How to Get Rich, Retire Young and Escape 9 to 5 for good!

[Rich Grads]

New Graduates and Young Adults everywhere are faced with an alarming uphill battle in these tough economic times. With cut-throat competition for even fewer job postings, the rising cost of living, and an increasing unemployment rate all over the world - What’s Our Generation To Do?

If you’ve been struggling to get the ideal life set-up you wanted since you’ve graduated or if you’re just entering the “Real World” and want to know how to end the suffering before it begins… I’d like to let you in on a little secret…

The reason that many people are not where they want to be in life is likely because they’re probably doing EXACTLY what they’ve been told to do. And that’s to go out and… “Get A Job!”

But seeing how you're here on this web forum, you likely already know that having a job for your entire life is not the route of an entrepreneur. You're already miles ahead of the majority with that thinking and I sincerely applaud you for getting to this point at a young age.

But if success as an entrepreneur is still alluding you, you may want to check out my "Rich Grads: Special Report" because it could be very helpful to you at this stage of your life. It could even save you years of frustration as well.

Garbage... sorry thats just my opinion...

I'd like to see these titles:
"Busting your ass until you make it"
"Sacrificing for Success"
"Making millions by doing what others won't... working that is"

Let me know when these ebooks come out as they may be worth something.

I can tell you that the only way your going to get "rich" without killing yourself is working hard and doing what you enjoy doing. "Rich" isn't necessarily monetary either.

Roger,

I think I get where you are coming from. Your experience is that you don't agree with anyone telling people that they can retire easily and retire young because that's been YOUR experience. My experience has been different than that and that's why I share my story. There are other ways.

I'm living proof and many of the people I work with have also been able to create an excellent income stream for themselves and really don't have to work as hard every single day as they once did.

It sounds like it's been quite a "scrap" as you put it to get where you are, no? That's unfortunate. And your discussions with wealthy people is such that you have to work "hard" with long hours and that is the only way to "retire young." Interesting. I imagine that you've probably attracted these types of people into your life who support your beliefs because they too work from the same mindset.

I don't disagree that it does take work to become "successful" (again, something that is subjective) but the theme of the ebook is to learn ways to create residual income, part-time, in order to create a stream of consistent income for yourself so that you don't have to work at a j.o.b. that you don't like for the rest of your life....and therefore, be able to retire younger. It's about working smarter, not harder.

Another question, were you basing your comments on actually reading the ebook or merely by the title? "Don't judge a book by it's cover." That's a 'saying' right?

I've gotten to the point where, between my real estate investments, stock investments and my home based business, I create enough passive income that supports my lifestyle - without working as hard anymore. And I was able to do it in just over 5 years. That's what I teach others to do - so they don't have to work hard for the rest of their life either.

I wish the same success for you Roger.

All the best in your endevours.

Here is the major thing.. anyone who actually makes money at a young age does not retire and those who go at the business world with that intention are already going in the wrong direction. Making money is infectious once its in your blood you don't simply stop and say... well that was fun.. I think I'm done making money now.

I love the phrase passive income... it makes me laugh. I know there are people that make real passive income (millions +) but at some point they put in the work (most of them) unless they had money to begin with and simply serve as an investor now. I have investment income and real estate income as well. It is a fraction of the income I get from running my two successful companies (I have more but only two have revenues over $1M per year). Maybe in 10-20 years these companies (and I plan on more) will be on auto pilot with good management so I can sit back and simply cash checks. But that doesn't just happen... its takes years of real work!

I didn't read the ebook because the context taken from the title is what I had a problem with... 'retire young' its a great marketing technique but its crappy advice for a young entrepreneur trying to start a company.

Your condescending attitude lets me put 10:1 odds on the fact that you have a j.o.b. and you are trying to write an ebook about something you have no actual knowledge of... I could be wrong but I'm typically not. This fact is also enforced by the fact that you wanted to have this conversation via PM so you weren't exposed to the rest of the users here on YE.

I have no problem playing devils advocate or the YE-Ass because someone needs to do it. People on this site are looking for real advice on how to start companies and build businesses from people that have done it already. They don't need people filling their heads with pipe dreams about sitting at home and getting a check in the mail everyday just by reading an ebook. Spend the money on a lottery ticket... you'll have better odds..

That's my tow cents!

PS- If you want lay it all out... tell us your accomplishments and give us a little proof... something we can grasp and see... something real not just a story. If you can do that then I'll have nothing but admiration for you and your 'success'.

Do you want to work harder or work smarter?

"I would rather earn one percent off 100 people's efforts than 100 percent off my own efforts" J. Paul Getty.

In the Parable of the Pipeline by Burke Hedges, he tells an awesome story to illustrate the importance of creating and controlling a leveraged business system if you have a desire to be wealthy.

Here's the short version of the story, but I highly recommend anyone seek it out. It's available all over the internet:

Bruno and Pablo were given a contract to deliver water from the river to the cistern in a village. Bruno was happy with his bucket carrying income but Pablo had another idea.

"Instead of lugging buckets back and forth for pennies a day, let's build a pipeline from the river to the village!" Bruno disagreed and continued to carry buckets.

