7 Traits Millionaires Have in Common
1. Millionaires rise early, show up, and keep their promises. Hard work doesn’t scare them.
2. Millionaires invest time in motivational activities and personal development.
3. Millionaires keep a regular routine — one they know keeps on their “best game.”
4. Millionaires keep their heads and hearts point toward their destiny.
5. Millionaires see opportunity, not obstacles.
6. Millionaires know how to say “no,” to a negative influence.
7. Millionaires are people other folks want to do business with, or they could never have become millionaires. |
There is a huge difference between self-made millionaires (who are usually the type that work smarter, not necessarily harder) and those who become millionaire due to a lotto win. The latter group usually doesn't know how to manage that kind of money thus a good portion of them end up broke eventually.
I think the actual solution is simple rather than throwing a lot of phsychobabble about "integrating interior and exterior phycology" etc. A true millionaire would take that large cash win and invest it so as to preserve it and grow it. You live off the avails of what the principle earns, you do NOT reduce the principle by going on idiotic spending sprees and squandering it by giving people gifts, most of whom aren't your real friend nor do they appreciate your kindness but just think you should have given them more.
Win millions --- invest it. Use the interest to buy stuff but always put a little of it back into the investment to grow the principle (so that you make larger amounts of interest every year). There are so many great investment strategies out there that with some wise moves there's no reason to end up broke like some of these lotto winners do.
