Self made billionaires come from all walks of life. Some become billionaires
very young, others late in life. Some are highly educated, others are dropouts
from the formal education system. But there are five essential personality
traits that they all have in abundance.



Personality Trait Number One is Courage



Self made billionaires have the courage to dream big. You don't become a
billionaire by aiming for a new car or house or a 10% increase in your salary.
You become a billionaire by aiming to be the best and biggest in the world at
what you do. You have the courage to set huge goals in order to get huge
results.



Self made billionaires also have the courage to be very different from those
around them. They are so different from other people that they are often
ridiculed as being weird. They have the courage to not let this bother them.
They have the courage to follow their own dreams even if the whole world thinks
they are crazy.



Self made billionaires have the courage to throw themselves fully into what they
are doing. They don't mind risking failure. They are not people who are looking
for balance, they specialize in one thing and they aim to totally dominate in
this area.



Personality Trait Number Two is Obsession



Self made billionaires become totally obsessed by achieving their goals. They
become totally obsessed by learning everything they need to know. They become
totally obsessed by doing everything they need to do.



These are not people who are playing around with the possibility of success
these are people who are so obsessed by what they are doing that they don't even
notice that there are other things happening in the world around them.



Personality Trait Number Three is Self Discipline



All self made billionaires have tremendous self discipline. They have the
discipline to do the things they need to do no matter what work load is
required. They have the discipline to make whatever sacrifices they need to make
no matter what the cost. They have the discipline to find a way to achieve their
goals no matter what obstacles are put in their path.



Self made billionaires are like great athletes who have the self discipline to
not only push through the pain barrier but to increase the pace just when they
feel like giving up. They don't allow pain, problems, obstacles, the opinions of
others, failure, rejection or any other pressure to push them off their chosen
path. They have the self discipline to keep moving forward no matter what.



Personality Trait Number Four is Great Time Management



All self made billionaires have magnificent time management. They get up early,
typically around 5am. They choose to do the most important tasks and ignore
distractions. When they are working they are fully focused so that they get a
full hour's results from each hour of their time.



Self made billionaires are long term planners and think in terms of ten year
goals, twenty year goals and even longer time frames. Yet on the day to day
basis they plan their time in minutes aiming to get the maximum possible returns
for each minute they spend.



Personality Trait Number Five is Resilience



This last of the five key traits of self made billionaires puts them poles apart
from the average person. Most people give up far too soon but the self made
billionaires never give up no matter how well or how badly things are going for
them.



Because they have such huge goals and throw themselves 100% into those goals if
they experience failure it is often failure on a grand scale but they have the
resilience to bounce back from that failure and get back on the path to
achievement.



Self made billionaires don't revise or down grade their goals just because they
experience failure, setbacks, criticisms, obstacle, sacrifice or any other
difficulty. They have the resilience to stick to their goals and break through
any difficulty and ultimately succeed,



Self made billionaires don't make excuses they take action. They don't blame
others or their circumstances they take 100% responsibility for their outcome.
They have the resilience to weather any storm and this resilience is the glue
that holds the other four traits together and keeps them moving onward and
upward.



How do you score on the five personality traits of billionaires?



You may not want to be a billionaire. You may not want to be so extreme in your
life but if you have the five traits of the billionaire in reasonable measure
then you can succeed at a level far greater than the average person without
needing to be the total fanatic required to make billions.



It is an interesting exercise to assess yourself on each of the five traits as a
means of predicting your own level of future success in life and, if necessary,
giving yourself a tune up in the areas that you are lacking.
