Most people find it easy to believe that the millionaires in the world struck it rich through the lottery somehow or maybe they inherited it from their parents, but the truth is very simple, these wealthy men and women had a plan to become wealthy and lived according to that plan for much of their lives. Pretty boring huh? Yes, this may be a yawner, but it’s important to know that ANYONE can become wealthy. It just takes hard work and determination.
