6 THINGS BILLIONAIRES DO DIFFERENTLY

Billionaires are a rare breed of people ( I being one of them) displaying talents others could only dream of but as they say the secrets of the successful are in their stories. Here are six things that billionaires do differently

1 They are time conscious set of people and when I mean time conscious I don't mean people who hurry and rush and still try to figure out where time has gone. They don't spend time, they invest it in productive engagements, they keep to time when given appointments or when they give out appointments. A wise man said' Your respect for time will determine to a great extent your financial destiny. Also, the rich spend money to save time while the poor squander time trying to save money.

2 They are never afraid of failing forward, Donald Trump was one billion dollars in debt yet was still making out projects. Billionaires see failing in a different light, they see it as a learning experience where they learn what to do, what not to do and how to do things better.

3 They are passionate people filled with a burning desire to do what is in their hearts to do. They wake up every morning with determination and they go to bed with satisfaction. Sir Henry Royce could not take good as good enough neither will Soichiro Honda accept a flaw in a Honda car because these and more people are passionate about their work.

4 They either create new things or do common things in an uncommon way. Ray Kroc was not the founder of McDonalds yet he did in an uncommon way what the original owners were doing commonly while on the other hand Mark Zuckerberg created a social media platform with over a billion users with the aim of connecting people. Billionaires either make things better or make better things

5 Billionaires are givers. True billionaires know that giving is the source of living, John D. Rockefeller while on his deathbed began giving his way his money in which a portion of the money went to an orphanage filled with hungry orphans, this act alone elongated his life by 41 years with a foundation in his name. Billionaires don't hoard they give examples are people like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and others who give to charity

6 Billionaires don't take life too seriously. Billionaires are humans who live life one day at a time. Billionaires like Sir Richard Branson love life and they enjoy it to the full with people they love and cherish enjoying the best gifts of life like the rising of the sun, waterfalls, birds and people moving here and there. Life is a journey meant to be enjoyed and not endured.
