MILLIONAIRE SUCCESS HABITS
So, let’s look at the other person sitting a few tables away. This guy is sitting up straight, and he’s smiling. When the server approaches, carrying his lunch, this guy says, “Oh, that looks good, thank you.” He notices the waitress’s name tag and says, “Thank you, Jessica.” What would you assume about this guy? Think about his enthusiasm on display. I’m not talking cheesy salesman-type charm, but secure and confident friendliness. More than that, he seems comfortable in his own skin.

So given your intuitive, subconscious judgment, how im- portant do you think your outer appearance is to your success and happiness? Extremely! Did the inner villain get to the first man so badly that it’s now showing from the inside out, or has the outside appearance reflected back to him so much that it’s actually feeding his self-doubt? It’s a chicken-or-egg question; it really doesn’t matter. What matters is the effect, and that effect is bad. Is that person you see with his shoulders down, a frown on his face, and his eyes staring at his shoes the person who’s looking back at you in the mirror? If so, you’ve got a villain inside trying to convince you that you’re not worthy. You’ve
