  • "How do you become a millionaire? Become a billionaire, then buy an airline." Richard Branson I have no original thought.
  • I would find an entrepreneur or business leader who inspires you, then study them, find their secret sauce and make it your own. For example, I look up to Richard Rosenblatt for his vision of the social web and that has helped me to get into various internet businesses.
  • There is no fast, get rich quick scheme. You have to start saving money and not wasting money living beyond your means. You actually have to live below your means and save the difference. Freedom has to be more important to you than a high social status. some tips: 1) If you can work at a job that will pay for your education, you should do that rather than take student loans. You may have to give up a social life for four years while you work and go to school but you will have a lot more money and will be able to do more in the future. 2) When you buy your first home, buy a two or three family apartment building. You can live cheaply while continuing to save money and eventually buy a home with a lot more money down. You could also keep the income property and allow the tenants to pay for it to use toward your retirement. 3) Save money while you are in the your twenties and thirties. You can not make up for that time later. Save as much as you can in your company 401k, etc. Sacrifice while you are younger, it makes a huge difference when you get into your late thirties and forties. If you wait until your late thirties or forties to start saving you will never be wealthy. You just can't catch up.
  • For starters while you are developing your ideas pay yourself first,Save,save,save,live beneath your means,no credit cards,pay cash for every thing except house,(buy used car).Invest in a no-load index mutual fund monthly for life.Just a few ideas

  • The fastest ways are by becoming a politician or televangelist, preferrably, both
  • From: http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/SavingandDebt/SaveMoney/12StepsToBecomeAMillionaire.aspx 12 steps to become a millionaire 1. Keep your eyes peeled for better ways to do your job. Streamline a procedure, shave costs, create a new profit center, become an expert on a specific topic, volunteer for a company committee -- anything that will make you stand out as a prime candidate for a promotion or a pay boost. 2. Don't be afraid to negotiate. In a study of master's degree graduates from her university, Carnegie Mellon economics professor Linda Babcock found that those who negotiated their first salary boosted their pay by 7.4% compared with those who didn't bargain. 3. Get your ducks in a row and your numbers on paper. If possible, quantify how much your efforts add to the company's bottom line. If that's not feasible, spotlight your value with comparable salaries for workers in your position from a Web site, such as Salary.com, or from a professional association. 4. Plot your strategy when it's time to move on. Create a professional-looking page on MySpace that tells prospective employers why you're an exceptional candidate, recommends John Challenger of the outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. And don't neglect more conventional networking: Join a professional association or show up at school reunions toting business cards. 5. Contribute as much as you can to your 401(k) and other tax-deferred retirement plans. You'll not only build a bigger nest egg, but you'll also cut your tax bill. In the 25% federal tax bracket, every $1,000 you contribute to a 401(k) trims your taxes by $250. And you'll save on state income taxes, too. 6. Flex your tax-saving muscle. Contribute pretax dollars to a flexible spending account to pay for dependent care or out-of-pocket medical expenses. If you set aside $1,500 per year and you're in the 25% bracket, avoiding federal income and Social Security taxes means Uncle Sam will subsidize almost $500 of your expenses. 7. Review your tax withholding. If you're expecting a refund this spring, you're having too much tax withheld from your paycheck -- and making an interest-free loan to Uncle Sam. That's no way to become a millionaire. Put more money in your pocket by using Kiplinger's withholding calculator and then filling out a new Form W-4. 8. Stash savings in a Roth IRA if you're eligible. Withdrawals in retirement, including decades of compounded earnings, will be tax-free. This year, income-eligibility limits for a Roth increase to $114,000 for individuals and $166,000 for married couples. 9. Don't delay. The quicker you get a jump on putting money aside, the easier it will be to stuff a seven-figure cushion. If you start at age 25, for example, investing $286 per month will get you $1 million by age 65, assuming you earn 8% annually. 10. Invest automatically, either through your employer's retirement plan or by setting up a regular deposit to a mutual fund or broker. You'll never miss the money, and you'll avoid two big mistakes: buying too much when stock prices are high and not buying at all when prices fall. 11. Watch for fund fees. The more you pay, the tougher it is to earn an above-average return. The typical hedge fund, for example, takes 20% of any gains, a huge hurdle to overcome. A better bet: no-load mutual funds with expense ratios of 1% or less. If you trade individual stocks, watch those commissions. 12. Keep it simple. Be wary of get-rich-quick schemes or sales pitches for complex investments, such as oil-and-gas partnerships, that trade on the millionaire cachet to lure investors into buying high-fee products they don't understand. Most millionaire households accumulate their wealth over the long term by sticking to a regular investing plan in a balanced portfolio.

  • If I told you how to do it, and guaranteed my method, would you do it? Even if I told you you would be working 100 hours per week and would not have vacations to yourself? And you would miss your kids' first steps, and their school graduations, and that your spouse would probably leave you after you've been working like this for 3 years? And that you wouldn't have time for exercise and that between the lack of exercise and all the sitting you'll be doing that it will shorten your life and you'll start having heart problems after 6 years of this? This is the real trade-off many people are and have been making in pursuit of wealth, so choose carefully.
