Are You a Millionaire in the Making?

June 22nd, 2008 · 7 Comments

Adrian over at 7 Million in 7 Years is putting his money where his mouth is.  He’s embarking on a journey of training seven people in the methods and mindset that enabled his success as a multi-millionaire.

It will be an interesting road ahead as this unfolds.  Check it out at 7m7y.com.  Now just because you’re not one of the seven, doesn’t mean you can’t reap the same rewards.  Adrian has promised to post every task and exercise he has planned for his seven grasshoppers on the 7m7y website.  I’ll be following their progress closely and plan to participate in as many activities Adrian suggests as possible.

Who knows, maybe I’ll have seven million in seven years too.  You’ll never know if you don’t try.

    Good Luck, Jeff! Even if you only make $1.7 Million, will you be unhappy? :) Thanks for the post. AJC.

    AJC,

    1.7 Million will be a nice start, but I want a whole lot more. :)

    Thanks for sharing the post Jeff. The fastest ways to procure a lot of money in a short time in today’s age are in my opinion:-

    1. Develop a killer website - http://blog.media-freaks.com/club-penguin-the-2nd-the-race-is-on/

    2. Buy low sell high - Invest in stocks through options trading. Now’s a great time really!

    3. Ebay - I’ve got some friends who’s making a couple of millions anually selling stuff on Ebay

    What do you think?

    @S&B,

    All sound like great ideas to me. Thanks for sharing them. Bottom line for me, looks like you advocate business ownership and smart investment. I agree, now is a great time to invest in the market. Nothing like a blue light special on US businesses.

    I’ve come to the conclusion that my path to accelerated success requires business ownership (through investments and individual ownership) and real estate investment.

    I’ve been participating in AJC’s 7m7y exercises on my own. The first three tasks have been interesting. While they don’t jump out at you as key steps to success, they help you understand who you are, who you want to be, what’s important to you, and what you want in your life. I think AJC is building the motivation factor at this point, i.e. why do you want money and success in the first place.

    Wish me luck! ;)

    I am on board with everything but the “couple of million” per year selling stuff on eBay. I beg your pardon? Do you mean SELLING eBay? I would be surprised if eBay could generate that kind of income for someone in most cases… or even provide any insurance for a tenth of that sum. But I could be wrong…

    Jerry,

    I’ve not tried the eBay power selling bit, but I would imagine that if you had the right product(s), eBay could give you the forum to generate that level of sales.
