It is far easier to become a millionaire than to remain a millionaire.


I have known many of the former and few of the latter. Look at most football and basketball players. They can make it but not keep it. They become fertile ground for shysters. So stop praying to become a millionaire and start praying to learn how to be a millionaire for a long time. The same attitudes of skills that get you to become a millionaire will maintain you if you learn to cultivate them well.
I was grieved at a recent conference when one of the speakers was selling or giving away millionaire t-shirts. He was missing the boat. You need to learn how, not just earn. Any fool could get lucky and receive a lot of money. the lottery does it every day. Keeping it is something completely different.

Don't ask me how I know this is true
