Have you ever dreamed to be a Millionaire?
What do you need to get this wealth? Are people completely different from us or not ?
Based on the answers to these questions, a market research group in China has interviewed over 5 years, from Chinese tycoons, the pioneers of internet in USA, stars of the Rock, Indian tycoons … In total, interviewed a dozen billionaires and several dozen people who have more than $ 100 million.
While almost all respondents said that the luck and the weather plays an important role in their success, they also found some other important similarities in their responses. Most of the truly rich, perhaps surprisingly, are not so different from us and as anyone have the same fears about their children and their health, and the same desires …. but with some differences.
Reducing the differences found three secrets they had actually helped the truly rich life.
The first secret of true wealth is never afraid to fail . Most respondents said that at one point had to choose to join a safe, easy way or take risk. To reach the real level of wealth, it takes a certain risk. If you seek security in a job or you’re afraid to try something different, do not go far in search of true wealth.
Even when they failed – and each of them had made ??at least once – the millionaires, said they had used those experiences to learn from their mistakes . Preventing the failure of a bad experience destroy their optimism and passion.
The second secret of true wealth is to see the problems creatively to find new sources of revenue . Respondents often spoke of how they viewed their problems from different angles and liked to go against the tide. Although the solution was not only see problems from the opposite perspective but also knew they always had to think critically in analyzing any problem.
An oil executive told how he had wanted for decades to make a better use of the pump. They were profitable , but felt there was wasted space. His solution? Place stores at gas stations so people could buy gas and snacks at the same time. At first it seemed somewhat stupid idea. ¿ Who would buy oil and coffee together? … .. today is difficult to find a gas station without a tent.
The third secret is to marry well … if married and has nothing to do with finding a millionaire couple , although this is not harmful by any means. Rather, most of the truly rich we spoke to said they have a good partner had been key to its success . Starting a business has a lot of sacrifices, stress can be a murderer and have a good partner for support can be crucial.
If being rich is good, very good but somewhat reflects the survey, the main secret that towers above the rest, is that the money is not everything . you never forget your family and health.
