So I recently turned 29 and after being a serious entrepreneur for the last 10 years and still not a millionaire or anywhere close. If I Had went to college and got well paying 9-5 like some of my peers I would finically be more secure than I am now BUT I would also be on prozac , triazolam, nexium, protonix , Dexmethylphenidate and many other medications that my peers living that kind of life are prescribed. I was diagnosed with A-D-D as a child and always had a hard time taking/following directions. Ironically the disorder that caused me so much problems in school and keeping a job has actually help me stick to being an entrepreneur I know there is no other option for me I dont sleep and night and dont take directions well who could I possibly work for besides myself! I will be building a brand this years and even if it doesnt net me a million in income I know it will provide over a million dollars in education that could never be taught at a university. If you feel frustrated or angry that you havent hit finical milestone you felt you should hit just keep working and keep feeding that fire your time will come.

Do you control your own business and platform?

Is your business unique and hard for others to copy?

How many people have you helped? What is the market demand like?

How removed from your time is you income?

For each person that you help what has the impact (value) been like?

Is it possible / has it been possible to help a lot of people at once? Do you have systems in place?

Let's try and salvage something here....

OP I think the best thing you could do is re-read TMF and Unscripted (if indeed you have read them at all). Then put all your focus on helping others, solving their problems. Doesn't matter what, doesn't matter how, doesn't matter if its scalable or profitable.

You are nearly 30 and have the mindset of a 16 year old. Pivot your approach, get humble, get real and win - or keep deluding yourself. Your choice.

You can be right, or you can be rich.

I don't judge. I was making a point about his original post, filled up with me/I/myself.

I also use that kind of posts to feel the temperature of the OP. Is he considering the replies, or is he in defense mode, throwing back instead of listening.

ok, so he used the word i and me too many times, sometimes I wonder, imagine we're not on a forum but we are all sitting in a room in person having a meetup about entrepreneurship, new guy walks in and introduces himself tells his story, do you turn around after hes finished and say "you said i and me too many times thats probably the pattern why you're broke", and then someone else chimes in and says "what you just said is absolute landfill and even though your 30 you have the mindset of of a 16 year old", I bet you guys wouldn't.

 

[PureA]

lol you guys so quick to judge, whys it landfill? Whys he got the mindset of a 16 year old?

Triggers:

• Blame ( I would have X if it wasn't for X)
• I,I,I
• Title (still not a millionaire at age 29? - jeez, why is life not gifting me what I deserve, so unfair.)
• Entitlement (see above)
• Inability to take onboard valid feedback
• Lack of humility (So self admittedly what you've been trying the last 10 years hasn't worked? How about get humble, prime yourself to learn and give new paradigms a shot - they might just be more effective.)
• Delusion (I haven't made my mill yet for the last 10 years, but I'm about to this year !! - I'm all for optimism, but objectively this isn't likely.)
• Attached to an irrelevant/abstract/non-relevant goal (why do you need a million right now? ego gratification? Cash chasing... How about starting a real business that helps thousands of people - I wonder what would happen if you did that? No, need, the, million.

That's all I got for now.

I'm sorry my friend but what is the fixation on becoming a millionaire? Im not sure if you've read the book or not, but I really hope you do. An unscripted life is not about acquiring F*ck you money (though that is a great side effect), but rather being able to do what you want, when you want, for yourself.

If you continue down the path of only caring about yourself, and not about providing value to others (as others said, "I, I, I") you will continue to stay in the circle that you are currently in.

Focus on providing value to others, caring for others, and I promise you that you will live a much better life, and the money will follow.

Your attitude when jumping into a forum and getting defensive when people start to criticize isn't a great start. From here on in I hope you can fix that, and realize how much value these people can provide you.

30 here and still not a millionaire either. Same story, been working at it for almost 10 years now. Don’t own a car and renting a simple apartment while people around me own houses and stuff working jobs they hate. But I’m committed to making it work no matter what. I’ve passed 6 figures a year but no where near a million yet.

Keep at it.

I read Sam Walton of Walmart didn’t make walmart what is was until like age 54 or something. Guess we can’t complain yet

 

[giovanni93]

I have some bad news for you...

You still might end up using Nexium (Esomeprazole) and Protonix (Pantoprazole) lol, those drugs are for acid reflux.

 

[GSF]

Blame ( I would have X if it wasn't for X)

i read it that he felt he'd be more financialy stable if he had a job like his friends but feels because of his add hes happier off being self employed even if he isnt successful yet, whats wrong with that.

Title (still not a millionaire at age 29? - jeez, why is life not gifting me what I deserve, so unfair.)

he didnt say he deserves a million lol its just a title

Lack of humility (So self admittedly what you've been trying the last 10 years hasn't worked? How about get humble, prime yourself to learn and give new paradigms a shot - they might just be more effective.)

how do you know he isnt learning and improving already

Delusion (I haven't made my mill yet for the last 10 years, but I'm about to this year !! - I'm all for optimism, but objectively this isn't likely.)

i didnt read it that hes going to make or is chasing a million this year, he says EVEN if he doesnt make a million the education of learning from doing business will be worth a million, seems pretty positive to me

Attached to an irrelevant/abstract/non-relevant goal (why do you need a million right now? ego gratification? Cash chasing... How about starting a real business that helps thousands of people - I wonder what would happen if you did that? No, need, the, million.

I just feel his last two sentences are his actual message he's trying to get across

 

[Hai]

If you´re still broke after 10 years, then this is because you keep doing things that don´t work.
What have you done before and why did it fail?
How is building a brand now different than 10 years ago?
Are you doing the same mistake again?

What is the ONE thing you can do so that by doing it, everything else gets easier or unnecessary?
If your goal is a fastlane business, then it may be the right education, experience, talking with people, securing funding, get an immediate revenue stream, finding a real problem etc. etc.
But most importantly, there is ONE thing you can do that makes building your business easier or unneccessary.

 

[Sander]

WTF thats not even a saying lol I'll give you props for effort though

See you in another 10 years, still struggling.

I bet most of the guys don't know the precise moment they hit a €1m line, because most of their money is invested in various business assets.

I dont know where your from but in the US business world you ALWAYS got to be on defense this is not the path for the weak, scared or one who is afraid of confrontation. Closed mouths dont eat

And open mouths don't make millions.

 

[NarcoBlings]

I actually have no debt so i wouldn't say im broke but definitely not a millionaire so if you want to call that broke then sure btw how many millions do yoy have?

If you´re still broke after 10 years, then this is because you keep doing things that don´t work.

The internet is full of people like this typing things they would dare say in public face to face it really doesnt bother me because I know it's something ill never have to worry about in a real life setting

So tell me what businesses have you been involved in the past 10 years?

Great ending!

Im also 29 and feel often the same. I guess it is normal to feel sad if you must accept(while nearing to your thirties) that you can never be rich-20-something. But then, whose fault is that?! All the more reason to try harder, add more value, fail more, study the market and avoid wasting time on action-faking...

I read Sam Walton of Walmart didn’t make walmart what is was until like age 54 or something. Guess we can’t complain yet

Just like Ray Crox, the guy that hijacked Mcdonalds and made it so successful. He was around 50 something years old and died before he could spend his billions of dollars.
