The Only Guaranteed Way To Get Wealthy
This isn’t clickbait
I got asked a question over the weekend, “Max, what’s the route to getting rich with the highest possible success rate?” and it got me thinking…
There are 3 concrete, bullet-proof and surefire ways to get rich
BUT, for you reading this email right now, the first 2 of those are not what you want to hear
Because the 3rd one is the ONLY way to not only get rich, but also to do so quickly enough, that you can ENJOY those riches before you’re old
And I’m going to give away all the secrets to that third method with a Free Class I’m running tomorrow: https://event.webinarjam.com/register/30/5y416a32
So what are the 3 guaranteed ways to get rich?
Work, save & invest
It sounds boring and it is, but this route is achievable by literally everyone.
Get a job, learn a trade, start your career and work as a normal person. Hopefully you’ll be able to climb the corporate ladder and eventually make decent money, maybe even a 6 figure income…
But if not, that isn’t actually a problem
Because if you invest just $800 a month into a low cost ETF fund that tracks the S&P 500, you will get rich (very slowly)
After 10 years you’ll have $180,000
After 20 years you’ll have $650,000
After 30 years you’ll have $2,000,000
Rich! Finally! You’ve achevied your goals and you can go jet skiing in Dubai…
Except now you’re old, tired and look like a dick driving that sports car
AND you had to sacrifice all your disposable income for years to get there
But you are technically now, rich!
Not exactly the dream that we all hold is it? So what about option 2?
Start a career & turn it into a business
This is a route seen in every country all over the world…
Pick a career, something at-least half decent
You could be an actuary, an accountant, a lawyer, an architect, or literally anything else
Do your time in university (as dull as it sounds)
Get a job, and learn the trade. Pay attention, absorb information, and build a name for yourself in this industry
Then after grinding out 5 years of further education and 10 years of the trade, go off on your own and start a business
Even a rinky-dink accounting firm can return half a million bucks a year in a Medium Cost of Living city…
So you’ve now achieved the great American dream, you own your business, and make a decent living enough for most of the high life (just not quite it all)
BUT, it took your 15 years of hard work, and slaving to make someone else rich to get there
You’re in your late 30s now, and the kids are demanding more and more of your time
AND once again you realise that you’re a little bit too old to look cool driving that Porsche 911…
Not my idea of a dream outcome
So what is the third, final, and best way to actually build wealth?
Take a risk & start a business now
The truth is you don’t NEED to have worked in an industry for 10 years to start a business…
Because there are 100s of industries that have been revolutionised by technology over the last 20 years
And because of that the industry experts, don’t have an advantage over you
As a result of that, with just a few months or years of hard graft, you can build a digital business to 6-figures a year far easier than you might think
I know this sounds crazy, but it’s exactly what I did with my first business Stoic Media…
I left university and couldn’t get anything other than a minimum wage warehouse job
But I quit and started building my digital business, and the rest is history
It took me 6 months to make my first dollar, but just 6 months after that I made more than $20,000 in a single 30 day period
And the beauty of choosing this path to wealth is that it requires only a short period of sacrifice, compared to the DECADES seen with the other routes
My most genuine regret is that I didn’t see this all sooner, and make the first steps years before I finally did…
And the first steps are right in front of you with my Free Copywriting Crash Class happening tomorrow 8pm London time (that’s 3pm New York time…) https://event.webinarjam.com/register/30/5y416a32
You’ll be taught exactly how to start a copywriting business and to start making money within weeks not months
And to top it all off, you’ll be given a special gift at the end of the Free Class, all you have to do is register here https://event.webinarjam.com/register/30/5y416a32
I’ll see you there, stay stoic,
Max
