resisting the urge to jump in and buy any piece of new real estate that comes onto the market just because you can.
Buying smart also means learning how to spot value when you see it. It means buying low, in an area where property values are historically high.
3. Know When to Sell
After making an initial investment, a day will come when you’ll want to sell. It’s when you sell, that you’ll be able to reap your avalanche of financial success. The money you earn from selling will add to you net-worth and give you extra capital to make bigger and better future investments.
To figure out when the best time to sell is, you must become a student of history. You’ll need to learn that the markets rise and drop in cycles that span a few days, a few months, and a few years.
The more time that passes between each up-turn and down-turn of these cycles, the higher the stakes are for gains and loss.
After sitting on my investment for a few years, I decided to sell. I bought low, and I intended to sell high.
Now, they say timing markets is a crap shoot, but if you pay attention and use your intuition, you can tell when an investment is close to reaching its optimum price point (at least in the short term). For me, the potential for triple digit returns was enough to help me make up my mind to sell.
Some people would choose to hold in such a scenario, aiming for an even stronger return. But, it’s up to you. The longer you hold, the more you can make. But on the flipside, the higher the stakes become that the market can also turn, and not in your favor. Now, as an investor in real estate, you’ll want to maximize what you get out of the sale. To do this, you need to make up your mind that you won’t just use any agent for the job.
4. Know ‘Who to Use’ to Sell
If you want to keep more of your hard-earned money, you must do your homework on who is going to sell your assets. Due diligence is essential for safeguarding money.
Here is the best way you do this with real estate. Find the best agent that is most likely to get you the most money from the sale of your property. The key word is “you find”.
You don’t simply rely on an agent your friend or relative suggested. That’s what everyone else is doing, and it will get you what everyone else is getting; Average returns on the sale of their property, instead of maximum returns.
Here is what you should do:
Spend some time analyzing the sales data for the top 20 agents who are making sales in your area. Create a spreadsheet and analyze how many sales each agent has made.
Then, if the information is available to you (some states don’t publish such info freely, like Texas), collect the sales price and the original list price that each agent sold their last few homes for. You can find this from Zillow.com
Then, analyze the list to sales price ratio to see which agents are selling houses closer to the list price. You’ll also want to analyze the length of time it took each agent to sell the property they had listed, the shorter the time-frame, the better.The result of this homework will lead you to the agent that is selling homes closer to their list price, in the shortest amount of time. Finding such an agent will help you keep more of your proceeds on the sale of your home.
No, this is not a guaranteed approach, but, it worked very well for me.
5. Secure Your Money, But Make it Grow
Earning lots of money is never the end of the story. Once you have money, the next challenge is figuring out how to keep it all.
All too often people earn a killing, but either spend it all or lose it all. So please, do not spend your proceeds on “things” that won’t bring money back to you. You can’t become financially independent without your money working for you.
Now, if you want to keep your hard-earned money, you must find a way to secure it.
Here is one simple way to ensure your money continues to earn you more money over time, with minimized risk of loss.
Quick disclaimer: there is always a risk of loss with investing. Hopefully you know that. There’s even a risk of loss with savings accounts, it’s low, but the risk is still there.
To secure your assets in a way that will help you safely become financially independent, all you need to do, is divide your investment money in the following ways:
Real Estate Investments at 33.3%
Stocks or ETFs 33.3%
Bonds at 33.3%
Simple, safe, smart.
6. Invest in Digital Real Estate
After gaining a few wins in the game of real estate, it dawned on me, that the internet is a form of real estate too.
The internet has similar qualities as the real estate we buy in the real world.
Much like actual real estate, where there is only a finite amount of space, the internet is finite to the degree that there are users giving existing websites their attention.
Real Estate that is beautiful, unique, or allows for more convenience to people due to its proximity to places people want or need, makes it more valuable, and more valuable real estate always demands a higher price.
And just like real estate, websites that create content or experiences that add value to visitors, attract returning visitors. And the more visitors a site gets, the more valuable the site becomes.
The great thing about the internet, is that it always makes room for those who can create the best user experience for others.
Growth of Internet Users from 1990 to Present

