Millionaire Status in Much Less Than 30 Years!

I was absolutely shocked at this article in CNN Money, published a while back, explaining how to become a millionaire. The article talks about how to put yourself in a position to be a millionaire within 30 years! http://money.cnn.com/popups/2006/moneymag/ontrack_millionaire/index.html

This is the mentality of our Corporate Leaders and Colleges today. Our young people are not being taught how to achieve success while they are still young. It is a fact the majority of Self Made Millionaires in North America, became Millionaires in less than 5 years.

The truth is, our society is misleading people into believing that financial success can only come to an elite few, or those who are willing to save forever, while the corporate gurus are making millions themselves. Maybe we should look at the fact that corporate leaders do not want you to succeed, they want you to remain an employee, therefore having an employee or need mentality. And as for professors, how many millionaire professors do you know? They do not teach success strategies or the economics of making money, and they certainly are not financial success stories themselves as a rule. I do believe that education is extremely important today, I do not however believe higher education is an absolute necessity to succeed financially. The best way to learn how to make money is to learn from those making money.

This is exactly why Network Marketing creates so many millionaires. Successful people are teaching others how to have the same level of success. It's all about learning to work smart, not necessarily hard. It is very important to live your life while you are making your million.

The old saying "you are the company you keep" is so true. To make a million dollars, start associating with people who have made a million dollars. Successful people are so, because they are willing to share and assist others in the same or greater level of success.

If you are shooting for a higher level of success, first of all, take a look at who you are spending your life with. Are they providing you the empowerment to get to where you wish to be? Be sure to bring powerful people and mentors into your closest circle of acquaintances.

Another important step is to fill your mind with empowering information. Read biographies and the works of powerful and successful people. Turn the TV off and be very focused on what you put into your mind.

These simple actions will get you closer to becoming a millionaire faster than any other action. Sure, you should save and invest, but never count on saving a million dollars, decide to make a million first.

To your success...

Wanda;

I have belatedly found this wonderful post, and just wanted to say THANK YOU!

It is absolutely true that attaining millionaire status is possible in under 5 years, and that many people do it. I don't want to get started on my frustration about our school systems and media, and how little we/our kids are taught about financial matters. You've done such a great job here already...all without sounding angry or frustrated.

Your points are bang on, and I would emphasize the reading...as soon as you begin learning about not just one but many, many people who have attained magnificent wealth, the belief that you can can do it seeps everdeeper and begins to affect a person's thoughts and actions. This, combined with 'hanging around' with people who have actually done it and can act as inspiration and provide mentorship provides a powerful one-two punch against poverty and lack.

Thanks again for this great post, and continued success to you!
