Shark Eyes: Conversations With Millionaires by Mike Litman & Jason Oman - Set A Goal To Become A Millionaire


“Set a goal to become a millionaire for what it
makes of you to achieve it.”
He said, “Do it for the skills you have to learn and
the person you have to become. Do it for what you’ll
end up knowing about the marketplace, what you’ll
learn about the management of time and working
with people. Do it for the ability of discovering how to
keep your ego in check. For what you have to learn
about being benevolent. Being kind as well as being
strong. What you have to learn about society and
business and government and taxes and becoming
an accomplished person to reach the status of
millionaire.
All that you have learned and all that you’ve
become to reach the status of millionaire is what’s
valuable. Not the million dollars.
If you do it that way, then once you become a
millionaire, you can give all the money away.
Because it’s not the money that’s really important.
What’s important is the person you have become.
That was one of the best pieces of philosophy I
have ever heard in my life.
Nobody ever shared it with me like that before.
Another thing he said was, “beware of what you
become in pursuit of what you want. Don’t sell out.
Don’t sell out your principles. Don’t compromise your
values. Because you might acquire something by
doing so, but it won’t taste good.”

Shark Eyes: Conversations With Millionaires by Mike Litman & Jason Oman


Over the years I’ve been asked on many occasions,
“What can I do to make more money and become wealthy?”
This has probably been the most asked question of me
throughout my twenty plus year career.
My three New York Times Best Selling books: Nothing
Down, Creating Wealth, Multiple Streams of Income, and
soon Multiple Streams of Internet Income each go into many
of the specifics to reaching that goal. But, there is something
I always say to the person who asks me that very question.
The answer to the question I mentioned earlier is as
follows. ‘How do you get started on the road to success?’
The answer is, learn from those who have already paved the
path to riches and fortune. Learn from those who have
generated the grand ideas, laid out the vision, assembled a
plan, and fought the adversities that lay ahead of any great
success story. Learn from those who have dropped the
success clues along the way.
In these days of the Internet, information is everywhere.
Getting information is easy. Though getting great
information is tough and often very challenging.
In Conversations with Millionaires, you’ll get life
changing information from some of the most successful
entrepreneurs in America today. All in one book, all at one
time.
This is a book I wish I had 20 years ago when I started
on my own journey to become a millionaire............
