7 Telltale Signs You’re on Your Way to Becoming a Millionaire

Each millionaire’s path is different, but a few common aspects pop up in each success story. Having these traits does not necessarily mean that you are destined to make millions. That destiny is still your choice to make. However, acquiring these traits does indicate a greater likelihood for success.

One entrepreneur noted how discouraged he was when making millions seemed “like an unobtainable dream.” That is, until he researched a bit and found that becoming a millionaire is “a lot more common than you think and completely possible if you have the right mentality to become rich.” Developing that mentality comes over time, not overnight.

Find out for yourself if you are on the path to developing that mindset and becoming a successful millionaire with these revealing signs.

You’re a Doer

Not only are you the kind of person who sets goals, but you are also the kind of person who keeps those goals. New Year’s Resolutions aren’t a joke to you, they are something you strive for daily. You understand that dreams don’t just happen, you have to make them a reality yourself.

You Celebrate Others’ Accomplishments

As an entrepreneur, you understand that you build businesses with a whole team and hardly ever with just one person. Rather than solely focusing on your own accomplishments, you take the time to celebrate what others on your team are doing. This isn’t just about you. You’ve learned to trust the abilities of others and to show your appreciation, which is turn urges your team to work harder and more efficiently.

You’re Not Waiting on Your Dream Job

If you don’t have the job of your dreams right now, you know that there are plenty of other opportunities for success all around you. You work for the life you want. However, you also know that plans aren’t always set in stone. Being adaptable and opportunistic is a huge advantage for you. This has already lead to some incredible prospects for your success.

You Were an Entrepreneur as a Kid

Similarly, you saw opportunities to make a little extra money even when you were young. Perhaps you were the child who instead of eating the jelly beans you bought, sold them individually to make a profit. Or maybe you were like Warren Buffett and Richard Branson, selling packs of gum and parakeets at ages 6 and 11. Regardless of the specifics, you learned early on that you could begin to be successful with what you had.

You Know When to Spend

Frugality doesn’t always equate to becoming a millionaire. Knowing where and when to spend your money, though, is a different story. Some of the wealthiest entrepreneurs got to where they are because they made the right investments. Are you seeking out the best investments? Are you not afraid to spend money to make money?

You like Being Adventurous

Taking chances, even without knowing the outcome, gives you a rush. One psychologist, Dr. Robert Cloninger, explains, “To succeed, you want to be able to regulate your impulses while also having the imagination to see what the future would be like if you tried something new.” Too much risk-taking could hinder your success, but just the right amount of following your heart and your head will lead you to great results.

Being a Millionaire isn’t the End Goal

Just like a B in school wasn’t good enough for you, becoming a millionaire is just a stepping stone on your way to bigger goals. Once you start making millions, you’ll go back to your previous behaviors by looking for even more opportunities and investments. You’re not one to stay stagnant with your personal growth. To you, growth is a continual progression towards greatness.

You don’t need to embody all these traits, but the more you do the more certain you can be of your success. Remember, though, that in the end you create a successful life through a series of choices. You may not be the most skilled in your field, or the most abled fellow to accomplish something. You may not have been born into the most fortunate of circumstances, but all that is stopping your success is the choices you make.
