Many people want to be rich.

That's why we like insight into how rich people get to where they are, from the actions they take to the habits they foster to thestrategies regular people use to become millionaires.

However, says certified financial planner Jeff Rose, founder of Alliance Wealth Management, there's something aspiring millionaires need to do before instituting actions, or habits, or strategies.

"Before you chase wealth, define what wealthy means to you," hetells Business Insider. "Being wealthy does not have to revolve around money. You can have wealthy relationships with family and friends, or a wealthy experience in travel and adventures. Having wealth can also be defined as having a lifestyle business that replaces the traditional 9-5 job."
