Hello
readers..~
While searching
in the internet, I met an article that really attrack me. HOW I BECAME RICH
BEFORE 30 AND HOWYOU CAN TOO.
Sound
interesting right? This article written by Aaron Pitman. Here’s the article..
If there is one universal truth, it’s that everyone is looking
to get rich quick. This probably explains why so many people are willing to
believe there’s a Nigerian prince out there with their email address, ready and
willing to mail them money. Truth is, whether looking for your dream job or
starting up a new company, too many young people are looking to strike gold as
quickly and easily as possible.
As someone who made my first million before I turned 30, the
question of how to become a young millionaire often arises. Unfortunately, I
don’t know of any magic pill to take or button to press to become instantly
successful.
For starters, I followed the 10,000 hour rule of mastering any
subject, deferring parties in college to spend sleepless nights
working on business plans with a select group of other broke overachievers.
Along with my 13 other roommates, I spent most of my formative “party” years
working hard, mastering skills and eating a lot of Ramen noodles.
I know it’s possible to become wealthy early in life if you have
the drive, determination and ambition to succeed. Here are a few tips that
helped me achieve success and just might help you, too.
1.
Confess and Attack
As a young worker, most people will see your age as your biggest
hurdle and most pressing handicap. But the truth is that your youth just might
be your biggest advantage.
So many of the people I networked with and contacted were older
(sometimes much older) than myself. Often, these people knew they wanted to get
hooks into the online space but just didn’t understand how the game was played
online. They were actually looking for someone hungry and motivated, but best
of all, they were looking for someone who had grown up around technology and
understood the market.
Still, there is definitely a real perceived disadvantage to
being a young and “inexperienced” worker or entrepreneur. This is when I began
to formulate my “confess and attack” strategy. I would tell potential business
partners the fairly evident truth: I’m young. But this doesn’t mean I don’t
know what I’m doing or that I haven’t put in the time and energy to become an
expert in my field.
Once I confessed what we both knew and explained my skills, I
would attack their preconceived notions. I would push the conversation back to
them, explaining if they weren’t comfortable with me or my team after
understanding my skills, then perhaps we weren’t a good business fit.
I took back control of the situation and found business partners
who actually believed in me and my ability to succeed, instead of jittery
investors ready to bail at the first signs of trouble.

Your Socializing Can Determine Your Success
As a young job seeker or entrepreneur, your network is key.
Think of the old saying, “Show me who your friends are and I’ll tell you who
you are.” This is as true for the business world as it was when your mom said
it about that one friend you had in high school who was always trying to get
you to skip class.
According to motivational speaker Jim Rohn, we are the average
of the five people we chose to spend the
most time with. We will often emulate the people we’re closest to
and, if those people are successful, your own chances of success rise in
proportion.
If your five closest companions are highly motivated and
successful individuals, these traits will likely spur you to work even harder.
In fact, a study showed people who shared goals with others were 33% more likely to
achieve those goals.
In my own experience, spending time with successful people has
allowed me to meet interesting individuals and expand my professional network.
The relationships I’ve fostered have been sincere, allowing me to help others
as much as they offer guidance and support.
For instance, I had a contact at the NFL who introduced me to a
former player he knew who was influential in our industry. We shared business
ideas and became fast friends. One night, I got a call from this player
inviting me to attend a party he was throwing.
Once at his gathering, I had the opportunity to connect with
many influential and successful people. In college, I didn’t spend much time
socializing because I was putting in my 10,000 hours, now I was chatting with a
well-known tennis star. A big part of my current social life is surrounding
myself with successful people who understand what I’m working toward and can
attempt to help me reach my goals. Connecting with the right movers and shakers
is extremely effective for allowing you to see what direction your own path to
success might take.
Unfortunately for us all, money doesn’t fall out of the sky or
grow on trees. The good news, however, is that nothing is holding you back from
being successful at a young age. You just need to work hard, have confidence in
your abilities, and surround yourself with positive and successful people.
