10) Let The Internet Work For YouThere are so many websites available these days, where all you need is a laptop or a computer sitting on your desk as your only investment. You just need to know where to look. There are microjobs, where businesses will pay workers tiny amounts of money (normally in the 20-30 cent range) to do menial jobs that take very little time to do. All you have to do is look up a few things on Google and they will instantly credit your account with money. There are also sites that pay you to use your computer to write for them. Places like Fiverr and Fourerr have a way where you can register your information and tell people what you will be willing to do for four or five dollars, and then you get hired by people who want that work done. It doesn’t seem like much, but if you are sitting at your desk all day long, that type of money can definitely add up quickly.
You can also buy your own domain name, and if you have the skills to design web pages, develop your own website. Businesses will pay you when you put their advertisements on your site and when people “click” on them. This is also a good way to start a business online. It may not be the quickest way to make money, but it just might work in the long run. And if you have companies advertising on your site, it’s like “killing two birds with one stone.”
Marry Someone Who Is Very Wealthy
This is definitely a lazy way to get rich, but undoubtedly, isn’t that easy. If you can find an incredibly wealthy man or woman, chances are, they are looking for someone who does not want them just for their money. You will get the money quickly (if they allow it), but in the long run you probably won’t be that happy. That’s if you are only marrying them for their cash.
3. Stop thinking about making a million dollars and start thinking about serving a million people.
When you have only a few customers and your goal is to make a lot of money, you're incented to find ways to wring every last dollar out of those customers.
But when you find a way to serve a million people, many other benefits follow. The effect of word of mouth is greatly magnified. The feedback you receive is exponentially greater, and so are your opportunities to improve your products and services. You get to hire more employees and benefit from their experience, their skills, and their overall awesomeness.
And in time, your business becomes something you never dreamed of, because your customers and your employees have taken you to places you couldn't even imagine.
Serve a million people -- and serve them incredibly well -- and the money will follow.
4. See making money as a way to make more things.
Generally speaking, there are two types of people.
One makes things because they want to make money; the more things they make, the more money they make. What they make doesn't really matter to them -- they'll make anything, as long as it pays.
The other wants to make money because it allows them to make more things. They want to improve their products. They want to extend their lines. They want to create another book, another song, another movie. They love what they make and they see making money as a way to do even more of what they love. They dream of building a company that makes the best things possible... and making money is the way to fuel that dream and build that company they love.
While it is certainly possible to find that one product everyone wants and grow rich by selling it, most successful businesses evolve and grow and, as they make money, reinvest that money in a relentless pursuit of excellence.
5. Make it your goal to do one thing better than anyone.
Pick one thing you're already better at than most people. Just. One. Thing. Become maniacally focused at doing that one thing. Work. Train. Learn. Practice. Evaluate. Refine.
Be ruthlessly self-critical, not in a masochistic way but to ensure you continue to work to improve every aspect of that one thing.
Financially successful people do at least one thing better than just about everyone around them. (Of course it helps if you pick something to be great at that the world also values -- and will pay for.)
Excellence is its own reward, but excellence also commands higher pay, greater respect, greater feelings of self-worth, greater fulfillment, a greater sense of achievement... all of which make you rich in non-monetary terms.
Win-win.
