Two Billionaire Traits You Can Adopt

I have worked in and around the money industry for more than 27 years. I have known billionaires, millionaires and those that aspire to be. I’ve also made and lost millions running my own business, evolution media group, for over 20 years.

During that time I have made countless observations about people who have money. How they act, how they speak, even how they dress. And while there are many things that are different about all these people, there are two common denominators that come up time and time again.

Firstly, they believe in themselves. Implicitly. While not always arrogantly (although same are!) very confidently and totally. This belief is due to the fact that they have made it. That sort of belief is unshakeable simply because it is true. Of course we have all heard before that you have to believe in yourself to be successful, or that to attract money you need to believe you can – and will.

The second trait they all shared was a passion or purpose that money fulfilled, but wasn’t the reason.

Particularly billionaires, I have found, actually don’t think about money much at all. They are more likely to drive older cars, and even buy bargains – most I meet don’t waste money, and in fact are far more likely to be frugal. Why? Because their money fulfils a bigger cause for them – their passion. Whether that passion is philanthropy ( and increasingly was for those with billions) or investing, (which in nature creates wealth) these billionaires pursued their passion relentlessly.

    And once again the regulator finds a way to stop ordinary people from getting advice by placing high costs on people who do the right thing. If a finfluencer is actually trying to scam someone, it would not be hard to operate outside Australian jurisdiction.
