What does it take to become a trillionaire? With the likes
of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos still miles away from becoming kings
of the world, it’s still a mystery to who will clinch the highly coveted
trillionaire status. Who knows, it
might just be you...yes you, watching this video right now ;)
Welcome to iRicher-where high-quality content meets
high-quality people.
Today, we’ll take a look at the subtleties involved in
transforming your life from a couple of grand a month to billions
and billions. So, are you prepared for a trillion-dollar lifestyle?
Number Seven: Break from society’s “boring” norm
Corporate ladders...aren’t they too damn long? I mean,
by the time you get to the top, your hair has already turned
whiter than the peaks of the Himalayas!
Unfortunately, so many of us spend a sizable amount
of our lives chasing perfection at our workplace; we forget to
realise that we’re making money for others!
So while you slave away at your desk creating the perfect
presentation to actualise the merger that’s due for tomorrow,
a unanimous billionaire is
somewhere laughing all the way to a Swiss bank account.
Figuratively speaking:
Because in real essence, they’re actually lounging
majestically in the Presidential Suite of the Burj Al Arab.
*sigh*
For you to realise a trillion-dollar lifestyle, you have to quit
the rat race right now. Yes, I mean now. You see, trillions don’t
come by playing the game as
per the rules. You’ve got to revolutionise the world,
shake up the way things are done around here.
Okay, I’m not saying you should invent the next iPhone
or anything...or can you?...but something that will question
the very fabric of society itself.
Can you do that? Can you transform life as we know it?
Sit down and really think about what you can do to change either
the industrial, technological, social or economic industries of the world.
Oh, and don’t forget, you’ve got to quit the rat race!
Number Six: Become a dreamer
“I believe I can fly…I believe I can touch the sky”.
There have never been words that have wrung so closely
to the hearts of those whose dreams seem unattainable.
Well, the truth is, they are.
You see, it’s not wrong to be a dreamer, like so many
of us are discouraged from doing.
If anything, dreaming is the best way to go about a life plagued
by so many rules and regulations. It’s the execution of the
A dream can be beautiful, especially if it is followed by an
indomitable will to actualise it.
Dream all you can. Let your creativity reach every corner
of this world! But don’t forget to invest in your dreams, if people
have dreamt billions of dollars
ideas with the time they have, imagine
what you can do with yours?
And that’s why it’s no surprise that the most successful
people are the most innovative. The dreamers. Not the hard workers,
or the teacher’s pets, or the monitors, but the dreamers.
So dream and actualise! Dream and actualise!
Number Five: Become an entrepreneur
I bet you heard this line over and over and over again.
And frankly, you’re finding it boring, right?
But the truth is, starting a business is the only way you’ll
make it to that trillion-dollar status. Bear in mind, I’ve said
starting A business not YOUR
business. Which simply means that in the world of
entrepreneurship, you don’t always have to do it alone.
In fact, entrepreneurship can work in one of two ways.
Either you decide to come up with an amazing idea that will revolutionise
the way the world works, inevitably changing people’s lives. Or you
can invest in the innovative
ideas of others and work towards making those ideas succeed,
all the while taking a sizable chunk of the profits.
Both are excellent ways of generating billions of dollars...
which, if patient, could translate to that amazing trillion.
Number Four: Live in your discomfort zone
Sounds insane, right? I mean, aren’t you chasing that
trillion to live an extremely comfortable life?
The answer is Yes and No.
You see, most wealthy and successful people didn’t get
to where they are right now by living their lives in the comfort zone.
Granted, some had the right name, but a majority spent hours
pouring their blood and sweat into making their ideas and investments
work for them.
So, to live comfortably, you’ve got to get very used
to living an uncomfortable lifestyle. This could mean spending
sleepless nights working
on a project concept that could change the world.
It could mean killing your social life completely.
It could mean dropping bad
habits to have a more productive lifestyle.
Are you willing to sacrifice comfort for pain?
Remember, the first million is the hardest, but then it gets easier.
And then the easier it gets, the faster you climb, adapting
to discomfort is everything
when it comes to achieving generational wealth.
Number Three: Save and don’t make any exorbitant purchases
In your quest for trillionaire status, one principle that you’ll
have to live by and be mindful of is how you spend your
money, and how much you save.
Yes, I get it that you’re only human and that there are times
you just want to splurge and go on a wild shopping spree.
I get that your partner wants to go to the Bahamas.
But can’t it wait until you’re financially secure?
Extravagance is a luxury, not a necessity. So treat it that
way by being mindful of your savings. As a rule of thumb,
I advise you to use only 50% of
your income on your needs, 30% on potential investment
opportunities, and the remaining 20% should be geared
towards your savings.
And that’s how the wealthy operate!

Number Two: Seeking assistance from others and form coalitions
It’s one of the greatest misconceptions that the path to
wealth is built in a cutthroat, lonely world where success
is only for the chosen few.
If anything, nearly all wealthy people use their influence,
and those of their wealthy friends, to increase their net worth
and those of their close associates.
They have come to understand that people are genuinely
pleased to help
them navigate the twists and turns that come with life.
After all, helping them achieve greatness is also their
path to becoming wealthy, right?
Therefore, make it a habit to seek help from others
and extend a helping hand to others as well.
You can do this by investing your precious time in soaking
in self-help books such as, How To Win Friends And Influence
People to help you improve your social interactions.
One thing about most wealthy people is that they
understand that complaining and criticising others isn’t the way to go.
If anything, helping others is always an investment
that will increase tenfold. But you just have to know the
right people to help.
Number One: Be optimistic
Our last piece of advice is a little obvious,
but it holds a lot of weight.
See, luck doesn’t exist. It’s an event that is created
from days, weeks or even months of calculated planning.
To become a trillionaire, you have to be optimistic
that the universe will provide you with everything that you need
to actualise your dreams.
You also have to work smart to change your fortunes
and achieve all that you’re dreaming for.
With this mentality and the skills that you will pick up
over time, you will inevitably find yourself ranking in Forbes as the
first trillionaire in the world.
