You often hear about experts who teach people to become millionaires practically overnight. That’s a hard promise to deliver! Unless that expert plans to live with you, invest with you and give you their absolutely no-fail, step-by-step system, it’s not likely to happen. If it was that easy to become a millionaire there would be a lot more wealthy people on the planet.

Becoming a millionaire from your own expertise takes time and a high level of commitment to achieve. There are a lot of factors that come into play in becoming a millionaire. Millionaires have traits and skills that most other people don’t possess; they think and act differently. They have the right mindset, a high level of focus and determination to achieve their goals. They are more willing and more open to taking risks. They also understand how to develop successful strategies to grow their business. And one important thing that the majority of them have in common is that they know how to develop multiple streams of income. Millionaires rarely have just one stream of income.

Did you realize that to become a millionaire you’ll need to generate an average of $83,000 per month, for one full year? That’s a lot of money. So you’ll need some streams of income that don’t require much of your personal time so that you can work on growing your business. This is called passive income.

You may already be a millionaire and you’re working to grow your business to an even higher level. If so, good for you. I understand the level of commitment it takes to get there. Your first million is usually the hardest to achieve. Once you’ve reached this high level of success, you most likely have reached the top of your niche market and have achieved a certain level of celebrity status from your expertise and experience. You would also have a team and systems in place that allow your business to continue to grow with ease. However, if your income level is nowhere near millionaire status just yet, it’s going to take some time and a lot of focus to get there. One way to move you up the income ladder faster is to develop multiple streams of income that flow to you on a consistent basis.
