The number 1 habit almost every billionaire has is a visualization of the future they want to create. If you read their autobiographies, every self-made billionaire starts with a vision they have about a business they think they can create. Whether it’s a new business model, technology, or product they can see it clearly in their mind. These thoughts are something they feel compelled to pursue succeed or fail. Their idea energizes them and they are passionate about bringing their idea into reality.
