The 30 major characteristics millionaires believe are important in order to become a millionaire (sample actually taken from 755 millionaires)

This list is fascinating to say the least.

I already knew many of these characteristics but i had no idea they were so important.

If you want to do anything in life you have to learn from poeple who have already done what you are trying to do.

So if you want to get rich listen to what rich people say.

I got this from the bestseller "THE MILLIONAIRE MIND" by Thomas Stanely.

Enjoy.
