Does it annoy you when people pull the "the first million is easy" - GoFuckYourself.com

StuartD · 02-16-2005, 06:50 AM

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.

polish_aristocrat · 02-16-2005, 07:07 AM

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.

hova · 02-16-2005, 07:09 AM

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

Trax · 02-16-2005, 07:14 AM

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".

lucwylder · 02-16-2005, 07:16 AM

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

Tom_PM · 02-16-2005, 07:21 AM

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.

slapass · 02-16-2005, 07:35 AM

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.

AdPatron · 02-16-2005, 07:38 AM

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

grumpy · 02-16-2005, 07:47 AM

Its is the truth.
Cant you handle the truth?

Sarah_Jayne · 02-16-2005, 07:51 AM

noone said this to me before

ssp · 02-16-2005, 08:54 AM

It gets hard after 25 mil.

FreeOnes · 02-16-2005, 08:59 AM

all millions are easy to make, no matter or it's the first or the second

It's true. This guy spent only a few hours to make one million dollars:

Dalai lama · 02-16-2005, 09:06 AM

first one is the hardest, no doubt. But once you making $ it's easy to earn more

MikeVega · 02-16-2005, 09:07 AM

I think the first Mil .. is the easiest because you just do what you do and if it comes it comes ....after the first you have more presser to keep up the lifestyle that's why it seems much harder ...

Rebecca Love · 02-16-2005, 09:24 AM

First million is and definitely was the hardest. The old saying, "It takes money to make money" has come to be quite true for me.

Wait, I will take that two cents back. Gotta work on the second million.

Loch · 02-16-2005, 09:37 AM

Always been told that the first is the hardest!!

woj · 02-16-2005, 09:53 AM

First million can't possibly be easiest. If first milllion is easiest, why not do the same you did to get the first million to get another million?

Adultnet · 02-16-2005, 10:13 AM

Its never easy to make money when you don't have it but with the money you get the options for a better invest.
so if you have the money don't waste but invest it good

clickhappy · 02-16-2005, 10:14 AM

Its like when people say "think outside the box"

WHAT THE FUCK IS that SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
Yeah, gee, thanks for the great advice.

could they be more cryptic?

It's true that money makes money... but where to start ???

BRISK · 04-07-2005, 01:13 PM

I think the first trillion is the hardest

Sami · 04-07-2005, 01:36 PM

I would also think making the first million would be the hardest as you have not much to work with.

TonyL · 04-07-2005, 01:37 PM

First million is easy in comparison to passing 5 million mark once you have hit 1 million.

-Tony

C-Bass · 04-07-2005, 01:42 PM

Not sure...i stopped counting after 42

:D

04-07-2005, 01:46 PM

The first is the hardest...Especially if you start with $300 and high hopes. My goal is to double my income yearly. I've done it so far! within 3-4 years, I should be there.

It does take money to make money, and I think most people have realized that.

KRL · 04-07-2005, 01:55 PM

It's harder to keep your first million than it is to make it.

killshot · 04-07-2005, 02:38 PM

getting a million dollars is easy nowdays
all you have to do is appear on some stupid reality show.. eat some bugs.. fuck a few random girls.. and talk shit about everyone else... then you win

That's odd that someone would say the first mil was the easiest, I would think the first one would be the hardest.

I've heard them say that the first million is HARD and THEN every million after that becomes easier.

I've never heard a millionarie say the first million is easy. I have heard them say the first million is the hardest though.

Hehe you're kidding right?

Ok, just in case you're not: "Think outside the box" means FORGET THE RULES, stop doing what everyone ELSE does, forget the way it's "supposed" to be...

The "box" is the mental limitations placed on your imagination by education and experience.

Like this: Picture one of those 4x4 commercials... 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 might not sell the car, but at least you THOUGHT of it.

The Jeep Cherokee: It can take you places you don't even want to THINK about!

Dagwolf · 04-07-2005, 03:41 PM

Don't you hate it when you actuall spend TIME on a post but it's wayyyyy down the page where no one will ever see it?

GTS Mark · 04-07-2005, 03:59 PM

The 1st million is a pain in the ass... 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...

Anyways just my 2 cents, I hope the next few mil get alot easier to make ;)
