I started with nothing. I went to college but did not graduate (why, it's a story but suffice it to say I was on the Dean's List"). But I got to know a lot of people in business and institutions as a result of many years consulting. I made a decent living but I really just want to get rich and get it over with! I know and have access to one of the richest families in the world and also a hereditary ruler of a country (and they know others). If I have a genuine, viable deal I can get it to the right people.

Does anyone have any ideas for the following goal:

"Earn US$100 million within 100 days."

Don't automatically dismiss this. Think about it? How about a mining property that was abandoned 100 years ago but now is very valuable due to current technology? This is just one idea of probably infinite. Does anyone have any ideas?

but I really just want to get rich and get it over with!

I get that you want money and a lot of people have access to really rich people, but it doesn't mean that said rich people will give you money, especially with claims you could make $100 million in 100 days.

You're trying to skip the entire journey and have us spoon feed you an idea so you can get rich quick and live the rich life with very little effort. Sorry, there is no shortcut. I've been on my journey for over 8 years and it takes a ton of work and late nights. If you continue to search for this shortcut, you'll never find it and never become wealthy.

Welcome to the forum.

Yes, and if anyone has any spare time, tell me how to get to $10 billion in 10 days.

Thank you for your spoon feeding in advance.
This forum really disappoints me. I gave valuable information and I was hoping for someone to augment or fill in the missing piece. Not everyone can know it all. I do know a billionaire and if I know the thing for sale I can get funding.

So I was asking if someone had some ideas. This forum appears to be for very conventional people - "Maybe I can make and sell t-shirts" type thinking. You got to expand you mind. People make money in all kinds of ways unimaginable. There's one guy who blends dyes (to be used by textile manufacturers); there's a guy who is a distributor for retailers, etc..

I'm talking about one sale where the profit is $100 million in 100 days. It can be done!

Have you read the books? The forum mainly follows what was written in Unscripted and TMF . Have you read them?

If I had an idea that would bring me $100m in 100 days, I wouldn't give it to you for free. I'd keep it for myself, along with the money. I think you'll find that is the case with everyone on this forum, and everyone on every other forum as well.

You're asking the wrong question. And, you're doing it in a way that annoys people. Essentially, you're saying, 'I don't want to do the hard work of thinking for myself. Please do that for me.' Then, when we tell you, 'no,' you get mad at us. This is bad thinking on your part. If you want to make serious money, you need to change how you think. Post haste.

There are dozens of people on this forum that have made a good deal of money. Millions of dollars. Stick around and learn from them. Start by reading the books MJ wrote.

Edit: The rich people that you know have already dealt with people with your current mindset. Probably hundreds of times. They have dismissed all of them. I would strongly advise you to not bring your ideas to them until you learn a few things about business. You don't want to burn those bridges.

Honestly the number of people who have ever made $100 million in 100 days can probably be counted on one hand, due to outside venture capital investments (which don't count because that's not really their money, just a speculative valuation) or similar. You probably do have valuable experience, the post just didn't really offer anything. This doesn't mean you don't have a lot of potential, you probably do, just not the right goal (make $100 million in 100 days).

That being said, are you already a billionaire? If so, yeah you could make a 10% return in 100 days.
Otherwise... This is a landfill post.

EDIT: also, even as a billionaire this would be incredibly unlikely. Let's say somehow you had $1 billion LIQUID net worth (not reasonable considering billionaires don't keep all their NW in liquid assets)...
You would then have to put all of your net worth into one project, investment, or stake with the goal of producing a 10% return in 100 days. It's just not a good way to think about investing, or business. Find the problems and customers first.

"Essentially, you're saying, 'I don't want to do the hard work of thinking for myself. Please do that for me.' "

That's not what I am saying at all! I'm saying that often someone needs to consult with another person to get information that they might not have. For example, using my original example of the mining property, I go to the site and take samples. But I don't know how to interpret the results. So I consult with someone with expertise. like a geologist.

I know people on this forum are not specialists in what I need (no one is) but because they have an interest in making money maybe they could come up with something. Even it they do it's only one piece of making it work. I have the rest of it. That's all I was asking. I have done numerous deals with experts and we shared in the final proceeds. Neither of us could have completed it ourselves.

My billionaire friend told me I could bring any deals to him and I have (that's how I got to meet him in the first place) but would not bring him anything that would not be viable. I need something where you can see the result. It's different then starting a business where there are unknowns to what ultimately will happen.

