DO MILLIONAIRE'S HAVE SIMILAR TRAITS?
|
|
MILLIONAIRES SEE A HALF-FULL GLASS.
|
There's no question about it -- millionaires accentuate the positive. Instead of a negative situation or a setback, they see an opportunity. This quality helps, of course, when the millionaire (or millionaire-to-be) hits a bad patch - instead of taking it as proof of failure, they'll hustle forward with a bright outlook.
"They bring a positive personal tempo to their business, and are uncritical of themselves when they make mistakes. Nothing really throws them," said James Gottfurcht, a psychologist, coach and speaker who is principal of Psychology of Money consultants, a Los Angeles-based group.
THEY SEIZE THE DAY. They'll take that same mistake-turned-opportunity - or any opportunity -- and step up to the plate. A millionaire in the making is someone who always takes action, said Brian Koslow, author of "365 Ways to Become A Millionaire (Without Being Born One)."
"Someone with a millionaire mindset is willing to explore opportunities," Koslow said. "Most people become paralyzed by the thought of taking action. The millionaire mindset is uncomfortable with inaction. Any self-made millionaire listens for opportunity. The average person listens for what's wrong and why something won't work."
Ask a millionaire when it's best to start a new project, and they'll tell you: right now.
They may not have every detail of their future mapped out, but they do have some sense of the steps ahead.
"These people have some sense in their minds of the steps they're going to take in life," said Gottfurcht. "Somewhere, they're programming."
