Free registration at the forum removes this block.Guys, I agree that this was not the most eloquent way to ask this question, this was probably the first thread I started. I meant it to be read as a how-to question so that people would be more interested in the thread but given the responses it seems that this "tactic" has backfired
In any case, I'm glad that I started this thread because I did get some very helpful suggestions that I started acting upon and will hopefully be able to share some good results with you soon.
This question is asked all of the time. Everyone that has this question needs to listen to this interview from minute 4:45 - 13:00. The whole interview is good to listen to while you work...
General ideas and suggestions are ok but I really would like to hear from people who have been successful at achieving this (or at least tried) so that we can all benefit from your experiences.
i would like to kno this as well lol
You're speaking for yourself. I'm sure one person isnt so stuck up like most millionaire's are.
And you're obviously the self centered type. And i doubt you have a real social life either way. You mean to tell me, everyone who is sucessful, WILL NOT give any advice to us poor folks? Lol.. Some logic you have there Supa... Hey, If you're not gonna give good advice please keep your 2cents to yourself.
You have enough time to bash me for asking a question. People like you dont deserve to be rich (If you even are)
BTW, a few people have already PM'ed me offering to give me some advice. SO you're "logic" is flawed, mr grumpy.
No, this is not a step by step process on how to do it. This is a question that I have always had and never could find the answer to.
I’ve spent God knows how much on “coaching” but I came to the realization that coaches may be great at showing you how to become a coach but they can’t take you where they have not been able to go themselves. Given that I have the goal to become wealthy and in the spirit of this forum I think millionaires will make for some great coaches (pending other factors such as personality types and ability to teach etc.)
Which brings up back to the original question. If you were to search for and approach local millionaires, how will that look like? I’m emphasizing the “local” part due to the importance of the face to face interaction, this might not be necessary though surely helpful.
I'm also interested in knowing what do millionaires get from mentoring other people, I get that it's helping others, but what is specifically about that that moves them? Is the monetary compensation still needed? I'm asking because I'd like to know what can I give in return and make it win-win.

That's what I though when I read TMF and joined this forum a year ago.F*ck that. Skip all steps. Go straight to millions. The end.
Maybe I should sell my company for millions, now.F*ck that. Skip all steps. Go straight to millions. The end.
Software...we're doing custom work currently, and have a few larger product-based projects in the hopper. We've run out of enough custom work right now, so we're refocusing on getting that going again to support the other activity.What's your fastlane pursuit at the moment Jon?

He recently sold the company for a ridiculous amount of money...
Could you explain a little bit more those experiences??so I have moved several times. in the past 20 yrs.
new town, new people
everywhere I go, I meet millionaires.
how is that even possible?
perhaps its my mindset, or my expectations, or I just know who to talk to.
very likely I just hang out with the right crowd.....
or I have learned to ask better questions.
I would love to read this zen***** thread, but was unable to find it. Could somebody please post a link?Oyyy...Are you even trying?
Please leave this thread and use the forum search feature immediately. Then come back to this thread and tell us what your plan is.
BTW - You need a complete mindset shift if you think someone is going to mentor you for free. Provide value to others (this is your payment to them - not always money) and expect nothing in return.
Go read IceCreamKids zen******* thread. All of it.
And maybe don't read replies in this thread until you did the above. It might get brutal.
