How to become a Millionaire in 14 easy steps

yazdi

“The greatest reward in becoming a millionaire is not the amount of money that you earn. It is the kind of person that you have to become to become a millionaire.” — Jim Rohn

Most people wish their circumstances would magically change for them. They don’t have the desire to become better themselves so they can proactively improve their own circumstances.

Unlike most people, who simply wait and wish for luck, you can seek to become the kind of person equipped with the skills and abilities to do brilliant things.

You can become the kind of person who does highly influential work. Your work can solve pressing problems, improve people’s lives, and get noticed by important people who share your work not for your sake, but for theirs! Sharing your work makes them look good because of how great it is.

The quality of who you are as a person, and the work you do, is completely within your control. But you can’t wish for it to happen. You must become the kind of person who naturally attracts the success you seek.

Here’s how:

1. Invest At Least 10% Of Your Income In Yourself

2. Invest At Least 80% Of Your “Off” Time Into Learning

3. Don’t Work For Money, Work To Learn

4. Don’t Learn For Entertainment, Learn To Create More Value

5. Invest At Least 10% Of Your Income Into Vehicles That Will Generate More Money

6. Shift Your Motivation From Getting To Giving

7. Openly Acknowledge How Dependent You Are On Other People

8. Create Win-Win Strategic Partnerships To Achieve 10X or 100X Goals

9. Set 10X Goals and Face Your Fears

10. Get Really Really Good At Marketing

11. Don’t Focus On Time And Effort, Focus On Results Instead

12. Shift Your Environments Regularly

13. Define “Wealth” And “Success” For Yourself

14. Have A Firm Stand, It Becomes Your Brand

Conclusion

Are you doing these 14 things?

How aggressively are you doing them?

Do you want to become a multi-millionaire?

Are you ready to think and act bigger?

You’ve got this.

TiESmashup 7.0

yazdi
Register for SmashUp 5.0
Announcing #TiESmashup 7.0 | 22 July, IIT Bombay
Most startups do at least one thing right, but not everything! Hence, there is a need to learn from each other as well. #TiESmashup is an un-conference based on the concept of peer learning from contemporaries. It has been designed as a platform for the startup + by the startup.

This means, #TiESmashup will be devoid of:

    • Big Boys: we invite only early stage entrepreneurs to speak, no VCs no big boy talks
    • 50,000 feet overview: early stage entrepreneurs tend to give you a 2,000 ft overview, more relevant to the stage you are at.
    • Presentations/Gyan: the focus is on the story telling format with ‘Startup Tales’, this makes the learning anecdotal and interactive.
    • Suits: yes, we take this very seriously to maintain the ambience and energy.
What’s in store
The fifth edition of #TiESmashup, we have the following planned up for you:

  • Speed Date the Investors (Apply by 30th June to be eligible)
