5 Important Traits To Become A Millionaire From A Millionaire Trader

Most people arent millionaires, so if you want to become one, you have to do what most people dont. Few people know this better than Kunal Desai, the founder and CEO of Bulls on Wall Street. He decided to leave the corporate world behind in order to trade full time. He now teaches thousands of students how to trade and build their own wealth.

However, building wealth is about more than just having a good trading strategy. Whats more important is developing solid habits.

Here are five things Kunal teaches all of his students about becoming a millionaire:

1. Establish morning rituals

The first two hours of the day are the most important, and set the tone for the rest of the day. Your morning rituals should define when you get up, what you eat, how you exercise and more. As a trader, I also have a specific list of rituals that help me tune out the noise and focus on the information that’s most important.

Find a time to go to sleep where you wake up naturally each day without an alarm. No phone or computer time either. This is when you can really focus and get your heavy-duty work done. This is the time I think about big pictureprojects and get my creative work done since my energy levels are at their highest. Make sure to write your thoughts down.

“Your first ritual that you do during the day is the highest leveraged ritual, by far, because it has the effect of setting your mind, and setting the context, for the rest of your day.” – Eben Pagan

2. Constantly practice your craft

Mastery requires ten thousand hours of experience. The market is constantly in motion, and you must learn and adapt. There is no replacing screen time.  In trading you have to be able to see all the angles and compute numerous variables in a split second. You must condition your brain through deliberate practice to see all the angles in real time! No matter what business you are in, you always need to be practicing and striving to become the best in the world at what you do. Olympic athletes train for hours every single day to become the best at their sport. How many hours per day do you spend practicing your craft?

Many studies suggest that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become a master at anything. The faster you reach your 10,000 hours, the faster you will become you can become one of the most successful people in what you do. Spend as many hours as possible each day learning new ways to improve your craft and practice it over and over.

 

3. Stay fit

The relationship between physical health and mental acuity is strong. Eating healthy and exercising regularly will improve your mood, energy level, and decision-making. Many studies show that vigorous exercise can help treat depression as much as taking medication. Most of the successful businessmen I have met over the years and also the best traders are all fit. There are so many things in life you can’t control, but you can control your fitness. Start there and your brain will start to feel some amazing effects from it.

 

4. Find mentors

Self-study is important, but it will only take you so far. A good mentor will not only share his knowledge and experience, but also provide critical feedback from a place of objectivity. With social media it’s so easy to find people with knowledge in any field and just message them! I make a point to call one person a week who I think is successful and has a skill or talent I can learn from. Most elite performers have an elite coach; you should never stop learning if you want to improve.

 

5. Build your perfect day

To get to a million dollars there are dozens of processes and small steps that you take to get there. Thats why your focus needs to be on the process! For me I have my students build out their perfect day.  What are the steps and tasks you can do each day to winthe day. And I know if I can cross off all 10 tasks on my perfect day, I have won that day. And if I can do that each day I will hit my long term goals. Always focus on what you can control. Your attitude and your output. Build out what your perfect day is.

“The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.” – Malcolm X

Bridging the gap between employees and employers

In workplaces around the world, there’s a growing gap between employers and employees and between superiors and their teams. It’s a common refrain: “People don’t leave companies, they leave bad bosses.”

While there are, of course, cases where management could do better, this isn’t just a “bad boss” problem. The relationship between leaders and employees is complex. Instead of assigning blame, we should explore practical solutions to build stronger, healthier workplaces where everyone thrives.

Why This Gap Exists

Every workplace needs someone to guide, supervise, and provide feedback. That’s essential for productivity and performance. But because there are usually far more employees than managers, dissatisfaction, fair or not, spreads quickly.

What if, instead of focusing on blame, we focused on building trust, empathy, and communication? This is where modern leadership and human-centered management can make a difference.

Tools and Techniques to Bridge the Gap

Here are proven strategies leaders and employees can use to foster stronger relationships and create a workplace where people actually want to stay.

1. Practice Mutual Empathy

Both managers and employees need to recognize they are ultimately on the same team. Leaders have to balance people and performance, and often face intense pressure to hit targets. Employees who understand this reality are more likely to cooperate and problem-solve collaboratively.

2. Maintain Professional Boundaries

Superiors should separate personal issues from professional decision-making. Consistency, fairness, and integrity build trust, and trust is the foundation of a motivated team.

3. Follow the Golden Rule

Treat people how you would like to be treated. This simple principle encourages compassion and respect, two qualities every effective leader must demonstrate.

4. Avoid Micromanagement

Micromanaging stifles creativity and damages morale. Great leaders see themselves as partners, not just bosses, and treat their teams as collaborators working toward a shared goal.

5. Empower Employees to Grow

Empowerment means giving employees responsibility that matches their capacity, and then trusting them to deliver. Encourage them to take calculated risks, learn from mistakes, and problem-solve independently. If something goes wrong, turn it into a learning opportunity, not a reprimand.

6. Communicate in All Directions

Communication shouldn’t just be top-down. Invite feedback, create open channels for suggestions, and genuinely listen to what your people have to say. Healthy upward communication closes gaps before they become conflicts.

7. Overcome Insecurities

Many leaders secretly fear being outshone by younger, more tech-savvy employees. Instead of resisting, embrace the chance to learn from them. Humility earns respect and helps the team innovate faster.

8. Invest in Coaching and Mentorship

True leaders grow other leaders. Provide mentorship, career guidance, and stretch opportunities so employees can develop new skills. Leadership is learned through experience, but guided experience is even more powerful.

9. Eliminate Favoritism

Avoid cliques and office politics. Decisions should be based on facts and fairness, not gossip. Objective, transparent decision-making builds credibility.

10. Recognize Efforts Promptly

Recognition often matters more than rewards. Publicly appreciate employees’ contributions and do so consistently and fairly. A timely “thank you” can be more motivating than a quarterly bonus.

11. Conduct Thoughtful Exit Interviews

When employees leave, treat it as an opportunity to learn. Keep interviews confidential and use the insights to improve management practices and culture.

12. Provide Leadership Development

Train managers to lead, not just supervise. Leadership development programs help shift mindsets from “command and control” to “coach and empower.” This transformation has a direct impact on morale and retention.

13. Adopt Soft Leadership Principles

Today’s workforce, largely millennials and Gen Z, value collaboration over hierarchy. Soft leadership focuses on partnership, mutual respect, and shared purpose, rather than rigid top-down control.

The Bigger Picture: HR’s Role

Mercer’s global research highlights five key priorities for organizations:

  • Build diverse talent pipelines

  • Embrace flexible work models

  • Design compelling career paths

  • Simplify HR processes

  • Redefine the value HR brings

The challenge? Employers and employees often view these priorities differently. Bridging that perception gap is just as important as bridging the relational gap between leaders and staff.

Treat Employees Like Associates, Not Just Staff

When you treat employees like partners, they bring their best selves to work. HR leaders must develop strategies to keep talent engaged, empowered, and prepared for the future.

Organizational success starts with people, always. Build the relationship with your team first, and the results will follow.
