Top 9 signs you'll never be rich

Contrary to popular belief, "Everyone has the same opportunity to acquire wealth," says self-made millionaire Steve Siebold. But is wealth in the cards for you?
To help you evaluate that, we've rounded up nine red flags to watch out for. While no one can predict the future, the following choices most likely won't accelerate your path to riches.

You put too much emphasis on saving — and not enough on earning


Saving is crucial to building wealth, but you don't want to focus so much on saving that you start neglecting earning, which is what rich people focus on.

"The masses are so focused on clipping coupons and living frugally they miss major opportunities," Siebold writes.

There's no need to abandon practical saving strategies. However, if you want to start thinking like the rich, "Stop worrying about running out of money and focus on how to make more," Siebold advises.

Some experts say that "it's not about how much money you make, it's about how much you keep," but this shouldn't be an excuse to disregard earning completely. To keep money, you have to earn it in the first place. A common thread among millionaires is that they develop multiple streams of income and have smart savings habits.

HOW You Can Use Google Calendar to Coordinate Meetings?

A MAJOR CHALLENGE with any #worksquad is making sure you’re all available for meetings at the same time—especially if you’re working in various time zones. Google Calendar makes it a little easier. This tip requires everyone on your team to apply the same settings to their calendars, but it’ll ensure your meetings don’t fall prey to schedule dysfunction.

This tip does involve each person on your team making their calendar public—at least to other members of the team. This may feel like an invasion of privacy, but there’s a way to do it without broadcasting your every move.



How to Create a Shared Calendar in Google Calendar


Go to calendar.google.com and find the “My calendars” menu in the left column.

Click the box with the downward-pointing arrow next to “My calendars.” Select “Create new calendar” from the drop-down menu.

After you fill in a name and description for your calendar, you have several sharing options. You can make the calendar public and accessible via Google searches by checking the “Make this calendar public” box. If you do, it’s probably a good idea to also check the box next to “Share only my free/busy information” to keep your schedule details private.

Better yet, you can share the calendar only with certain people. Enter each email addresses in the “Share with specific people” field, and click the “Add person” button to add more invitees. You can also adjust the privacy settings for invitees with the “Permission settings” drop-down menu for each email address you invite.

That will create a shared calendar that your entire team can view and add to, but individual team members will likely have their own calendars. They’ll need to take a few extra steps for the best collaboration features.



How to Share Your Google Calendar With Others

To make your own calendar visible to the rest of the team, find the “My calendars” menu.
Click the box with the downward-pointing arrow next to your personal calendar. Select “Calendar settings” from the drop-down menu.
