I was walking to the store with my brother fondling my quarter when I dropped it in the street and it rolled into a manhole. I was excited, giddy, and I felt powerful.
I had a quarter in my pocket to spend at the store.
I didn’t want money for the sake of money, but to be able to have the power of choice.Īt the age of eight, one of my first experiences with money was walking to the local grocery store. While I do believe in prayer, I don’t expect God to take care of my finances and I certainly don’t want to leave it up to everything “going right.” At a very young age, I noticed how the people who made the decisions and had the power of choice all seemed to be the people with money. I have never wanted to just have “enough,” in fact, truth be known, I have always wanted to be rich. Ask your parents for money advice and they will recite their path: get a good job, buy a house, contribute to your 401k, be grateful you have more than most, and pray everything goes right.

#HECTA MILLIONAIRE HOW TO#
Very few people know how to get money, even fewer know how to keep it, and almost no one knows how to multiply it. The other reason is that people fundamentally do not understand money. They are convinced by those close to them to simply be satisfied with whatever their financial situation is. The reason most people never get rich is that they never even consider it a possibility. In fact, just to debunk one of the myths, I’ll tell you that four out of five millionaires today work for someone else. Millionaires and the super rich come from all walks of life. Most have come to believe that becoming a millionaire is for the lucky sperm club, business owners, gold diggers, lottery winners, athletes, rappers, and inventors.

How to become a millionaire or multi-millionaire or even hecta-millionaire (100 million units) isn’t taught in schools or colleges.
