I'm 25 years old and I want to become a millionaire by 35. How do I do this?

A bit of simple advice that works for any age.

Copy what millionaires do.
I’ve studied over 40 millionaires and finally found out their secret to wealth.
It took me a long time to piece together the puzzle, but I’ve finally figured it out. Here’s the golden question:
What do Elon Musk, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Mark Cuban, and Tonny Robbins have in common?
Besides the mulah...they all read.
Yep - reading.
Don’t believe me? Let one of the most successful and admired entrepreneurs tell you...

Musk built four multibillion-dollar companies by his mid-40s -- in four separate fields (energy, software, transportation and aerospace).
How is that possible? Because he reads.
SpaceX co-founder, Jim Cantrell, mentions Elon Musk’s passion for reading,
He'd been borrowing all my college textbooks on rocketry and propulsion. You know, whenever anybody asks Elon how he learned to build rockets, he says, 'I read books.' Well, it's true.[1]
That’s how Musk was able to go up against the entire aerospace industry and successfully launch SpaceX. Because he’s an avid reader.
And all the millionaires like Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg have an eye for reading.
The information you provide yourself -- the books and articles you read -- are the nutrients you feed your brain.
If you only read about how Trump is whining about building a wall, then you’re not feeding your brain the proper nutrients to nourish.
However, if you read about economics, psychology or even how Hitler rose to power, then you are one step closer to success.
Reading daily works for Musk, Buffett, Gates and all the millionaires alike.
Chances are, it will work for you too.
The Takeaway? Read non-fiction books and apply. You’ll be one step closer to becoming a millionaire.

The Feynman Technique Model to learn better

The Feynman Technique is a  Mental Model  named after  Richard Feynman , a Nobel Prize Winning Physicist. It is designed as a technique to help you learn pretty much learn anything - so understand concepts you don't really get, remember stuff you have already learnt, or study more efficiently. The Feynman Technique was actually a big inspiration for this blog - I try and apply this to a lot of the concepts and Mental Models that I write about. The technique can be broken down into four easy steps, but first a quick video from  Scott Young  that sums it up very simply. Learn Faster with the Feynman Technique  So now for a recap of the steps: Step 1 Write the name of the concept at the top of a blank piece of paper. Step 2 Write down an explanation of the concept on the page. Use plain English. Pretend you are teaching it to someone else (e.g a new student). This should highlight what you understand, but more importantly ...

How can you improve your life?

  The 18 unconventional ways to elevate your consciousness, expand your influence and ultimately improve your life. Have sex.  There's something unflinchingly "human” about a sexual experience. It builds something within you that connects deeply to nature. A confidence is built. From a person who went stretches- sometimes over a year- without having sex due to deeply rooted sexual anxieties (fear of climaxing too quick, that I wasn't “good enough” in bed, distaste of one-night-encounters etc) rediscovering the feeling you get in your life while being sexually active has really made a positive impact. Introduce yourself to anyone and everyone.  Human beings are social creatures by nature. With that in mind, it is imperative to make your presence known in any room you're in. Don't you hate that feeling when you're at a party or gathering, you go there with a friend and the friend doesn't introduce you to anyone? It sucks. Extreme responsibility is needed on y...

What is life too short for?

Spending time  in damaging relationships  — whether its parents, partner or friends, put yourself first. Trying  to please everyone  — by doing meaningless favors, making decisions based on other’s opinion, etc. Pursuing  a career that you don’t care  about — to make your parents happy or to fit into society. Procrastination —  waiting for the day  when you will finally start crushing your goals. Avoiding pain  — not taking risks, staying in your comfort zone, not working enough, etc. Unconsciously watching Tv, movies, social media — trying to  escape the reality  of your life. Never growing as a person, realizing your potential — just  being okay with a mediocre you. You wouldn’t give away your money for free, then why do you give away your time — giving it away to  people you don’t like. Working a 9–5  job that you hate  but never making efforts to get out of it. Above all, not pursuing true joy and f...