At the moment, there are roughly 3.2 billion people across the world using the internet, and this number is only going to increase. The people and companies that are already set up and in the game, will have the advantage when it comes to winning the attention and loyalty of online users. And in case you didn’t know….
Attention = Money
Remember this, with physical real estate you are limited by the amount of capital you have available to invest, but with digital real estate, you can literally create the best and most valuable asset with a little effort and a pinch of innovation.
If you’ve got drive and staying power you should invest in digital real estate, because it is one of the smartest moves you can make to become financially independent.
7. Build Perennial Income
Perennial income is income that is permanent, constant, and continually reoccurring. And one of the simplest low-cost ways to add perennial income to your financial game plan, is by publishing either a book or an ebook.
When you create a book, you are creating an asset. So long as it’s a book that adds value to others, and people are willing to buy it, it can become a money-making tool all on its own.
And it’s super simple to do. I said, simple, not easy. But, it’s an option that can open another stream of income for you with a little effort and focus. With every stream of income you get flowing into your bank account, the closer you get to becoming financially independent.
8. Begin Dividend Growth Investing
Becoming financially independent can be accelerated with this simple financial move. It is a financial move that is extremely accessible, and all it requires is for you to intelligently place your money into companies that pay you monthly or quarterly for you to house your money. This approach is known as dividend growth investing.
With this simple strategy, all you do is buy stocks that pay you back in the form of dividends and have been growing those dividends for a significant number of years in the past. Dividend growth investing is all about setting aside some of your money today for an income stream that will continue growing and paying you well into the future. Joseph Carson explains this concept extremely well in this video, watch it here.

After just nine months at the helm of his own ship, he was bringing in over $35 per month. Five months later he was at $45K per month.

STEVEN SPIELBERG’S NET WORTH
Steven Spielberg is without question one of the most successful filmmakers of all-time. He’s directed some of the most well-known and awe-inspiring films in history, including classics like ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’, ‘Jaws’, ‘Schindler’s List’, ‘E.T’, and ‘Saving Private Ryan’ just to name a few. Spielberg is a moving-making powerhouse, having directed over 34 hit films, and winning three academy awards, he’s managed to build for himself an impressive and sizeable fortune. So, that’s exactly what this page aims to highlight, Steven Spielberg’s net worth, and his estimated annual earning power.
What Is Steven Spielberg’s Net Worth?
Steven Spielberg’s net worth in 2017 according to Forbes was approximately $3.7 billion. With over $200 million of his net worth tied up in real estate these days, the bulk of his fortune is most likely in assets that have grown at the average annual growth rate of the markets between 7 and 12%.[1]
As such, Steven’s Spielberg’s net worth in 2025 is estimated at approximately $7 billion.
How Much Does Steven Spielberg Make?
Having netted $360 million from Jurassic Park, which grossed $1.03 billion, we can estimate his cut from movies to be at around 35%. Of course this is just an estimate, but if it’s accurate, it mean’s Spielberg has earned at least $3.7 billion from his movies over the past 51 years.
Having grossed over $10 billion for his existing productions, he’s managed to keep a good chunk of this money for himself.
That said, according to Parade, Steven Spielberg’s average annual income is around $150 million per year.[2] But, we couldn’t confirm how they got that number.
So, here is our own baseline income for Steven Spielberg based on the earning power of his net worth alone. To get this number, Spielberg would first need to move all of $7 billion net worth into an income generating asset (like REITS or Dividend Stocks). Then we must infer that Spielberg is a savvy enough investor to earn at least a 4% dividend payout on his fortune, which is doable considering 3 to 5% is the historical average payout for conservative assets.

Thus, Steven Spielberg’s baseline annual income would easily translate into $280 million per year. Not bad for never having to lift a finger again to earn himself a buck.
Here’s a further breakdown of these numbers:

WILL SMITH’S NET WORTH AND HOW HE GOT SO RICH
Will Smith hardly needs an introduction, considering he is a world-renowned actor, producer, rapper, and songwriter, who has received dozens of awards and nominations for bringing us blockbuster hits like ‘I am Legend’, ‘Ali’, ‘Men in Black’, and ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’, amongst many others. Without a doubt, he is no stranger to success or the press. Will Smith has truly made an indelible mark in the entertainment industry. But, with such productivity and blockbuster success, comes wealth. And that’s what this article is all about, Will Smith’s Net Worth, and some of the financial wins he’s had along the way that have helped him secure so much money.
What is Will Smith’s Net Worth?
So what is Will Smith’s net worth? Well, according to various net worth sources on the net, his net worth is approximately $350 million. However, those figures are outdated as they’ve haven’t changed since 2020. Of course assets don’t remain stagnant, so we’ve recalculated Will smith’s net worth.
As such, per our research and analysis, along with our asset recalculation methodology, Will Smith’s Net Worth as of 2025 is now estimated at $390 million.[1] It is estimated that $100 million of his net worth is tied up in the Real Estate he owns around the world.
So, he’s not a billionaire yet, but, with the right investments and a handful of additional projects on the silver screen he may just get there within the next decade or so.
How Much Does Will Smith Make?
According to Forbes [2], despite the pandemic in 2020-2021, Will Smith managed to earn $44.5 million. Of course, this is only an estimate, but he likely earned a similar amount in 2023.
That said, Will Smith’s 2025 earnings are still ongoing, especially considering he is constantly creating project after project. But, 2025 is looking like a pretty big year for Smith, with the release of his updated Bad Boys movie, ‘Bad Boys – Ride or Die’, which grossed over $400 million at the box office across the globe.
However, even without these figures, we still plan on providing you with how much money, hypothetically speaking, Will Smith makes a year from his net worth alone.
These money metrics will be based off Will Smith’s known net worth of $390 million. So, if you’ve ever wondered how much Will Smith makes per day, month, or even a year, this metric we are providing below will give you a conservative (and very possible) estimate.
To get to this number, we will have to presume Will Smith’s investing acumen is on par with an average investor. In other words, capable enough to earn an annual 4% yield on his combined $390 million fortune (Note: 4% is an extremely reasonable return to expect, especially considering historical returns on safe investments have typically fallen between the 3% to 5% range [3]).
With that said here is what we came up with. I Will Smith hypothetically liquidated all of his assets and invested them into a handful of stocks or REITS that yielded at the very least a conservative 4% dividend yield, he could easily be earning himself a cool $15.6 million a year to do absolutely nothing.
Will Smith’s Money Metrics
Money Metric | Amount |
---|---|
Net Worth: | $390,000,000 |
**Earnings Per Year: | $15,600,000 |
Per Month: | $1,300,000 |
Per Week: | $ 300,000 |
Per Day: | $42,857 |
Per Hour: | $1,785 |
Per Min: | $29.7 |
Per Sec: | $.49 |
Note: this is a hypothetical (but very possible) earnings Metric based off the earning power of Will Smith’s net worth’s alone. It does not include how much he potentially earns from his current projects, sponsorships, business revenue, or social media, etc. Again, this calculation is for entertainment purposes only. Methodology

However, he likely earns much more on other platforms he is on as he has 65.7 million fans on Instagram, 9.8 million subscribers on YouTube, and 116.5 million on Facebook.
This means Will Smith’s total social media reach is approximately 265.9 million. Which really means, for all intents and purposes, that his earning power per social media post is roughly $2.5 million dollars accordingly to current social media marketing prices.

10 PROVEN HABITS OF SELF-MADE MILLIONAIRES TO BUILD WEALTH
From sleeping in their cars to building billion-dollar empires, self-made millionaires like John Paul DeJoria and Oprah Winfrey prove that wealth isn’t just about luck—it’s about habits. These individuals didn’t inherit their fortunes; they built them through discipline, strategy, and a relentless drive to succeed. At The STRIVE, we’re dedicated to helping dreamers like you turn ambition into action.
That’s why we’ve compiled this list of 10 proven habits of self-made millionaires to help you build wealth in 2025 and beyond. Whether you’re starting from scratch or aiming to level up, these habits are practical, time-tested, and accessible to anyone willing to put in the work. Ready to ignite your financial success? Let’s dive into the millionaire mindset and uncover the habits that can transform your future.
1. Set Clear, Daily Goals
Self-made millionaires don’t wander aimlessly—they plan their success. Elon Musk, for instance, is known for breaking down massive goals (like colonizing Mars) into daily tasks. This habit keeps them focused and productive.
How to Apply It: Start each day by writing down 3–5 specific, actionable goals. Use tools like The STRIVE Journal to track progress and stay accountable. For example, set a goal to save $100 this week or read one chapter of a finance book. Over time, these small wins compound into massive results.
Why It Works: Daily goals create clarity and momentum, aligning your actions with your long-term vision of financial freedom.
2. Commit to Continuous Learning
Warren Buffett, one of the world’s richest self-made billionaires, spends hours daily reading—up to 500 pages! Millionaires know that knowledge is power, especially in a fast-changing world like 2025’s economy.
How to Apply It: Dedicate 30–60 minutes daily to learning. Read books like Rich Dad Poor Dad (a favorite on The STRIVE’s book recommendation list), listen to podcasts like The Millionaire Mindset, or take online courses on platforms like Coursera. Stay updated on market trends, investments, or skills relevant to your industry.
Here’s Why It Works: Continuous learning sharpens your skills and uncovers new opportunities, giving you an edge in wealth-building.
3. Network Strategically
Daymond John, the Shark Tank star and FUBU founder, credits his success to building relationships with the right people. Millionaires don’t just network—they connect with mentors, peers, and influencers who push them forward.
How to Apply It: Attend industry events, join online communities (like LinkedIn groups), or reach out to someone you admire with a thoughtful message. For inspiration, read about John Paul DeJoria’s journey on The STRIVE—he built his empire through strategic partnerships.
Why It Works: A strong network opens doors to opportunities, from business deals to mentorship, that accelerate wealth creation.
4. Invest Early and Consistently
Self-made millionaires like Barbara Corcoran built wealth by investing early, even with small amounts. Whether it’s real estate, stocks, or their own businesses, they let compound interest work its magic.
How to Apply It: Start investing now, no matter how small. Open a low-cost brokerage account, contribute to a 401(k), or explore real estate crowdfunding. Aim to invest at least 10–15% of your income consistently. Check out our personal finance tips for budgeting strategies to free up cash for investments.
Here’s Why It Works: Early investments grow exponentially over time, turning modest savings into substantial wealth.
5. Embrace Failure
Steve Harvey, whose success story we’ve covered at The STRIVE, faced countless rejections before becoming a household name. Millionaires view failure as feedback, not a dead end.
How to Apply It: Reframe setbacks as learning opportunities. If a business idea flops, analyze what went wrong and adjust. Keep a “failure journal” to document lessons learned and how you’ll improve. This mindset builds resilience, a key trait for financial success.
Why It Works: Embracing failure fuels persistence, helping you overcome obstacles on the path to wealth.

