A self-made millionaire says these are the 4 things you should do once you achieve success

Almost everyone wants to be successful. Many consider it the ultimate goal in our personal and professional lives.

But what happens once we reach it?

Most people don’t think that far ahead, says Paul Scolardi, a self-made millionaire who has figured out how to continue thriving after achieving success.

Scolardi, who spent nearly two decades in corporate finance as a Certified Public Accountant, has been investing and trading in stocks for over 18 years (“I manage my own money in the stock market; I do not manage or touch other people’s money in any way,” he explains to Business Insider) and is now a financial educator through his company, Super-Trades LLC.

“I became a millionaire by trading my own money with the strategy I now teach,” he says. “My goal was always to be financially independent and to be my own boss. That is what I have achieved and that was my litmus test for success: financial independence, being my own boss, and being able to work from anywhere. I would say I have [considered myself successful] for about three years now.”  

From the moment he first felt like he had “made it,” Scolardi knew his work wasn’t done — he knew he had to keep going. That’s when (and why) he started his stock education business.

He says if you achieve your biggest goals and then lie back, put your feet up, and stop pushing yourself, “you become lost and directionless.” Instead, there are four things you should do as soon as you feel like you’ve achieved success. They are:

1. Stay humble.

Once you achieve success, fight the urge to get cocky and arrogant, he suggests. “That is what I did after becoming a millionaire the first time and I lost it all.” 

If you have that mindset, you could easily lose friends, family, and supporters — and the joy that often accompanies success will be ripped away in a second.
