There are many different ways people will take the title of this post. The first group of people will be the largest, they will think that I’m joking and that this post is going to be about something else, or about setting goals. Some will think it’s link bait. Others will be nay sayers. They will think I am serious but will tell me that it’s impossible.
There will be another, very small group that will support me and give me credit for thinking so big. Those are the people that I want to talk too, nothing is impossible. I’ve always been of the mindset that you don’t tell yourself or anyone you can’t do it, you simple have to ask yourself – how can I do this?
If you say I can’t do it, your shutting your minds power down. Your mind is the most valuable thing you have and if you let it work, it will do wonders. By asking yourself how can you do something – your mind becomes active in thinking of any possible ways that you can pull it off.
I’ve had this goal for a long time and I decided to share it today for a few reasons. I want to inspire some of you, to stop idling in life and get to work. I have a lot of hard work ahead of me to get to this goal. I’ve been doing the raw numbers and to most they will seem absolutely impossible.
I have three years to do this, Mark Zuckerburg of Facebook is the current youngest self made billionaire at twenty-three years old. I broke it down into smaller chunks to see if it would seem easier. It certainly does not seem any easier. I will need to make on average:
- $336 million a year.
- $28 million a month.
- $950,000 a day.
After seeing that most of you will have dismissed me as crazy. Those of you that haven’t, are true believers in what the human mind and body can do. After I decided that I wanted to seriously pursue this goal, I had to figure out what ways I could possible make those figures. I knew that I would need to focus on the right side of the cash quadrant. The business and investing side to be able to pull down those kind of numbers.
I made a basic list on my whiteboard of the different things I can do in those two categories to achieve my goal.
- Websites/Companies that do not require my presence to prosper.
- Real Estate Investments.
- General Stock Investments.
Due to that list – this blog will also be changing slightly. We’re going to deal with affiliate marketing still because I have no intention of stopping that. However I’m also expanding it into the other things listed above. Hopefully that won’t deter any readers from staying around. As you might of noticed, I changed the quote of the blog up top. Before it was “Where Making Money Matters”, which admittedly, wasn’t all that great. Money matters most everywhere. I’ve changed the route we’re taking. The blog will now be about “My Path to Financial Freedom” because that’s what we’re all after anyway, isn’t it?
After I figured a quick plan of action, by no means a full plan, I already saw a few things I would need to get. In a quest as large as mine, I can’t go it alone. I’ll need the support of my close friends and family, to keep me going as I am sure there will be great pitfalls that cause me to think about giving up. However I will not give up until the day I can’t reach the goal anymore. Even then, I’ll push on to do it anyway.
Along with support, I will need advice from experts in several fields. Capital will make the process a lot easier as well, luckily I do have that part. So far the list I have come up with for experts is the following:
- Strong Accountant, who can offer assistance in all the ways of money and legally paying the least amount of taxes possible.
- A Real Estate Agent to help me find the best deals. This is something I have to do myself but guidance will be needed for someone who knows the area.
- A broker to talk with – not for them to invest for me, but someone who has long term experience with their own stocks.
One of the biggest things I will look for in my advisors are people that do what they are trying to help you do themselves. I don’t want an agent that doesn’t own any real estate, and I don’t want a broker with no stocks to their name.
Time will be my biggest obstacle in this goal. I have to continue to keep up my grades in college, as well as spend plenty of free time with Katie, my friends and my family. So I will need to learn to manage time better than I ever have before. I had thought of shutting down this blog because it takes time however that is not a good idea. Blogging helps me talk about what I am going to do, get feedback, and even helps me think about it myself as I write it.
If any of you are still reading by this point, I want to talk to you. Please comment on this post. Those of you that read thru all of the one thousand plus words of this blog post truely believe in me, and I welcome your support. Anyone else that thinks big like I clearly am here, let me know, thinking big is the only way to get big.
I am certainly not going to be able to play it safe on this, I will have to take managed risks to get where I want to be. My first goal is to make my money work for me, more than it does now. Every dollar is like another employee that works for free, twenty four hours a day to get me to where I want to be. This is going to be quite the ride – stay tuned 
Hey Coop,
I know you and I know you can do it. It’s certainly possible. But I do have a bit of advice.
1. People who become billionaires do not make their first billion from multiple concurrent strategies. They make it from one endeavor or repeated strategy.
2. You can make your billion from any of the 3 choices you mention, but the track record of anybody turning a few million into a billion in 3 years with stocks or real estate is very poor. The track record of potential for becoming a billionaire from establishing your own company is much greater.
Billionaires have been made in real estate and stocks/financial papers, but I think you’ll find that to do it in 3 years is a very rare occurrence.
I know you well enough to suggest that you expand on your area of expertise in developing internet based profits. You are pulling down enough cash to advertise the launch of a new startup. Buy a superbowl commercial or something.
Read a few more Kiyosaki books. He really makes a strong point that that best path to extreme wealth is to found a company, go public, and become a selling stockholder.
Please don’t think I’m naysaying. I believe you can become a billionaire with any of these methods, but that the likelihood of doing it in short order is far greater by founding a business(website).
In the interest of being prepared to go public, don’t use an LLC for your billionaire plan. LLC’s aren’t as venture capital friendly. You need something like a C-corp.
You Can Do It!
I really mean it XD
I’m going to hit you up for coaching b4 you get too busy though, cuz I know you’re gonna be on lockdown with your time getting to that goal.
Your time is going to have to become ridiculously precious to you. I still remember seeing Mark Cuban on some reality show complaining about how one the contestants wasted 30 minutes of his time.
I was kinda thrown back at first when he said that, but then i thought about it. Since he’s making millions a month, minutes of his time is probably worth ridiculous amounts of money to him because that’s what he generates from his business ventures. Time management is going to be crucial for you, as I’m sure it already is. Good luck bro.
Oh yeah, get ready to be obsessed
I think you have the first two steps down pact to get you towards your goal…1 – Setting your goal and 2 – getting rid of negative people that will discourage you from your goal. You’re so right… nothing is impossible. Think of people like Donald Trump! Several bankruptcies later he’s still rich! So never give up and continue working towards your goal
You’ve proven that you’re capable of a lot. I don’t think anyone can do what they put their mind to, but I think you can. Good luck, sir.
I wasn’t making excuses as to why I will not become a billionaire. So, in essence you are the retard for making such a stupid comment gxdia. The whole point was to give the advice of keeping the ambition.
Thanks for posting about this, I would love to read more about this topic.
First time here. I hope I can learn new things from you.
Does Zuckerberg have the money on the bank? Or is just part of the supposed value of FB? Two totally different things.
Anyway, I’d like to join the journey. Feel free to hit me up.
Hey Jeremiah, I can certainly relate to your position, being that I am also a college student, who is not the typical college student. I am really goal oriented, and I also do my best to balance between college + working on setting up my goal to be financially independent, and do it all before I even graduate from college. It’s something that most college students do not do, I am sure you know of the college scene, and how most students are. I do believe you can do it, you seem like a guy that’s has his mind in the right place.
Till then,
Jean
“you don’t tell yourself or anyone you can’t do it,you simple have to ask yourself – how can I do this?”
