In a follow-up to the latest list of billionaires, Maureen Farrell asks us "Are You Born To Be A Billionaire?"
Some of her findings:
1. Billionaires are revolutionaries - they transform industries or start new ones.
2. They anticipate future fields - seeing spaces that no one else sees.
3. They have an Unwavering belief in vision--and an immutable will to pull it off.
4. They have a deep passion and a point of view about the future.
5. They believe that they have a better way to solve a set of problems than how they're being solved now.
6. They have a seemingly ravenous appetite for risk.
You have ALL THAT?
Good! But, before rushing into an action plan to catapult yourself to The Billionaire Club, ask yourself some fundamental questions listed by executive psychologist Debra Condren (who has worked with brands like 3M, Chevron and Hewlett-Packard) in the same article.
