If I want to become a millionaire, where do I start?


We may work very hard and never become a millionaire.
We can have a fancy college degree, an MBA, even doctorate studies and never become a millionaire.
We may have a network of hundreds of “contacts” and never become a millionaire.
So, to answer your question, if you want to become a millionaire, where should you start?
Start by changing your perspective of work:
Develop a leverage mindset.
·         We need to stop selling our time. Instead, learn how to use other people’s time.
·         We need to stop using our own money. Instead, learn how to use other people’s money.
·         We need to stop pursuing technical skills. Instead, learn how to use other people’s skills and talents.
·         We need to stop being the operators of automated tools. Instead, learn how to use automation to our benefit.
The ways to create wealth have changed:
In the Agrarian Age, wealth originated from nature.
In the Industrial Age, wealth originated from machines.
In the Digital Age, wealth originates from information and knowledge.

Why do millennial have more student loan debt than any other generation?

The lost generation: Today’s children get prizes and awards merely for participating — this sends a DANGEROUS message to kids: “We’re all winners.” This mindset is repeated continuously at the end of each project, event, or season. As a result, kids grow up expecting awards and praise just for showing up — (by the way, this sounds like socialism.) This mindset leaves kids terribly unprepared for the harsh realities of capitalism. Capitalism is ruthless. It rewards only winners, not just anyone that shows up to ‘work.’ Today, these kids are being offered an irresistible deal: “Go to college, and don’t worry; you can pay the massive college tuition with credit, and whenever you find a job with your ‘valuable’ degree, you can pay it back later.” “I MUST participate!” So, here they go to “participate,” at a mediocre college, to study a mediocre (and outdated) degree, to finally, AGAIN, get a “participation reward,” called a degree... Now, here comes real life: There’...

What happens to the founders after big tech acquisitions?

Whats App  was founded in 2009 by Brian Acton and Jan Koum — both former employees of Yahoo! In September 2007, they took about a year off for traveling around South America. After buying an iPhone, they saw opportunity in the growing App Store. In February 2009, they incorporated Whats App Inc. in California. After many bugs and failures, the app suddenly started to gain momentum. With growth, however, the costs quickly started to add up, so they occasionally switched the app from "free" to $0.99 so they wouldn't grow too fast. A few years later, in February 2013, Whats App's user base had grown to about 200 million active users and 50 employees. Sequoia would invest $50 million, valuing Whats App at $1.5 billion. In February 2014, just a few months after Sequoia’s round, Facebook, Inc. announced it was acquiring  Whats App  for US$19 billion  — its largest acquisition to date. What happened to the founders after Whats App's acqu...
