What makes a tycoon different from you or me? It’s not just (really) big hair and the ability to leave a hotel without stuffing their suitcase with the complimentary miniatures. It’s the way they think. Steve Siebold, author of How Rich People Think, spent nearly three decades interviewing the megawealthy, and found that the majority of us non-billionaires think with a ‘lottery’ mentality; while those who have propelled themselves to the one percent (that’s the richest one percent of the population who own half the world’s wealth) tend to have an ‘action’ mentality. “While the masses are waiting to pick the right (lottery) numbers, the great ones are solving problems,” he says. So if you want to add some more zeros to your bank balance (or just keep on top of your rent and an online shopping addiction), it’s time to adopt these habits and start thinking like the super-rich.
