Self-made Millionaires are Honest

One of the best books on wealth building is ‘The Millionaire Mind’ by Thomas J. Stanley. Stanley, interviewed hundreds of millionaires to decode their secrets to making millions. And on top of the list of the success factors that most millionaires gave, honesty was the most important.

The idea was, that if you want to build wealth, it will be through people. You will need to be able to do business with and through people. There is popular business maximum that supports this, and it goes like these: “People only do business with those whom they know, like, and trust.”

If you are dishonest, and no one trusts you, getting business, making partnerships, and closing deals will be difficult. Maybe even impossible. So, the first rule to follow to eventually become a self-made millionaire, is to be a person of your word. Be honest.
