Do You Deserve to be a Millionaire?

Do you deserve to be a millionaire? Why? If you said you deserve to be a millionaire because you work hard, long hours, you are wrong. Lots of people work long, hard hours and earn minimum wage. If you said you deserve to be a millionaire because you have been in this business 25 years
