I Wanna Be a Millionaire; How?

An Ateneo Graduate School of Business Advantage TO BE A MILLIONAIRE

How many of us wished that they would be a millionaire or as the song goes to be a billionaire. Can you be a millionaire in your current job?  Maybe it would take a hundred years if you stay in your current job, or unless you steal millions from your employer

How do you multiply your talents, if you were to follow the famous Bible parable?

It turns from this article that I picked up from Alexa and YahooNews and as per my experience, and experience of other entrepreneurs is leave their comfort zones, ie to to leave their cocoon of job security and to QUIT THEIR JOBS.

But how many would do that?  They have credit cards and bills to pay, and the relatives are dependent on them, so they would not change their career.

To be a millionaire, quit your job

Here are the stories of those who became millionaires, after they quit their jobs.  The stories make it look so easy (it is not).  But you too can be a millionaire.

You have to quit that job?!!! Sounds crazy?  But can you call millionaires (in dollars crazy?)

10 ideas that made l00 million

Please note that we are talking here of millions of dollars. (that is times 44 in the PHL)

Some of them had luck 

Being a millionaire involves being lucky too;  finding the opportunity:  trend, customer needs.  Being there at the right time.  It is serendipity.  It is being masuwerti.  

Entrepreneurship is linked to becoming millionaire

When I was an aspiring entrepreneur, my favorite reading was Max Gunther's "Super Rich"  Being a millionaire is not an end in itself but a way of keeping the score.  It is being SMART.  Knowing how far or near you are to your goal is a great motivator.

If you have a home office that you exclusively use for business purposes, you might be able to claim a tax deduction, writes Barbara Weltman. The exclusive use provision can be a little tricky to interpret -- storing items in an office probably won't disqualify you from taking the deduction, but using it as a family room after work hours will. Small-business owners interested in the deduction should discuss their situation with a tax adviser, she writes.
