The millionaires don’t have same habits and values that help them attain the pinnacle of power and wealth. Our contemporaries are different from their wealthy predecessors of a generation ago.

The chances to become rich are similarly for everyone. We don’t strive to wealth and big money, all that we want subconsciously is a freedom. We dream to become free:  to spend our time as our please, to pursue our real interests and to take a chance without courting utter ruin.  But often the path to riches means acting as if you already have that freedom.

To become the part of nation's 1 million richest people you need to have in your purse more than $5 million. During the past ten years the number of U.S. entrepreneurs doubled. What we can say about the entrepreneurs with big fortunes - foremost, they don’t afraid of risky actions. The wealth for them is a secondary intention. All that they need – to pursuit their endless passion.

Not every entrepreneur has stock-market skills. Only 10% of millionaires have earned money through stock investments. Other 10% of rich men inherited their wealth.

But what got the majority to the highest level? Someone can intend that the great role plays a good fortune. But luck often accompanies the people with certain habits. They're friendly, ready for new experiences and have higher expectations of success — they're too optimistic to heed the long odds and call it quits.

Most people feel themselves awkwardly in risky situations, but risk is a main path to success. The vast majority of millionaires started their own business or worked for a small company that saw sharp growth. And almost all of them made their fortune in a big lump sum after many years of effort.

Today's millionaires say that wealth itself wasn't the main factor of their motivator. Often they make fortune after changing their minds to solve a problem or do something better than it's been done before. Getting rich also requires a certain amount of stubbornness and clarity of purpose. Knowing that your success depend on your enthusiasm for bringing the idea to reality, you will  carefully choose you partners who can support your vision and will not leave you alone in difficult situation.
