Where Do Your Millions Go?
Hello, my friend and future millionaire.
Welcome to this episode of The Money Wheel.
My name is Don Shade.
Today. I’m going to share a story with you.
A couple of weeks ago, I was at an oyster feed at Allegion.
And what happens at these oyster feeds, there’s always a bunch of people there and you pay one money for a ticket and they have drinks there and all you can eat.
This was oysters for example, but anytime I go to one of these events, I always make sure that I’m wearing one of my t-shirts.
It says on the back, “Ask me how I can make you a millionaire”, because you never know who you’re going to run into at one of these events.
Well, as the afternoon went on, a guy asked me “What does that mean on the back of your shirt? What do you do?”
And I said, well, I help people build online businesses and I show them how to build a million dollar roadmap to get them financially free.
And he looks at me and he says, wow, that sounds like a get rich, quick scheme.
I said, you know, you need it to be a, get rich, quick scheme.
And I pointed out an example to him. I said, have you made over $25,000 a year for your working career?
He said, oh yeah, I made a lot more than that.
What? The example I pointed out to him was this: if you make $25,000 a year and your work career is 40 years, that’s a million dollars. So, you’ve made well over a million dollars in your lifetime. This guy was retired, so where was the money?
Well, he bought a house and a couple of cars and I put kids through college and all the normal stuff in life. And that’s what happens to most people.
It’s not that they plan to fail, but they fail to plan.
You’re probably in the same boat as everybody else out there and you think that you’re going to make well over a million dollars in your lifetime, because let’s say it took you to age 25 to get to the point where you were really making decent money.
You got to a point where you’re making, let’s say over $50,000 a year and you do that for quite a few years.
You’re getting closer to the $2 million level. And what happens to people when they look back over their life, they can’t account for that $2 million.
Here’s exactly what the million dollar roadmap will do for you.
Number one, it helps you account for the money that you’re making.
In other words, we’re looking to double your income.
We’re not looking to have you save your way to wealth.
We’re going to show you how to earn that income.
You have to be able to do it relatively quickly, otherwise the money just slips away.
You know, most people don’t have enough self-discipline to save their way to a million dollars.
I know I certainly don’t unless I have a high, monthly income and the way we get that high, monthly income is to build your online business.
So I just wanted to share that story with you and kind of how it made me think about things.
To be honest with you, the guy didn’t like the conversation, but he knew that what I was saying was right.
It really made him think, and he avoided me the rest of the afternoon, and that’s fine, obviously, when you do what I do, you think differently than everybody else.
What I’m here to do on the money wheel is to help you think differently and be in a different financial position than most people.
That’s everything I have for today.
We’ll see you next time on The Money Wheel.
