Getting rich and becoming a millionaire may
seem like a fantasy, but it’s not so far-fetched.
There are a lot of key habits that millionaires
have that attribute to their success. We did a
little research on how millionaires live their
everyday lives and compiled a list for you.
Here are 10 signs you’re going to be a
millionaire, even if you don’t feel like you are.
1. You always shoot for the moon.
You know how the saying goes, “Shoot for the
moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land amongst the
stars.” If you’re the type of person to strive for an
A when you only need a B to pa$$ the cla$$, you
have the mindset of a millionaire. On a mission
to become rich, shoot for $10 million, not $1
million. Continue to think big.
2. You maintain an open mind.
You are not afraid of new ideas and know that
closed minds do not inspire faith, courage, belief
and active imagination. Successful millionaires
change their psychological approach to money,
success, and happiness.
3. You use your time to harness effective
results.
You understand that time is more valuable than
money itself. You are more likely to hire people
for things that you are not good at so you can
use your time on things that you excel in.[br][br]
Financially successful people are consumed by
their hunt for success and work to the point that
they feel they are winning and not just working.
4. You enjoy setting and reaching goals.
If you’re a chronic goal-setter, you think like a
millionaire. Peter Voogd, founder of the Game
Changers Academy, who made his first million
before turning 26 once said, “You don’t make a
million by accident. If it’s not a goal you sure as
hell won’t hit it."
5. You remain optimistic in the face of
adversity.
There are plenty of millionaires who have lived
the “from rags to riches” narrative, including
author J.K. Rowling. She was a single mother on
state benefits and attributes her achievements to
her ability to focus all her attention on the things
that mattered to her the most. Rich people
believe: “I create my life.” Poor people believe:
“Life happens to me."
6. You are aware of what’s going on in the
world.
If you are the type of person to start your
morning off catching up on current events rather
than the happenings on social media, you
possess a habit of a millionaire. Entrepreneurs
like Bill Gates and Warren Buff start their day off
with news publications such as The Wall Street
Journal and The New York Times.
7. Being poor makes no sense.
You eliminate any and all excuses that being
poor is justifiable. Bill Gates once said, “If you’re
born poor, it’s not your mistake. But if you die
poor, it is your mistake.”
8. You work with or seek a successful mentor.
You understand that it is important not to limit
yourself to ideas of unsuccessful people. You
study what millionaires do and consider a mentor
to be a vital resource to your success. Sixty-eight
percent of the 400 Americans on the Forbes 2013
Billionaires List are considered “self-made”
billionaires, meaning they did not inherit their
fortune. Chances are, a lot of them had mentors
to help them think outside of any possible limited
thought processes.
9. Avoid debt that doesn’t pay you.
Make it a rule that you never use debt that won’t
make you money. If you borrow money for a car,
it should be guaranteed to increase your income.
While the rich use debt to leverage investments
in order to grow cash flows, the poor use debt to
buy things that make rich people richer.
10. You save to invest.
You understand that the only reason to save
money is to invest it. Put your saved money into
secured and untouchable accounts. Never use
these accounts for anything, not even an
emergency. This will force you to continue to
increase your income. You believe in investing
your surpluses into ventures that you cannot
access.
