So here is the truth, you have to do hard things to become a millionaire. If you think the noisy internet will always be truthful about “how to get easy money”, and “do simple tasks and get huge pay” then for you to become a millionaire is a tough journey. The fact that you can do side hustles doesn’t mean they are easy money.
Rich people chose to do hard things. They may not disclose them and even If they do so, they may look simple because of how they put it. Everything is hard anyway, so choose your hard too to reach your goal.
Don’t be obsessed with money
This may look counterintuitive. But the point here is do not focus so much on how much money you make. This shifts your focus from doing the things that make you become a millionaire. The ideal focus is to do what can get you to become rich. This way, money will become a byproduct of doing the right and hard things.
Help people even in a small way and take stock of them
Helping other people achieve their goals is the right path toward creating wealth. I know of many people who assist people in various ways and they have truly achieved a lot.
Divert your goal from making millions of dollars to serving millions of people
Have you seen any corporate mission or vision that aims at making millions of money? That could be insane, right? We are not used to seeing such. Although the truth is they target to create wealth, it should not be the goal. Instead, serving people in large numbers takes you to the millionaire’s club easily.
Do one thing better
You are good at something, right? Then do it better than other people. Rich people at least do one thing better. With it comes excellence which attracts good pay, respect, and self-fulfillment. Train, learn, practice, evaluate, and refine that one thing. A journey to be a millionaire begins right after you do that thing better and to your best.
Measure your progress
A popular ay goes “What can be done can be measured”. As you work towards your goal, it is important to know what you have done. In doing this, you can measure weekly or monthly. Measuring your progress enables you to know what worked and what did not work so that you can make corrections.
Create routines with consistency
This is where the journey becomes tough. You’ve got to set routines that take you to the goal you have. If for example, you want to reach one million customers within one year, then you have to take daily initiatives towards that. Wishful thinking won’t help you achieve anything, instead, it is the steps you take with consistency.
Be uncomfortable for you to become a millionaire
People tend to be comfortable when they have a paycheck. This is not what self-made millionaire Bobbi Brown did. She started some side hustle like this that made her a millionaire. You should be willing to move out and seek more challenges, tasks, and risks. World-known people did not earn the titles for being at comfort. Instead, they knew that to be a millionaire is devastating and need you to brace for the hardships.
Conclusion
The above hard things look simple at face value. But it is not. Setting that goal alone is a tall order. The good news is that you can make it after you’ve started. Do not sit down and wish, take initiative. Self-made billionaire Steve Siebold said that to be a billionaire is a learnable skill. You can learn it and improve on it, just like any other skill in the world. With these, your journey to become a millionaire is achievable.
