You don’t have to be born into money to have money now.
Today, we lay out a few different paths to explore if you want to become a self-made millionaire. We’ll tell you which we’re on, talk about the benefits or downsides of each, and provide some insight on how you can make more money now.
We cover:
- Becoming a high-income earner with a company or employer.
- Starting a business or freelancing.
- The importance of investing, and the multiple ways you can do that, from investing in the market to real estate to investing in other businesses.
We want you to understand the potential paths available to you, to know that you do have some choices here — and then to make the choice and take action.
You can take actions to change your financial situation, earn more money, and become a self-made millionaire.
