There are no Hyatt Entrepreneurial Genes, but there is a Hyatt Entrepreneurial Environment. In thinking through the elements of that environment I identified four that have a direct impact on building wealth.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Impulse control.<\/strong> The researchers found that one of the main contributors to why wealthy parents have wealthy kids was likely showing them to manage money, especially saving. When I saw that my mind immediately jumped to impulse control.\n<p>Saving money is all about impulse control. When Amy Chua and Jed Rubenfeld <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0143126350\/?tag=mhyatt-20\">tried summarizing<\/a> why some groups get ahead in life and others don\u2019t, they identified impulse control as a major factor. And it affects more than saving and investments. Impulse control is a major ingredient in goal attainment of any kind.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hustle.<\/strong> Another area impulse control matters is hard work. My daughters have always watched me hustle\u2014sometimes too much. I spent years putting everything I had into my work, to the detriment of my family and my health. A trip to the emergency room showed me how imbalanced I was. I immediately made several significant changes that not only kept me strong, but also strengthened my family.\n<p>I still hustle, but I\u2019ve learned how to stay focused on what really matters. And what encourages me most is that my daughters learned the same lesson. They\u2019ve all discovered how to work hard while taking care of their health and families.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Self improvement.<\/strong> Part of that learning, for them and me, is about self improvement. I got this from my dad. He taught me to stay focused on personal growth, and this has always been part of what drives me.<\/p>\n<p>This can get out of whack as well. But when it\u2019s balanced with life\u2019s priorities, it\u2019s a key ingredient for improving not only yourself, but also your circumstances. Constantly learning new strategies and approaches to self-discipline, work, productivity, finances, and so on, means making gains while others are content sitting still.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Gratitude.<\/strong> This has less to do with achievement and more to do with staying grounded. But there are <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelhyatt.com\/gratitude-advantage.html\">major benefits<\/a> from maintaining an attitude of gratitude. And gratitude offers a special set of <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelhyatt.com\/gratitude-advantage-at-work.html\">advantages at work<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that nothing holds people back like a sense of entitlement or <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelhyatt.com\/perceived-scarcity-outrageous-abundance.html\">perceived scarcity<\/a>. Once we past those traps, we start noticing opportunities and abundance that we otherwise miss.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t<aside class=\"tweetable tweetalign_center\" style=\"width:100%\">\n\t\t\t<blockquote>\n\t\t\t\tWealth isn\u2019t everything.
