Subscribe to Aridni Your goals are the engines that move—how are yours running?

This morning, I woke up asking myself: How do I create a million dollars?

Yeah, it sounds like a stupid question—but have you ever asked yourself? We’re always talking about getting a million bucks on Aridni. We think of the goal… though what if we started thinking from our goals? Start with grassroots like a political campaign.

HOW you make a million dollars is more than saving money, investing cash, and starting businesses. Statistics show that each millionaire creates ten new jobs. These millionaires have desires beyond the $$–they want to write a novel, grow their business, or touch lives. They have desire that goes deeper than, “I want a million bucks.”

Todd has entrepreneurial ideas. When’s he going to pursue them? (we’re hoping that’s exactly what he’s doing now that he’s driven across the country for the summer) I’ve charted a net worth goal for every six months until I’m 50… what am I doing to reach it?

Make sure your train of thought isn’t only, “I want to be a millionaire.” Start saying, “THIS is how I’m going to get my first million…”

    Awesome article Katie! I love the way you incorporate grassroots into business. Business and politics are quite similar when you think about it and in many ways business drives politics!
