Btw, if you want to make a ton of money and impact lots of people, one needs lots of know-how valuable to others. No other way around it. Personal development is fine. But to me, it is only step #1! Once you attain this basework, the real work begins! For example, you don't learn calculus for the sake of learning it. You apply it to physics etc.

Read the Millionaire Mind. That's a much better start than trying to imagine or feel what a millionaire would think. If you are not one, you have no idea and pure visual observation will not tell you either. Warren Buffett is a billionaire. Has he even moved once? How much cash does he carry? On the other hand, Donald Trump is a different kind of millionaire. I can imagine him carrying thousands of dollars in his wallet.
