You don’t suddenly stumble upon a seven-figure sum; sadly it’s not that easy. So just how do those who made the first million before many of us even stepped onto the property ladder do it? Whatever industry they’re in, be it tech, finance, retail or something else, the world’s youngest millionaires all share these key personality traits…
PASSION
Building your own business or getting to the top of your field requires a healthy dose of passion for whatever you’re pursuing. So for those who made their first million before 25, passion and a taste for success has been a driving force behind their hastily gotten riches.
RESOLUTE
Being an entrepreneur is no easy day job and there will be plenty of naysayers trying to put you down at every opportunity. The world’s richest have a knack for being resolute and taking criticism on the chin, subsequently learning and building from the negative experiences. There’s something to be said about never giving up.
INDEPENDENCE
You can’t rely on anyone but yourself to hand you success at a young age. Being able to work by yourself, make decisions and not rely on others to get things done will put you on a fast track road to success.
FOCUS
Banking those first seven-figures will be the result of many a late night and a number of low points before the highs. Staying focused on the task at hand and the goal in mind no matter what is absolutely essential to getting rich, never mind getting there quick.
FEARLESS
Striking out on your own and starting a business is a daunting process; let alone taking meetings and giving presentations that both your business and lively-hood rely on. Being utterly fearless, or at least being able to overcome any anxiety, is the success of many of the world biggest and brightest businessmen.
