I can tell you first hand, I would rather get lucky but the reality of it, is a million dollars will not be handed to me. You have to be willing to go out there and do the work. I have to be self motivated and have faith that my hard work will pay off. I am often viewed as greedy because I do not waste a lot of money, but i save up that money and invest it into my companies. Within my family nobody has reached the million dollars and whenever i talk to my family about the millionaires i follow all they respond with is “They are lucky”. “Lucky” to have 300,000 dollar cars, “Lucky” to have a 800,00 dollar house, but were they “Lucky” when they were homeless?. I myself do a lot of research on people the people who I follow and read their stories. I know most of the things they have gone through to get to a millionaire statues.

Millionaires are willing to get people out of their life if it will affect their goals. They are very honest, if they have something to tell you they will, because their future is in the line. Sometimes their honesty can hurt those around them. Time is very valuable to them and they will let you know if you are wasting their time. Millionaires time management is tough, according to Entreprenuer.com when they added “Being your own boss doesn’t mean you stop punching time cards - it just means you make the cards” ( “The 4 Golden Rules of Millionaire Time Management” 1). Most millionaires own a business, which means they can set their times to work. They usually do not have a schedule, they just work when they want. Millionaires are simply human machines. I do not agree with the bad reputation they have because time is very valuable. As a business person myself, time wasting has to be avoided at all times. It is also good to be honest regardless if you do not agree with the person's opinion it can be helpful in the future,