Pablo worked part of the day carrying buckets and then part of the day and weekends building his pipeline. Once the pipeline was complete, Pablo didn't have to carry buckets anymore. The water flowed whether he worked or not. And so did his income.

Carrying buckets (a.k.a. working hard) certainly works. There's no questioning that. But only up to a point. It really is an inefficient way to get work done long term. The reason why is that you are limited by the number of hours in a day as well as your energy to continue doing the job.

Whereas building a “pipeline” describes an effective system that is utilized to deliver a product or service to a customer. This "system" is not limited by the above noted constraints of your time or your efforts. It is a “business,” and done correctly, has the potential to create a fortune.

This is the theme of the ebook I wrote and share with you on my site. Download it if you want, ignore it if you want. You can even dislike the title. My feelings won't be hurt.

But when you are thinking of starting a business, especially as a young entrepreneur, think pipelines, not buckets. It is one of the most important and fundamental concepts necessary for the average person to build a successful business.

Here's an example:

Carrying Buckets: If you were to work a 40 hour week, for 50 weeks a year, your total productive hours are 2,000 per year. This works out to be only 80,000 hours that you can generate income in over 40 years of your working life. This is what the masses do and many traditional business owners do also.

vs...

Building Pipelines: What if you were to just stay focused for 5 years and build a team of 1,000 people working with you, with each member just working 4 hours per week. And what if all those hours contributed to your income? Well, you would get to enjoy the same 80,000 income generating hours - but it would be accomplished in only 20 weeks!

Cool math huh.

You build it once and get your team into place, then you can take frequent breaks, go on extended vacations, eat well, sleep well, knowing that the team that you put in place, the one that keeps growing, will continue to work and contribute to your income.

So, do you want to work hard for 40 years or do you want to work hard and smart for 5?

Choose wisely!

So you did write an ebook about something you have not done. You are quoting the same old parables that everyone quotes. Those are all fine and dandy but they give nothing to a person trying to start a business. That's like telling an investor to buy low and sell high. We all know its a good idea... but how do you do it? I don't want to hear third party stories I need real first person accounts of how to make things happen.

Thank you for proving me right... not that I needed the vindication but it always feels good.. hell... I didn't give a rats ass to begin with.

How many times have you told a friend, a family member or co-worker about your dream of starting a business or a great idea and got nothing but answers that attempt to burst your bubble?

How many times have you witnessed this in these very forums?

It seems that entrepreneurs always have a steady supply of these negative people at the ready to tell us all the reasons why our ideas won't work.

Thomas Edison dealt with it. So did the Wright brothers. Michael Dell and Bill Gates also tell of all the ‘naysayers’ they encountered along the way.

They tell you that you're crazy; that it can't be done; it’s a bad idea; the economy is bad; you don't have the skills; the knowledge; that is only for certain people; it is too hard; nobody would support it; and my favourite, it’s a scam! They find all kinds of things to warn you about. They’re great at focusing on the negatives aren’t they?

These are the dream stealers!

It certainly can take a lot of strength to ignore these people. Their voices can get pretty loud at times. They say that they have your best interest in mind and don't want you to make a mistake. They tell you about someone whose business failed, or whose ‘great idea’ didn’t work and they don’t want the same thing to happen to you. They’re so thoughtful.

Of course, if you look at their lives, you will often find that they have no dreams or visions at all. Many have never had an original thought themselves and when they see somebody with one of their own, they are quick to discredit it. They fear doing anything new themselves and fear having you attempt something because if you succeeded, they wouldn’t have their excuses anymore to fall back on. Poor baby’s.

They may even have tried to fulfill their own dreams once or twice or more at some point in their lives. However, they let failure beat them down. They have settled for less than what they want and have become bitter and pessimistic in the process.

What happens to you if you let these people steal your dreams away?

If you believe them, you will become like them; joyless with no desire to achieve anymore. You will give up in the face of obstacles and adversity; and become negative and defeated yourself.

You will lose hope that anything will change; and you will be right because nothing will change with their kind of mindset.

As in all aspects of life; whether it be in our relationships, health or business, it is up to you to empower yourself and to achieve your dreams - and to prove to the dream stealers that you will not be discouraged. You will not quit. And that you will not become one of them.

To The Top Young Entrepreneurs!

(Come on now Roger, don’t let me down! I wrote a whole post just for you! You’d better respond ol’buddy. I'm counting on you now )

[soccerprodigy777]

well...im somewhat offended by your post...regardless of who it was directed to...but Im not gonna write too much...I just think its very healthy for entrepreneurs to have a good dose of realism/reality in their ventures, especially when offered by someone with experience.

A big part of the problem lies with people being too sensitive and irresponsible. They want to be coddled and patted on the back for good effort and are VERY quick to throw the blame for their failures on someone else. Quite frankly if your idea sucks, it sucks. Stop crying. If you believe that much in your idea, learn from the criticism, and adapt. If you give up, thats on you entirely.

Its not about being negative, but measuring your ambition with your current reality, and actually thinking things through. Its not supposed to be easy. If you dont like it, then entrepreneurship need not be your "thing". Im just sayin'.
