3 Essentials to Becoming a Millionaire Before You’re 30

There are so many people today who think that their twenties are a time where they must struggle financially. However, this doesn’t have to be true. There are in fact ways to become a millionaire before you hit 30. If you dream of becoming a millionaire in your twenties, here are 3 of the most important things to keep in mind to achieve financial success beyond what you may have never dreamed possible.

 

1. Ignore traditional industries.

Lawyer or doctor is not on a path to becoming a millionaire in your twenties. Those professions require many extra years of schooling, which costs a lot of money. You will likely be repaying your student loan debt well into your thirties, or even later. Plus, individuals with these jobs often have a very real earning ceiling that is difficult to break through. You may never reach millionaire status.

Focus on new industries, such as Internet marketing. In today’s social media-centric world, jobs such as Internet marketing do not have an earning ceiling and don’t require a lot of training or education. Consider the balance between cost of education and earning potential.

 

2. Don’t focus on making millions.

If your focus is making millions, or how much money you can make from a venture, you will never achieve as much success as you could by focusing on making the best company that you can. Plus, if you put that quality product or service out into the public and eventually earn millions, you will start to feel very proud of yourself for the product you made, the work you did and the reward you received for this type of hard work.

Focus on making the best product and service possible.

 

3. Focus on what you love and fix a problem.

To fully invest yourself in an industry and make millions, be sure you are focusing on what you love so it doesn’t seem like work and sacrifice to get your business off the ground.  Focus not only on the right industry for you but on fixing a problem within that industry, so you know it has value to your consumer base.

Don’t allow a lack of technical skills to hold you back. You can always find technical skill. What you can’t just “find” is true passion or heart. Regardless of what niche you choose, make sure you are in love with it first. You would be surprised by how far true passion can take you. It just may be able to take you to that million dollar status you have been dreaming of.
