We all need a little advice sometimes…

I’m a teacher, writer and for the most part, your average twenty four year-old. Except for one small difference: I’ve spent the last 4 years agonizing over how to launch my online business and I’ve finally done it successfully. I created Rich20Something to teach others exactly how I did it and cut out some of the hassle and heartache I had to go through on my path to freedom. I wish I had me 4 years ago! These days, my sole focus is helping fellow twenty-somethings like you start businesses and create information products out of what you already know. It’s not rocket science, but it is a science and class is now in session. You in the back…pay attention!

The most valuable tool a start-up entrepreneur can have is another successful entrepreneur to model themselves after. I don’t have any entrepreneurs in my family, so when I first started out I had nobody to talk to when I needed help. And I needed a lot of help. I went on a quest to find expert entrepreneurs who were making names for themselves across multiple industries and interview them. My goal was to determine the steps that it takes to go from the absolute beginner stage of business to being successful and profitable. If you’re like me, you’ve probably asked:

What mindset does a young entrepreneur need to succeed? How do I know if I’m even cut out for this?
I want to start my own business, but I don’t have any good ideas. I’m not creative and I’m not “techie”. Is there anything I can do, or am I pretty much screwed?

What are the exact, specific steps I should take to build my business from scratch? Isn’t it true that I need to have money in order to make money (because I don’t have any…)?

I’m scared. How do I avoid failing?

The whole concept of the “Get Millionaire Advice” series is to answer all those burning questions and more. Now, just to be clear…not every single person in the series is a millionaire. However, several of them are. The others are well on their way (should they choose). Everyone here has a tremendous gift to share in terms of what they know. The idea is that you want to hear from people who have traveled the same road as you, but are just a little (or a lot) further along. These are ambitious business leaders out there bootstrappin’ and gettin’ it done. They are here to show you exactly how they did it and how you can too.
