David walks through the ONE money habit that the majority of America's 24 million millionaires share, why "some day never comes" for most entrepreneurs planning to sell their business, how buying the building your business rents turns operators into accidental millionaires, the 10-day stock-market stat that can cut your long-term returns in half, and the mortgage rule banks don't want you to know.