6. Master Time Management
Time is a millionaire’s most valuable asset. People like Jeff Bezos prioritize high-impact tasks and eliminate distractions to maximize productivity.
How to Apply It: Use the 80/20 rule (Pareto Principle) to focus on the 20% of tasks that drive 80% of your results. Try time-blocking: allocate specific hours for work, learning, and personal growth. Apps like Notion or Trello can help you stay organized.
Reasoning: Effective time management ensures you’re working smarter, not just harder, to achieve your financial goals.
7. Cultivate Discipline
Discipline separates dreamers from doers. Self-made millionaires like Oprah Winfrey stick to routines, even when motivation fades. Whether it’s waking up early or sticking to a budget, discipline drives results.
How to Apply It: Create a daily routine that aligns with your goals. For example, wake up at 6 AM to exercise, plan your day, and review your finances. Use our motivational quotes for a daily dose of inspiration to stay on track.
Why It Works: Discipline builds consistency, turning habits into long-term wealth-building behaviors.
8. Diversify Income Streams
Millionaires rarely rely on a single income source. Kevin O’Leary, for example, invests in businesses, real estate, and media ventures to spread risk and grow wealth.
How to Apply It: Explore side hustles like freelancing, e-commerce, or content creation. If you’re new to this, start small—sell a skill on Upwork or launch a blog inspired by The STRIVE’s entrepreneurship tips. Reinvest profits into new ventures.
Why It Works: Multiple income streams provide financial security and accelerate wealth accumulation.
9. Practice Mindfulness and Mental Health
Arianna Huffington, founder of The Huffington Post, emphasizes mindfulness as a key to success. Millionaires prioritize mental clarity to make sound decisions and stay focused.
How to Apply It: Incorporate mindfulness practices like meditation or journaling into your routine. Apps like Headspace or a simple gratitude journal can reduce stress and boost focus. Reflect on your “why” to stay motivated, as we discuss in our personal growth articles.
Reasoning: A clear mind enhances decision-making, helping you navigate financial challenges with confidence.
10. Give Back to Build Forward
Self-made millionaires like Andrew Carnegie, whose quotes inspire us at The STRIVE, believed in giving back. Philanthropy not only creates impact but also builds networks and personal fulfillment.
How to Apply It: Donate time, skills, or money to causes you care about. Volunteer at a local nonprofit or mentor someone starting their journey. Even small acts, like sharing knowledge, can create ripple effects.
Why It Works: Giving back fosters goodwill, strengthens your reputation, and attracts opportunities that align with your values.
Your Roadmap to Wealth in 2025
Building wealth isn’t about overnight success—it’s about adopting the habits of those who’ve already made it. From setting daily goals to giving back, these 10 habits of self-made millionaires are your blueprint for financial success in 2025.

KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOV NET WORTH + HOW MUCH HE MAKES
Khabib Nurmagomedov has an estimated net worth of $45 million. Which is an impressive amount of money, even for a world renowned Russian mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter.
Of course, some may argue that because Khabib is currently the longest-reigning UFC Lightweight Champion, who has legions of UFC fans who believe is the greatest fighter in UFC history, that his fortunes should be even larger. Many sources also have him listed as the best pound-per-pound fighter across all weight classes. And with achievements like this, riches and a large net worth are well deserved.
What is Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Net Worth?
So, if you’re looking for even more insight on Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Net Worth, you’ll find it here. That said, there other some unofficial sources that claim Nurmagomedov’s net worth to be around $100 million. And then there’s a few $40 million estimates by a handful of solid sources, including one that Celebrity Net Worth placed on his net worth back in late 2020.[1]
However, it’s important to know that we calculated the data drawn from various public sources in conjunction with the performance of the markets and the various known asset classes he’s invested in. So, our research and analysis is up-to-date. Which is why we’ve listed Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Net Worth as of 2024 at roughly $45 million.
How Much Does Khabib Nurmagomedov Make?
Most people want to know what Khabib is doing these days to make money, and how much he makes a year. So, we’ll attempt to answer the question.
That said, establishing Nurmagomedov’s 2024 earnings is even more challenging then establishing his net worth, especially since he retired in 2020. However, for the year of 2020 he was the highest paid UFC fighter, bringing in $6.09 million.[2] This amount doesn’t include money he earned from sponsorships, speaking gigs, or his other business dealings.
With that said, just because we can’t decipher how much Khabib Nurmagomedov officially makes these days, doesn’t mean we can’t estimate how much could likely make if he relied on the earning power of his net worth alone.
So, here’s how much he could make if he decided to pay himself from the earning power of his entire net worth. Assuming Nurmagomedov decided to take his entire $45 million nest egg and invest it into a handful of investments yielding a combined 4.5% dividend payout (between 3 -5 % is consider to be average yield on stable investments), his annual earnings could be $2.02 million. This comes out to around $169,000 a month, which is not a bad income for early retirement.
Khabib Nurmagomedov Money Metrics
Money Metric | Amount |
---|---|
Net Worth: | $45,000,000 |
**Earnings Per Year: | $2,025,000 |
Per Month: | $168,750 |
Per Week: | $38,942 |
Per Day: | $5,563 |
Per Hour: | $231.8 |
Per Min: | $3.86 |
Per Sec: | $0.06 |
Note: this is a hypothetical (but very possible) earnings Metric for Khabib Nurmagomedov based off of his net worth’s earning power alone. It does not include his earnings from ongoing projects, sponsorships, social media, etc. This calculation is for entertainment purposes only. Methodology
Fun Facts:
- Khabib’s Social Media Followers: Khabib Nurmagomedov has managed to pull in massive amount of social media followers over the years. And according to one source, he managed to earn over $570,000 from just one of his social media platforms when it was only half the size it is now.[3] In short, his social media platforms likely have the ability to earn him much more today.
- So, how many social media followers does Khabib have? At the time of this article’s publication, he has approximately 42.59 million combined social media followers.
- Khabib The Bear Wrestler: When Khabib was younger, his father would have him wrestler young bears as a method to improve his strength and confidence.
- He Wasn’t Always a Winner: Before Khabib would hit his stride to go undefeated in the UFC, he did his fair share of losing. In fact, when he was in his early teens, he would regularly come in 5th and 6th place when he competed in local and regional competitions.
- Khabib Pays Taxes Too: Khabib once had his assets seized due to taxes owed; however, he eventually paid his tax debt to the tune of over $3 million to his countries tax collectors.
How Did Khabib Nurmagomedov Become So Successful?
Khabib Nurmagomedov has managed to build his large net worth primarily due to his performance in the Octagon. He’s managed to also make quite a bit of money outside of the ring, but hands down, his bread and butter has been his fighting prowess.
So, how did he become so successful? Well, he decided to become the best fighter and the world, and committed to doing everything that was necessary to out perform his opponents in the ring. He mastered multiple fighting styles (wrestling, sambo, judo, etc.), and trained like his life depended on it.
After studying a handful of his best quotes on success, and closely observing his career and his success journey, we can confidently say that the traits most responsible for Nurmagomedov’s success comes down to the following: Self-Discipline, Faith, Ambition.
But don’t just take our word for it, see for yourself:
1. “I train, eat, sleep, and repeat.” – Khabib Nurmagomedov
2. “When Allah is with you, nobody can beat you, nobody. You have to believe this.” – Khabib Nurmagomedov
3. “I was always striving for more. I thought to myself, “If I want to be the best in the world, it was not enough to train more than anyone in my city or Russia. I knew that somewhere on the other side of the world, in Brazil, Australia, or Ireland – there was people who trained. And we might face each other on the biggest stage sometime.”
The result? The greatest light weight UFC fighting history.
