I became a millionaire when I was 35, and since then, I’ve studied hundreds of millionaires.
Though all different, millionaires possess very similar habits that got them there. Believe it or not, these habits aren’t hard to replicate.
Here are 12 signs you’re destined to be a millionaire.
You don’t spend 12 hours watching TV on the weekend.
Your weekends are your time to relax but also to level up.
- To learn
- To side hustle
- To work on yourself
Millionaires don’t waste their weekends. They use them to become more successful.
You invest at least 20% of your income.
Nobody got rich just by saving money alone.
And nobody got rich by spending it, either. Investments build wealth. Wealthy people are big-time investors.

You know how to prioritize.
Millionaires prioritize their lives. They know what is important.
Here’s the priority order: Health > Family > Wealth
Without the first two, it’s much harder to achieve the third.
Your circle of friends is high-quality.
Friends who support and motivate you are high-quality friends
Friends who criticize and sabotage are no friends at all. Millionaires never allow low-quality friends into their inner sanctum.
You spend very little time in your comfort zone.
Comfort zones have their place. We need them. But millionaires don’t build wealth by spending their days in comfort.
They do uncomfortable things. Doing uncomfortable things builds wealth.
You have more than one source of income.
Income from your job or business is great. But, most millionaires have multiple sources of dependable income. If one fails, the others pick up the slack. Multiple income sources ensure long-term, dependable wealth.
You don’t fear failure.
To a millionaire, failures are learning opportunities. To the poor, failures mean that you’re not good enough.
The truth is that failure builds:
- Character
- Experience
- Determination
Millionaires use failures to level up their lives.
You have a high moral character.
Millionaires live and die by their morals and ethics. They sleep well at night because they operate their lives healthily and wholesomely. Rich criminals don’t stay rich for long (unless they are politicians).
You smile. A lot.
The happiest people I’ve ever met have also been the richest. Why? People want to work with happy people.
Happy people are attractive
Wealth is attracted to happy people
Being happy creates money-making opportunities.
Your health is more important than your wealth.
Successful people exercise consistently. Contrary to popular belief, they don’t just sit in offices all day.
Millionaires:
- Walk
- Eat healthily
- Resistance train
Health DIRECTLY enables wealth.

You believe in winning.
You don’t apologize for things that you didn’t do. You don’t feel bad about being more successful than your neighbor.
You believe in yourself.
You believe that you belong.
You believe in winning, and therefore, you do.
You are goal-oriented.
Without goals, it’s impossible to right the ship. To make changes. Why?
Because without goals, you have no idea where you are going. Millionaires keep smart, achievable goals.
And they hold themselves to them!
