Make a $1 Million in 1 year? Can be done?
- Thread starter water
- Start date
This is why I come to BGOL. It use to be porn for like a year. Last decade its all about threads like this...I've literally become self employed from the knowledge in a few of these threads.
Obviously there's no quick/easy how to make a mil guide so don't look at this article as that. It's one man's insight and it is one of the best entrepreneurship articles I've read in a while...

This cat takes your idea and makes it better, then he produces it and sells it and cuts you a royalty check. Bad part is he keeps the patent.

Spanx inventor Sara Blakely is a billionaire at 41 years old, according to the annual Forbes magazine list of billionaires.
Blakely, the creator and owner of the line of women's and men's slimming, smoothing undergarments, is the youngest woman ever to make the list as a self-made billionaire, meaning she didn't inherit or marry into the money.
She's one of several billionaires who appear on the cover of the latest Forbes issue.
According to Forbes, Blakely was 29 when she was looking for something flattering to wear under her white slacks. She ended up inventing a new line of shaping underwear. She invested $5,000 — her entire life savings — to start the company.
On Thursday, Blakely appeared on "CBS This Morning" and talked about her rise to wealth.
"I've always had that gratitude that I had the opportunity to pursue my potential," she said. "So I think my story says that, when women are given the chance and the opportunity, that we can achieve a lot.
"We deliver. We can make the world a better place, one butt at a time."
So true. If you don't do anything else as a small business, make sure your website is on point. Your website is your calling card, your first impression. If its tight then people will think your business is tight.
The PencilMeIn.com idea is great. I am going to kick around something similar and see if I can make it better.

let's say somehow, against all odds, somehow, you met her at some function and she and you started hitting it off, would you consider her for wifey material???

good drop. some people skip over good books/articles cuz the author puts millionaire in the title. the write it off as get rich quick schemes but alot of times its quality content but stats just show certain words in your title sell better than others.

you know im not mad at this. how many of us have good ideas that we have no time/ interest in developing but we know it would be a dope product. sure, i'll take royalties on an idea that was just gonna sit in my head till someone else decided to make it happen. specially if im already working on projects that are moving in a totaly different direction than this idea.
preach. i post in there like once a year at this point.
i think she invented spanx (the modern day girdle) not spandex but i colin powelled the article.
how's your project coming along?
yea i hear you. I just watch quirky on bloomberg. They went behind the scenes into the meeting room. All white staff and 1 asian..
Same scene all through out business. Meetings rooms where the sexy high paying positions discuss power moves are 99% white.
Actually because of threads like this I moved from messing with mobile apps. I am working on two major sites for startups.
One is on a major scale where I am targeting transactions, similar to Dwolla but looking to take on companies like Western Union and Moneygram. The other I went to Kickstarter to get the funds for.
But books like The Millionaire Fastlane I consider as a bible to anyone looking to formulate a bizness. I actually went and bought the book from the author on Amazon cause I felt like it was an education very rarely taught that I needed. I can't stress enough running any biz idea that you have thru the process in that book. Running Lean is another book that is great that I am still reading. Kaya, props for this thread, dropping bombs in here.
And don't worry as I progress I will be asking for support from the board to spread the word to sign up if possible. Both these businesses, everyone can use.
THAT ONE BROTHER FARRAH GRAY. I think he's Khalid Abdul Muhammad's son... first name is Farrakhan. IF HE IS KHALID'S SON AND HIS FIRST NAME IS FARRAKHAN WHY WOULD HE CHANGE HIS NAME? BUT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO MEET THE BROTHER AND SEE IF OUR ENERGY COULD RUB OFF ON EACH OTHER. I MYSELF THOUGHT I WOULD BE RICH YOUNG BUT NO WAY. I HAVE BEEN TRYING HARD AND SO FAR I AM FAR FROM MAKING MY FIRST MILLION. I HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY HARD AND I HAVE BEEN IN AMWAY, HERBAL LIFE AND DONE A LOT OF THINGS ALONG THE WAY.
I DO KNOW THAT THE WORLD'S BEST KEPT SECRET IS THAT OUR HEALTH IS OUR ONLY REAL WEALTH. ANYTHING ELSE IS BORROWED INCLUDING OUR LIVES.
EVERY MAN CONTROLS THERE OWN SURROUNDINGS. ONCE THEY LOSE CONTROL OF THEIR SURROUNDINGS THAT CEASED TO BE A MAN. BUT JUST THE FACT THAT EVERY MAN CONTROLS HIS SURROUNDINGS IS MORE PROOF THAT OUR HEALTH IS OUR ONLY REAL WEALTH UNLESS YOU ARE CONTROLLED BY AN OUTSIDE FORCE.
IT IS TRUE IN AMERICA YOU CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANT TO BE AS LONG AS AMERICA CONTROLS YOU. THERE IS NO WAY A GROWN MAN CAN TELL ANOTHER MAN WHAT TO DO UNLESS THAT PERSON CONTROLS THE OTHER PERSON. THAT IS WHAT WE ARE BORN INTO. AND MOLDED INTO. CONTROL BY AN OUTSIDE FORCE.
IN JONESTOWN THE PEOPLE WERE TOLD TO GO TO THE CLINIC TO TAKE THEIR DAILY VITAMINS. BUT IT WAS NOT VITAMINS THEY WERE TAKING. IT WAS MIND CONTROL DRUGS. THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT (CIA) RAN JONESTOWN. IT WAS AN EXPERIMENT ON MIND CONTROL AND HOW TO INFILTRATE BLACK ORGANIZATIONS.
THE WORLD IS BASED ON THIS SAME FOUNDATION. AND AT THE PRESENT TIME WE ARE STILL WAITING TO BE FREED BY SOMEONE THAT HAS SUCCEEDED IN BEING NATURAL AND NOT CONTROLLED BY THE WORLD. REAL FREEDOM. SOMEONE THAT CAN EVEN FREE US FROM THE ADDITION OF PROCESSED FOOD. FROM THE LAWS OF WORLD GOVERNMENTS. ETC.

thanks to you
guys i read fastlane and its similar to that author think and grow rich book but more modern version. I thought fastlane book was a quick feel good scheme type of crap book but its not.thanks for update.
I've had the book for awhile, but I keep thinking its going to be some tony robbins bullshit type of general advice like "believe in yourself" "dont take no for answer".
The kind of book you finish reading and realize this is reaaaally how these fucks are making their money...selling dreams
just not sure on this one