I think I have explained myself enough that if anyone has the right ideas you know with me it very well could work.

Dropshipping pet products from alixpress could get you around the 100 million mark, theres a known guy here that goes by the name of sanj mohad, he spends around 50 million on facebook ads, so that's about half way there

Dog toys to be specific, you could make billions and buy so many lamborghinis or ferraris. Then your billionaire buddy could take you out on his yacht and offer you a cash deal like in a bond movie to buy you out. It's perfect

You wouldn't want ideas from "conventional" people like us, who really disappoint you - you've got this!

Hi,
Sure it can be done. Any business model you think will work as long as you focus on a single thing.
(You never hear of billionaires with multiple businesses, aside from the Elon guy).

All I'd say is, before you make $100M in 100 days, you're going to go through hundreds, if not thousands of days. So making 100M in 100days sounds like an event. The process behind it seems less attractive to talk about.

I don't expect you to make that in your first 100 days even though it's possible. Why? We're the lowest version we can tolerate.

If you're okay with those expectations and still want to move forward, then hell yeah. I'd like to make that money too.

"Earn US$100 million within 100 days."

In my mind, it's important to have goals. And yeah maybe it's 100 million for you or maybe it's even one billion, but you have to start small. Your first goal should be 100$ and then 1000$ so on so on. For your goal, you just need to make 100$ one million times. Easier said than done. :) But it also would help if you hade a different goal then money, like helping other people. Building schools, support young artists, or feeding the homeless, whatever makes you happy. I for myself realized that I love success. But as much as I like succeding and money, the feeling of happiness if I can help somebody achieve their goals in much higher then if I only achieve my own vision. (may sound cheesy as hell but true for me, would recommend to try it at least once)

It's okay if your goal is money, but money is only a tool your goal should be different. For example freedom, and that could be reached with money, but doesn't have to. But you're missing the most important thing, which is either you need to provide something people need or fix a problem people have. Maybe your connections can help you buy a business, which already exists, and then you can implement your brilliant idea there, but in the first stage of finding an idea money can't do much.

How to get ideas?
First of all, if you're thinking about ideas you're not thinking about which idea can give you the most money. You need to think about all idea which comes to your mind. Even if it's a dumb idea at first glance. And write everything down. Everyone is in possession of a million-dollar idea. The problem is the selection of ideas. Then you go through all ideas and try to find something which suits your criteria. For example, my criteria are often the following: Does it already exists like this? Does a need exist for that? Is it able to be profitable? Is it something I believe in? Is it scaleable? and lastly and most importantly, does it help somebody?

I think the forum would like to help you to find an idea. But you may need to come with a little different approach. If you'd say: "I'd like to start a travel business which would potentially skyrocket as soon as a vaccine is available, but that's not my region of expertise does anybody has some suggestion of services which are needed after corona?" I'd be happy to help you.

That's the reason why you maybe think that the answers for example from @CrimsonNight or @Jon L are rude or anything but that isn't true. If you want help from others you need by helping yourself first. If you're on the side of the road, because your car doesn't work and you try to signal driving cars that you need help, the chance of help is slim. But if you try to fix it yourself and do something, sooner or later somebody will come and help you with your problem.

This shouldn't be a lecture, I just wanted to help. If you need anything or I can assist you to find a suitable idea I'd gladly help. Hope it didn't come across as rude or anything.

Cheers

Dude... just look at the news, there are $100 mil & $100 billion dollar problems everywhere.

Sudan and their lacking infrastructure/sewers that cause flooding.
Yemen - lack of food.
Zimbabwe and rest of Africa and parts of South America and their problem with poor governance and corruption.

There are problems EVERYWHERE. Just open your eyes. I'm sure you have million dollar problems in your own city - with people being affected by the lockdown and losing their jobs etc.

Now that you have like 5 examples of $100 million dollar problems that need solutions, what are you going to do?!

"Dude... just look at the news, there are $100 mil & $100 billion dollar problems everywhere. "

Now that's the type of thinking I was after! Thanks.

The key though is to have something to sell and be able to sell it for more than your cost. For example, if a certain country needs clean water maybe there is a company that can provide equipment where the payback is very economical. For example, water purification system costs $100 million. I sell it to the government for $200 million. This a bargain for the government because the payback is 5 years. Before it would have been 50!
