I hope that by this point, you have taken some of my tips and are well on your way to your first million. I have always said that it doesn't take brains or luck to make a fortune. All you need is perseverance and creativity. Now that you are reading my column, you don't even need the creativity anymore. I will take care of that for you. All you need is the perseverance.
Of course, you don't even need much of that. The proven solutions I have written about will start making you money if you persevere for about two weeks. Of course the big money comes in if you continue to work for a year. Notice, I did not say "work hard." I do not believe in hard work. Hard work is for guys who build bridges and dig ditches. I believe in easy, well-paying work. I think this is the attitude that you should adopt also -- it is the attitude of those who want to own yachts or pet zebras or a thousand other things that no one needs.
You know what else is for dummies? Paying retail. If you want to be super rich, don't pay retail for anything. I never do. It's not that I can't afford it. There is very little that I can't afford. Its just the principle. You are the rich guy. You are in control. You will not let some shopkeeper tell you how much something cost. Go to the Rolex Store if you need a watch. Pick one nice one out that cost $10,000. Then tell the guy behind the counter you will buy it for $7,000. Do not offer $7,000. Just tell him you are buying it for that price. If he starts to complain, look him in the eyes and say again -- slowly -- "I will take this one for $7,000." Trust me, he won't argue if you look like you mean business.
Now, take that $3,000 you just saved and waste it by going to a game and renting a luxury suite. Leave at half time. Just so that everyone knows that the $3,000 means nothing to you. Now that's the way to live!
