Sarah Stanley Fallaw is co-author of 'The Next Millionaire Next Door: Enduring Strategies for Building Wealth.'
By interviewing over 600 millionaires, she says that they tend to share the same traits: focus, resilience, discipline, and perseverance.
Happily, Business Insider reports that just by doing two things, anyone can cultivate these qualities--even if they don't come naturally.
The first is to understand where you are today. In other words, do some self-discovery to learn where you're tripping up.
For example, if you tend to make decisions emotionally, ask yourself how that trait may be blocking your progress towards wealth.
Next, build your new behaviors around your usual behaviors to get your new habits of saving and investing established.
For example, turn a savings deposit into a 'bill' that you 'pay' yourself when paying all your other bills. Good luck!
