*** I'm currently 7 months in. It's been a large learning curve, and I've opted out of certain projects because they weren't leading me to my goal.

As of now, there are two projects leading me to my goal and I could use advice on how to succeed with both of them.

1. Fashion accessory line

The line is called Lala Kay and I partnered with a fashion designer to make it a reality. She is the founder of a popular fashion blog called, "Disneybound".

2. Mobile App development

Following the principles in "App Empire" by Chad Mureta, I plan to release a large volume of apps by improving on existing apps in the marketplace.


Throughout the process, I've been interviewing millionaires for advice on my journey.

First Interview - Ben Stewart: CEO of Canadian Property Stars and 10x world Kickboxing Champ.

Second Interview - Kevin Thomason: Cofounder of PostRank.


http://vimeo.com/37862779


Third Interview - Andrew Teeple: Partner in The Madison Avenue Group (Real Estate Investor)

Not sure I am understanding.

You are planning on becoming a millionaire in the next 2 years?

If so how are you going to do that?

Oregano Gold is MLM. MLM is basically a job without any structure, you will never own Oregano Gold. I do know a guy who is doing well with it. Here is a better idea if you dont mind:

What is stopping you from finding a coffee wholesaler, buying different flavors and marketing the shit out of it with a MLM beneath you? Get all the people you know from Oregano Gold that are doing good and tell them they can offer your product too. (they'll eat it up because they are after money with no investment and a false illusion of owning your own business)

Make it cheaper (I know OG is expensive cause I drink it) and see if you can hype up your coffee for health benefits (without lying) as well.

Just an idea, best of luck to you. I love the millionaire by 25 thing. I too have that exact same goal.

When the idea and documentary began, I had no idea. I scheduled an interview with my the CEO of the company I used to work for for advice. From there I asked for a referral and through the guidance of millionaires, I've been doing projects that were recommended to me to do. The list of projects currently is in the original post.

The purpose of the documentary is to highlight what can happen when someone sets a goal and accomplishes it, no matter how large or small.

Thank You Kak. I am familiar with the MLM structure. Since starting in January, I have 162 people in my organization. It's been going really well. That is one of 4 projects. I don't want to turn this into an MLM discussion because there's too much controversy on the topic. I appreciate the support. Please keep in contact and let me know what projects you're working on!

I didnt mean any negativity to you or your aspirations BTW. I just thought you could leverage those people beneath you and maybe even over you in your MLM if done properly.

162 people who already do this stuff under you is huge and if you even got them to sell ANYTHING by you (not just coffee) you will be a millionaire very soon. Easily by 25. I wish I had commission only sales network like that. These are people who are highly enthusiastic about OG so im sure they would take on the same mentality about your offerings.

Hey Jack. Thanks for the advice. The MLM was a specific choice made by me for a purpose. Not because I agree or disagree with the distribution model but because I know how hard it can be to succeed in it. I want the challenge. I actually don't mind it.

Thanks for the advice though brother. filming the process is enjoyable.

Kak, sorry if I didn't make my response clear my friend! I tried to post the projects in the original post but I'm sure it's a lot of stuff on there and it's hard to find. As of now, here are the projects:



1st project I'm working on to hit the million (3 different websites. This is the first that's launched)


Old Sentiments | Old Sentiments -- it just launched yesterday in beta so there's still some bugs. check it out and submit your own old sentiments. I am aiming to get a book deal from this one and make money from advertising space and speaking engagements.

2nd project - Organo Gold MLM

3rd project - Real Estate Investing

4th project - Fashion Accessory Line with fashion blogger behind Disney Bound

Wow, good luck and I hope you reach your goals, should be a very interesting documentary if you do!

Questions:
Are you planning on all 4 companies to succeed to reach your 2 mill goal?
2 million gross profits or net? (probably net but worth clarifying :smxA:)

Oh and if you want to check this video out I saw it when it aired and your fashion accessory line idea reminded me of it for some reason haha: 15 year old selfmade millionaire girl! (Shark Tank) - YouTube

This one might be helpful in some way too if you ever are looking to get an investor in on it (maybe it wont be:smx4:):Sharktank Belt Buckle Venture - YouTube

Nice stuff man! I'm not a big fan of making it all about a number, but it is an ambitious goal and I like the steps you're taking now.

You really have the professional look nailed down in your videos, very nice. One tip, I'm watching the interview with your former boss and at times you swivel back and forth in your chair. It stuck out like a sore thumb to me because I have that problem too, and it can be distracting :)

Good luck and keep up the good work! Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Thanks for the support! My friend who was filming kept commenting on the chair swivel too. At first it wasn't on purpose but then I liked it because it highlights how nervous I am. It'll be a nice growth from pupil to expert over the two years. I try not to do it anymore ha!

Now THIS is an interesting concept. With the popularity of Tim Ferriss books and The Secret, I think this will be a phenomenal success, whether or not YOU, yourself, are successful.

Good luck!

Its SO crazy how close some peoples thoughts are on this thing... Here is a post that I posted on Facebook a few months ago.

"I'm seriously contemplating buying a video camera and doing a first person biography of myself And my life so I can show people the dream is still alive. Even though I'm past the struggle and on my way im contemplating starting it from today to the day I'm a millionaire. Gonna name it "********* *****".".....Crazy, Im 23 as well.

I watched your video about the concert and how people are constantly complaining about how life always throws them a curve ball. I am a firm believer in controlling my own destiny. I think you are on the right track man, I really do. You interviewing millionaires is awesome...no better way to become successful than associating and surrounding yourself with successful people. I am really interested in this post and will continue to watch your moves and your success. PM me if you want sometime man, im sure we could have some good feedback for each other and our ideas. I have a site that will be live next week, and have a six figure business that I basically set aside to make a transition to the web side of things. Seems like our business minds are a lot alike. Looking forward to your progress man!

I am 22 and i actually toyed with the idea of writing books from the perspective of someone who isnt a millionaire yet, but will make it happen.

Like instead if how I MADE my millions it would be: how i am going to be a millionaire. Its an awesome idea you have making the deadline 25. I look foreward to seeing the progress.

That's kind of the idea with the documentary. there's so many books written in past tense, but i haven't seen one that follows the journey.

Thank you. very kind words sir.

@ Mike39

My idea was that I wouldn't took all my eggs in one basket, I wanted to start multiple ventures, and whatever ones prospered i'd focus on and whatever ones didn't I'd drop.

goal is to earn one million dollars before taxes in my bank account.

I'm going to watch those vids in an hour from now! I'm trying to find a prototyper to design these illustrations. The fashion accessory line is the only one I'm concerned about, mainly because I have no experience in manufacturing or any of that stuff.
