Wealthy people own their thinking, own their actions, and own the results they produce. Successful people don't blame others and they aren't concerned about who gets the credit. Rather, they are focused on what they are accomplishing and the impact it will have, whether on their own or with collaborators.

Rich Mindsets Believe in Saving, Investing, And Multiplying. Poor mindsets splurge on materialistic things. Poor people end up saving nothing to invest. Rich mindsets save, save, save.
The wealthy are typically expected to have good manners, so you should too. Don't say rude or insulting things to people, say please and thank you, and introduce yourself to new people. If you are hosting others, open doors, offer them a seat, and bring them refreshments yourself. Act reserved to come across as classy.
Being a billionaire takes an extreme work ethic and for many, quite a bit of patience. Billionaires are always learning and if you have the chance to ask them, they will almost always say they are the student, not the teacher. The most common traits among billionaires are work ethic and refusing to give up.
Millionaires also tend to be frugal, conscientious, and resilient — all traits that help amplify their wealth-building actions. While some of the behaviors above may also ring true for non-millionaires, millionaires often exhibit them at a stronger level and with more consistency.

"Seventy-six percent of the rich aerobically exercise 30 minutes or more every day," notes Thomas C. Corley, who studied the daily habits of 177 self-made millionaires for five years, in his book Change Your Habits, Change Your Life.

For example, Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder of Facebook and worth $67,300,000,000 (£55.8bn) speaks Chinese as his second language.
Wealthy people take risks to learn new things, develop new skills, and expand their comfort zones. They are likely to start a business and invest in businesses and/or real estate. All of these actions require risk but can also offer substantial rewards. What wealthy people DON'T do is gamble!

A net-worth millionaire is someone who has a net worth of at least $1,000,000. Net worth is a fancy way to say 'what you own minus what you owe. ' If that amount ends up being $1,000,000+, you're a net-worth millionaire."

Missing out on the little things
When you're wealthy, you can feel a lot of FOMO. It's nice to have enough money to not worry about certain things, but it's not worth it if you never get to spend the time you want with the people you care about most. You miss out on so much. Money really isn't everything.
