** HOW TO BECOME A MILLIONAIRE **

(6 Ways I've Made Seriously Big Money... And How You Can Do It, Too)

//THREAD//
Here's the hard truth:

You'll never make life-changing money working a 9-5.

I should know - my wife and I worked office jobs we hated.

That all changed when we dove headfirst into online business... and never looked back.

Hopefully this will help someone in that position
Method #1: Work At A Startup Company That Provides Equity

When I said you'll never make life changing money working an office job?

This is one of the few exceptions to that.
This happened to me:

>worked at a startup for 17 years
>survived multiple layoffs
>company got acquired
>I made a little less than a $1M in stock options + retention bonuses

Obviously, this requires a bit of luck.

BUT, there are tons of startups out there that need your help.
Method #2: Buy Stocks For Companies You Love And Hold Them Forever

I recommend this only once you have a lot of money to invest.

If you do?

It's worth investing a portion of your money & holding long term.
I did this with companies like Microsoft, Facebook, and Oracle...

...and it's made me close to a million dollars to date.

Pro Tip: Stay away from day trading! I lost most of my gains this way.
Method #3: Start An Ecommerce Business

66% of millionaires are self-employed AND most of these people are entrepreneurs.

My first successful biz was an online store selling handkerchiefs.

We turned $630 into a 7-figure business + have been running our store for over 10 years!
eComm offers ultimate freedom and scalability.

It's one of the best ways to make life changing money... period.

Method #4: Start A Blog, Podcast Or YouTube Channel

This is what I did with MyWifeQuitHerJob.com.

Here's what you need to know:

If you can create content that attracts an audience,

You can make life changing money.

AND...
You *do not* need to be an expert.
All you need is

>a skill or craft you can excel in
>one that you can share with the world

The content generates traffic, and then you can sell courses/products/coaching/etc.
If you want to make life changing money in the next 3-5 years, start putting out content now.

It doesn’t matter what medium you choose - you just need to pick one and stick with it on a consistent basis.
Method #5: Invest In Real Estate

(This is also best when you have money to invest)

I've been successful with real estate investing... but it's been almost 100% luck.

I live in Silicon Valley, which means my properties have increased in value + yielded $1M+ in appreciation.
Real Estate is a hedge against inflation.

Why?

Your mortgage stays constant + the amount you own becomes less over time (because of inflation).

And, if you're living in your house for the foreseeable future?

It's difficult to lose money.
Method #6: Surround Yourself With Other Millionaires

You've heard this before:

"Your network is your Net Worth"

Well, it's a cliche because it's true.

This isn't necessarily a strategy... it's more so a lifestyle choice that WILL make you richer.
When you surround yourself with people who make your yearly salary in a month?

You can't help but grow.

Also, people that make $$ can offer you advice or ideas that make you more $$ also.

For example,

My buddy Lars Hundley convinced me to start selling on Amazon.
The result?

I increased my eComm profits by an additional 6 figures practically overnight.

Trust me:

Making millions is easier when you surround yourself with people who make millions.
In my opinion?

Starting an eCommerce store is the easiest (and fastest) way to become a Millionaire in the 2020s.

Looking to get started?

I created a 100% FREE Mini-Course.

It's the step-by-step process I used to build 2 7-figure stores.

Want to start your own ecom brand?

One that pays you 6-7 figures a month?

How to make $1,000 FAST...

...while also building a long-term business that could potentially change your life.

(Step-By-Step)

// THREAD //
Step 1: Write Down What You Are Good At

This 1st Step is important.

To get someone to pay you $$$,

You MUST be able to provide value.

So...
>How can you provide a benefit that someone is willing to pay for?
>What can you teach someone that will improve their life?
Most people don't believe they are an expert in anything...

But this is the completely wrong mindset!

You just need to know more than whoever you are teaching.

You don't need to be THE expert...

...you just need to be A expert.

Write down a complete list of ALL your skills.

13 Things You Didn't Know About ME

// THREAD //
1. In elementary school, I had a buck tooth that grew at a nearly 90 degree angle.

My friends used to give me tin cans to open with my teeth... until I got braces. :)
2. In 6th grade, I was a member of honors chorus (a singing group composed of about 30 kids).

The conductor told me to just mouth the words and pretend like I was singing... because I was that bad.

I’ve built two 7-figure online businesses

If I had to start a biz with no money, here’s how I’d do it

// THREAD //
1. Build an audience

Without paid advertising, building an audience organically is key

Use platforms
- Twitter
- Facebook
- YouTube
- Instagram
- TikTok

Post value + engaging content in one specific niche.

Interact with others + stay consistent.

Keep growing and don't stop.
You don't have to use social media.

Other options for growing an audience include

- blogs (post SEO articles consistently)
- podcasts (start your own or get on others)

This is a great way to grow an audience but can be slower than social media.

3 types of products you can sell online TODAY
(highly profitable + scaleable)

// THREAD //
There are many aspects to running an eCommerce business

Ex. advertising, fulfillment, employees, customer service, etc.

BUT

It all starts with your product.

Here are three different types of products you can sell as soon as today
Type #1: Candy-like product

These are products that don't solve any real problems.

But, they bring pleasure + are fun to own.

Example:
Fidget Spinners.

If they become a fad?

Boom. Sales can explode + you can get rich, easily.

The downside:

Fame is fleeting.

14 Elon Musk Quotes That Will Inspire Small Business Owners

//Thread// Image
“When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.”

Starting a business will be one of the most stressful, painful, nerve-wracking experiences in your life.

It’s also worth it.
“If you need motivation, don’t do it.”

True motivation is not fabricated, you just feel it.

Makes sense why so many people start businesses after hitting rock bottom…
