How To Become A Millionaire In 7 Easy Steps

Who wants to be a millionaire?

Well, if you want that million dollars, perhaps you'll get lucky enough to land a spot on ABC's popular game show bearing that name. Simply give the right answer to all the questions and you'll walk away with the million dollar prize.

Or, you could get on a hot streak, pick the right 7 numbers and win the lottery. But unfortunately your chances of winning are 1 in 22 million.....so we'd better forget that.

But maybe you know about this incredible get rich quick plan where you don't have to do much of anything, simply join up free, then in a year or so, you'll be the Net's newest millionaire. Well, if that plan has worked for you....please write me ASAP! :-)

But for all the rest of us, we need some practical advice on what will really make us our fortune.

Making money is easy. There are mathematical laws that govern how money will work for you over time, reaping greater and greater rewards. These laws are laid out in detail in the book, “The Working Life Of A Dollar.”

Here's what you need to do:

  1. Write down your present monthly income and expenses. Next, see where you might be wasting money on foolish items. Where can you cut expenses and use that money for your future? Plan a monthly budget, and stick to it.

  2. Get out of debt. Just as money compounds interest going up, it also drains money out of your pocket when you pay out interest. Only make purchases on your credit cards when you have the cash in hand to cover the expense. If you have a habit of over spending every month, cut your cards up!

  3. Always pay yourself first. A minimum of 10% of your monthly income should be reserved for your future. The more you can pay yourself, the quicker your financial goals will be met.

  4. Give a portion of your earnings to help others less fortunate. Just as the mathematical laws governing the compounding of interest are unbreakable, this is a Spiritual law that is unbreakable. You must be willing to freely give before you can rightfully expect something to come back to you.

  5. Pick a proven investment vehicle to place your money. The easiest investment is to pick a top performing diversified domestic growth mutual fund. Your fund should have averaged a rate of return of at least 20% over the last 3 to 5 years.

    Spend $1.00 and pick up a copy of the Investor's Business Daily newspaper. Every day they publish a mutual funds table. Only choose a fund that is A rated or better.


  6. Invest monthly into this fund and reinvest all dividends. Many people do not have the discipline to save money every month. If this is the case, choose the option to have money automatically deducted from your paycheck or checking account.

  7. Don't panic. Understand there are business cycles and market cycles. Bear markets typically last from 9 months to 2 years. Buy as many shares of your fund as possible during Bear markets.

    Big returns are always made by sitting through several market cycles. To get these returns you must have the patience and belief to sit tight and add to your holdings during down market cycles.

That's it! Simple and easy to do. Now all you have to do is get started.

We have put up a special Web page for you that will explain all about funds and exactly how to pick the right fund for your objectives.

Reader Profile

One of our readers, Chris Stephenson wrote me this letter after he received one of my thank you e-cards. We thought this story might not only be interesting for you, but also a source of inspiration.


“I am a 51 year old grandfather of two beautiful boys. This June I will be celebrating 33 years of marriage to the most terrific woman (for me) in the known world. I would be remiss if I did not mention our two kids. Kids, ha! That's a laugh. My daughter is 32 this year and my son 31. I mention them for we are happy with the adults our kids have become and more so since I am positively thrilled at our relationship.

“Having gotten married at 18, I still had a lot of 'growing' to do when suddenly I was the father of two children. Due to this, I was not the father then that I would be now. But over the years, thanks to my loving wife and a loving & forgiving Lord - I have changed. A lot.

In order to refine a metal, like gold, it must be heated at tremendously high temperatures so the impurities will surface to be poured off. This is usually done in a big sort of pot called a crucible. I think that most of us go through the 'crucibles of life' and are given the choice to become changed by them, or jump out and continue on. Me, I chose to jump out the first few times. Then I heard a sermon explaining that if we avoid the struggles of life, we miss out on the lessons intended for us. Dodge the tuff stuff - avoid the lesson - do it again later. I got the message. So I stopped 'jumping out' and endured. Due to the changes in me, my children and I have become the best of friends.

My wife Martha and I have been self employed for 25 years. I have been fairly disabled for the last 5 years due to several back injuries over a period of years that led to 2 spinal fusion surgeries, the last in 12/00. When that may change is still unknown. The severity of the problem forced us to sell our Travel Agency, which Martha ran. She now does outside sales from an office in our home so she can be there when I need her.

I have had to spend 15-20 hours a day in a hospital bed in my home for most of the five years. In one way it has been a Godsend, as I was forced to learn the computer & Internet to keep my sanity. As one door closes....another opens.

That led to my taking my marketing business online so that I can make money from bed. It also brought me to start IdeasWIN e-Zine a year ago. I started it as a supplement to my online business and it took on a life of it's own. I had always wanted to write and it proved a viable outlet for that.

We still have lots of challenges (don't we all) and lots of blessings and are doing our best to wring all the life there is out of our lives.
