    Does it annoy you when people pull the "the first million is easy"

    The worst part is, it comes from millionaires who are actually pretty down to earth and willing to help.... I just don't think they realize how much of a "rub your face in the dirt" remark that is.

    If it were truly that easy, the majority of the people in the world would have done it.. right? The fact of the matter is that it's not easy.. be proud of yourself.... but don't try to make us feel bad about it.

      Well, I think they say this because they are already multimillionaires and work on more complex deals and from their perspective their first Million was easy compared to what they do now.

          I know some millionaires and some of them tell me that the first one is the hardest because it takes money to make money........

          and others say that the first one is easy

              I always only heard that the first one was hard and that it gets a lot easier thereafter which is true to my mind for various reasons...

                  In Poland they say "you have to steal the 1st Million".

                      This stuff is complicated as shit.

                      No, the first million is the hardest. IT's the second million that's a breeze once you get in teh groove.

                          Well, seeing how they say the "first" million, then they must mean "compared to the other millions".
                          It's relatively speaking.. Now promote PimpRoll and earn your millions, it's easy, hehe

                                  No, I know... I can understand where they are coming from, but I still find it pretty belittling.

                                  Anyone (the majority of people) who haven't had $1mil in their bank account don't really need to hear that it's "easy"... if you can't achieve something, you don't need someone telling you it's easy because that just makes you feel worse about not achieving it.

                                              KRL had a post a while ago where he pointed out that if you had a great year, you multiply it by 40 to realize how hard you have to work to keep it up and make that huge number. So he is a pretty smart guy and he sort of makes it all seem hard, and you have to work for it.

                                              And the obvious thing is it is not easy or we would all be millionaires. The second million is not easy or all millionaires would have 2 million.

                                                  The first million is the hardest, or you're just at the right place at the right time.

I just don't think they realize how much of a "rub your face in the dirt" remark that is.

                                                                                                                                                              If it were truly that easy, the majority of the people in the world would have done it.. right? The fact of the matter is that it's not easy.. be proud of yourself.... but don't try to make us feel bad about it.

Car climbs steep mountain, goes over rocks, stops at the top of the cliff... An athletic person steps out and admires the view, stretches, takes a deep breath and suddenly notices the astounding drop in front of him and PUKES!!

It took forever... I believe honestly the secret to success with getting to that mark is to re-invest what you make into other assets. Assets being the key... I know people that re-invest every dime they make back into their businesses but when I see that I think to myself "shit what happens if the market turns and their business dies?"

                                                                                                                                                                          My recommendation is to spread the money around into various options... Such as real estate (commercial and residential), buying cash flow positive businesses that need very little of your own time to run and also looking for new opportunities around every corner. I am not a big stocks guy because I consider it really like gambling, but then again every investment there is a risk. I prefer to invest in things where I have experience and knowledge in how the business runs...

It took forever... I believe honestly the secret to success with getting to that mark is to re-invest what you make into other assets. Assets being the key... I know people that re-invest every dime they make back into their businesses but when I see that I think to myself "shit what happens if the market turns and their business dies?"
