Codie Sanchez breaks down why staying put works. The average millionaire is 49, billionaires are 67, and most Americans switch jobs every 1.5 years. Consistency and time in one role beat the constant job-hopping most people do.

The average age of a millionaire is 49 years old. The age of a billionaire before they hit a billion is 67 years old. The average American in the US, they stay at a job now for a year and a half, and usually they do lateral moves, meaning they don't even go to a new job that pays them more. So if you have a focus ability to stay somewhere to do something for longer than a year and a half, you are above average. I think the secret's pretty obvious. Time plus consistency equals success. That's it.
