It's Not What You Think: What Are Millionaires Really Like?

You may be surprised.

One of the fastest ways to grow personally and professionally is to expose yourself to a new environment with people who are living an abundant life and taking bigger actions than you. That’s because all of the information you receive, consciously or subconsciously, goes into your programming, which determines your actions … and your actions determine your results. So, it’s important to be purposeful about which books you read, podcasts you listen to, and especially with whom you spend your time. It’s that simple: you begin to change by Thinking Differently and Thinking Big.

A few weeks ago, I had the great privilege of spending 4 days with 100+ Millionaires. Sometimes, those who have achieved significant wealth are stereotyped, not always in a positive way. But what really makes them the people they are? How do Millionaires operate?  Here are some of my personal observations about the Millionaires I met... and they probably aren’t what you expect.

• They don't complain; they persevere, seek answers, and implement solutions.

• They don't talk about people; they collaborate on ideas and the future.

• They don't talk too much; they listen closely, are naturally curious, and ask questions.

• They don't eat everything; they're careful what they put into their bodies - understanding it's the only one they've got.

• They don't wait; they get going and leave others behind when they don't show up.

• They don't go it alone; they seek others for their journey who share their vision.

• They don't stick their head in the sand; they feel an internal obligation to improve themselves, their community, and those around them.

• They don't accept information blindly; they validate via experts and are not afraid of confrontation - rather they thrive in it.

• They don't judge people, they judge their actions.

• They're not greedy; they share what they know and what they have with others who meet or exceed their standards.

• They don't forget; they take notes and reference back.

• They don't defer; they live life with urgency and take action.

• They don't stop learning; they have a voracious appetite for information.

• They don't compare themselves to others; they simply want to improve and design their own life.

• They have fear, and then they do it anyway.
