Nah, most younger people operate on a later schedule. Besides, it's a group effort. :manny:

But if you operate on the rigid, limited paradigm of the old, you can't comprehend very well. Plus more businesses are automated than ever.

Technology is a beautiful thing if you know how to use it without an overhead or a boss that barks at you.:blessed:
Did something recently change your mindset? I vaguely remember you being the going to school and getting a job type. I might be confused. I agree with you though

No one is one-dimensional. :martin: I always said that no one can get wealthy from having a job, no matter how skilled it is. I done traditional schooling and despite that, it is done since 2008. These jobs exploit people and underpay them. They outlived it's purpose.

No one is going to become a millionaire working a 9 to 5. They call it "the working class" for a reason.
You either missed the point of becoming a "self made millionaire" or you've never seen one (most likely).

My deadline to open my own business is March 1th 2016, and this considering I'll have my last health check in mid January and after that I'll move in another country.

People lack ambitions and common sense, how in the fukk you want to be a self made millionaire if you DON'T EVEN THINK about putting in work?
"b b b but they don't work 9-5", yeah maybe now, but you had to be there from d1.

The thing is, it doesn't have to take too long, if you can't make a million in a 3 year span owning a business that CAN allow you to realistically make that money (COMMON SENSE, people out there dreaming about millions opening laundrettes) then maybe you're doing something wrong.
And in that same amount of time you have to be able to eventually replace yourself (working role) with employes, to focus on other ventures or just to live the life (if you're happy with it).

My long term goal is to own multiple businesses (at least 2), buy a house in London for me and my family, finish paying my mom's mortgage and STILL be a millionaire within 25 years of age.
I'll turn 22 in 2016.

Like fam, just think how much work you gotta put in to make $1,000 a week after taxes.
Most people spend 4 years in college or years at a job just to get that.
Then imagine $2000 a week after taxes. 90% of people NEVER see that.
One million dollars mean you bring in about 20,000 racks a WEEK.
:mindblown:

What df would you even do to bring in that kinda money, consistently? There aint enough hours in the day. How do people really become millionaires?
people do not become millionaires working for other companies and corporations unless they are at the top of the food chain of said corps/companies. and those companies have to be bringing in MILLIONS. If you're a SONY exec you're pulling it in.
i'll help you. your president isnt seeing a mil per year and he's the PRESIDENT. i'm not talkign book deals, speaking engagements, etc. just pure salary.

people that run entire school districts are not bringin in millions.

The CHIEF OF POLICE dont even see a Mill per year.

So that again tells you. you will never cake millions being an employee.
You have to own your own business. and odds are YOU STILL wont be a millionaire unless your business does incredible.

so the only other way to pull that off is to be in the entertainment industry( sports included). and in that industry you need to be a manager or a principle player(kobe, lebron, even some low level nba player will see a mill, some mid level football guys will see millions. baseball players eat well too, actor(dont be a black one..lol), actress(dont be black). will see millions if you're good or good looking or both. big time producers, directors.

but the rest of us. NO, that lotto better hit or else. sure we can get lucky and come up with a great app(the odds of that happening is still probably as likely as winning the lottery.

There are plenty of people with hard skills/ STEM majors that hate their job despite them paying well. I mean, doing something that you hate for 30-40 years will drive them to insanity. Or even push them to do :demonic: shyt. Not everyone cut out to be the same 4 to 5 majors of STEM.

People need to abandon that job mindset and be more entrepreneurial.
this the realest shyt posted.

It's not impossible. It's just that we're poisoned by naive forum posters all day so it seems like its hard. You gotta make big moves and not hold yourself back. Only time in life I made money was when I was aware of others who were
but you didnt become a millionaire now did you? thats the Op's point. no its not impossible. its improbable. doesnt mean you should not try to do as well as you can in business. it means dont put your entire existence on making a million. because if by chance you dont become a millionaire which is more likely then you beocming one, you wont lose yourself in the reality of not making it. all you can be is the best you can be. thats it. if that aint enough to see a mil. so be it. you did your part.

I think you missed the point of my post.

All you just said was obvious as fukk, but the fact of the matter is that no one is going to become a millionaire working a 9-5 ALONE. Of course you are going to need side ventures and all that shyt. Owning your own business is a far leap from working a 9-5 under someone. Tell me something I don't know.

Just live below your means and make a lot of net profit. Better than having to answer to another person, telling you when to wake up and telling you when you should meet your kids or when to take a vacation. That shyt drives a ton of people insane when another person forbids them from seeing their kids or spending time with themselves.
exactly, this is my blueprint bro....just live under my means, be smart...save and invest and be free

freedom > money, esp considering all money is, is a perception....ppl get stressed out trying to live lifestyles that see from movies


once u have the basic necessities youre good ...the materialistic shyt has no value anyway

Its all about making a good salary and having investments. If you ever watched Dave Ramsey's YouTube videos he has millionaires call into his show. Normally they have like 1-5 million. They have their money invested but the majority of them make good ass money a yr. like 100k

I'd say you aren't gonna make 1 million+ Alone by just working a regular job and saving.

I also hate how he acts like the people making 100k+ a yr are normal people when the avg family isn't making that unless they are somewhere like NYC or Cali.
