MILLIONAIRE SUCCESS HABITS
Or look at this first C , commitment, from the opposite perspective: Have you ever been successful in something to which you were not committed? Whether it was a relation- ship, a new business, or even a new diet? Heck no! If you want more wealth and that next level of life, then you’re going to have to commit to it.

So focus on where you want to go and your new story, pull your shoulders back, stick out your chest, and say, “This is my time!” Be courageous and go for it. The third C is capability .
