These 6 habits are what many billionaires have in common

'The Billion Dollar Secret' author Rafael Badziag on the advice from self-made billionaires on how to achieve success.

What’s the secret to becoming a billion-dollar success?

Author Rafael Badziag interviewed a group of self-made billionaires to find the answer, and tells Maria Bartiromo he found that many were standing on their feet very early in life.

“They don’t come from wealthy families … most of them, they don’t come from wealthy countries,” he explains.

Perseverance and an entrepreneurial spirit, Badziag says, are two of the biggest factors involved in a billionaire’s success.

“You can’t be a billionaire as an employee.”
