What do all millionaire businesspeople have in common?Well, a lot of things.
I found from a recent study that 80 percent of all millionaires still go to work every single day. They're working people just like me. But, they have to keep themselves in work or it all grinds to a halt. So what are the habits you need to make your business a success?

1. Patience
Nothing is ever going to come easy. You can look at the likes ofSteve JobsandBill Gates, as well as the other usual suspects, to realize that success didn't come with their first venture. Many of them failed time and time again. It took patience for them to become successful.
I read an article recently about 36-year-old teacher Andrew Hallam who became a self-made millionaire on a teaching salary. But, in his spare time he invested smart and lived frugally.

2. Dedication
You have to be dedicated to your craft if you're going tobecome successful.Going back to Bill Gates again, he started his business in the back of his garage. Now that's dedication.
It's what I tell all my students. If they're not dedicated to this, then they should leave. You need to be able to push through the barren periods if you're going to reach the oasis of success.
3. Ambition and big dreams
Have you ever heard the quote, "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss you'll land among the stars"?
I take that to heart because even if you aim to become a billionaire and miss you still might be a millionaire many times over. Take the Wright Brothers as an example. Not content with creating a successful glider in 1902 they went on to create the world's first airplane in 1903, making four brief flights in Kitty Hawk. It demonstrates the importance of dreaming big because you never know what you might achieve.

4. Learn from mistakes
Every good businessperson will mess something up. It's inevitable. What's important is how you learn from your mistakes over time. Do you adapt after making your mistakes?
Millionaire businesspeople always set some time aside to reflect. Then they create a plan of action for ensuring that it doesn't happen again. Most failed businesspeople put it down to "bad luck."

5. Focus on niches
This important! Try to take over a whole industry at once and you'll inevitably get swallowed up by the competition. Start small and control your own niche before moving into another niche. When you master your small area, you can push on and expand.

Do you have what it takes? That's the question I always ask novice businesspeople. You need a plan and you need the right habits if you're going to succeed.
