How to Become a Millionaire by Age 30

Getting rich and becoming a millionaire is a taboo topic. Saying it can be done by the age of 30 seems like a fantasy. It shouldn’t be taboo and it is possible. At the age of 21, I got out of college, broke and in debt, and by the time I was 30, I was a millionaire. Here are the 10 steps that will guarantee you will become a millionaire by 30.

1. Follow the money. 

In today’s economic environment you cannot save your way to millionaire status. The first step is to focus on increasing your income in increments and repeating that. My income was $3,000 a month and nine years later it was $20,000 a month. Start following the money and it will force you to control revenue and see opportunities.

2. Don’t show off -- show up! 

I didn’t buy my first luxury watch or car until my businesses and investments were producing multiple secure flows of income. I was still driving a Toyota Camry when I had become a millionaire. Be known for your work ethic, not the trinkets that you buy.

3. Save to invest, don’t save to save.

 The only reason to save money is to invest it.  Put your saved money into secured, sacred (untouchable) accounts. Never use these accounts for anything, not even an emergency. This will force you to continue to follow step one (increase income). To this day, at least twice a year, I am broke because I always invest my surpluses into ventures I cannot access.

4. Avoid debt that doesn’t pay you. 

Make it a rule that you never use debt that won’t make you money. I borrowed money for a car only because I knew it could increase my income. Rich people use debt to leverage investments and grow cash flows. Poor people use debt to buy things that make rich people richer.

5. Treat money like a jealous lover. 

Millions wish for financial freedom, but only those that make it a priority have millions. To get rich and stay rich you will have to make it a priority. Money is like a jealous lover. Ignore it and it will ignore you, or worse, it will leave you for someone who makes it a priority.

6. Money doesn’t sleep. 

Money doesn’t know about clocks, schedules or holidays, and you shouldn’t either. Money loves people that have a great work ethic. When I was 26 years old, I was in retail and the store I worked at closed at 7 p.m. Most times you could find me there at 11 p.m. making an extra sale. Never try to be the smartest or luckiest person -- just make sure you outwork everyone.

7. Poor makes no sense.

I have been poor, and it sucks. I have had just enough and that sucks almost as bad. Eliminate any and all ideas that being poor is somehow OK. Bill Gates has said, "If you’re born poor, it’s not your mistake. But if you die poor, it is your mistake."

8. Get a millionaire mentor. 

Most of us were brought up middle class or poor and then hold ourselves to the limits and ideas of that group. I have been studying millionaires to duplicate what they did. Get your own personal millionaire mentor and study them. Most rich people are extremely generous with their knowledge and their resources.

9. Get your money to do the heavy lifting.

 Investing is the Holy Grail in becoming a millionaire and you should make more money off your investments than your work. If you don’t have surplus money you won’t make investments. The second company I started required a $50,000 investment. That company has paid me back that $50,000 every month for the last 10 years. My third investment was in real estate, where I started with $350,000, a large part of my net worth at the time. I still own that property today and it continues to provide me with income. Investing is the only reason to do the other steps, and your money must work for you and do your heavy lifting.

10. Shoot for $10 million, not $1 million.

 The single biggest financial mistake I’ve made was not thinking big enough. I encourage you to go for more than a million. There is no shortage of money on this planet, only a shortage of people thinking big enough.

Apply these 10 steps and they will make you rich. Steer clear of people that suggest your financial dreams are born of greed. Avoid get-rich-quick schemes, be ethical, never give up, and once you make it, be willing to help others get there too.

The Secret Weapon For Better Focus


Are you looking for a more efficient way to organise your work-days? Try Time Blocking. 

A few months back, I came across Cal Newport’s illuminating post on Time Blocking — a productivity “hack” that helps you to make the most of your work day by assigning very specific tasks to very specific blocks of time. This is loosely based on Parkinson’s Law, the idea of which is that work will simply expand to fill the time available for its completion.

For some, the idea of scheduling tasks in such a rigid way may be counter intuitive. But, if you’ve a backlog of tasks to get through or a deadline to abide by, time blocking can help keep you on track while keeping distractions, procrastination and unproductive multitasking at bay.

Newport generally spends around 15-20 minutes at the end of each day planning his ‘time blocks’ for the following day, with the overall goal to “make sure progress is being made on the right things at the right pace for the relevant deadlines”. His theory is that “a 40 hour time-blocked work week, I estimate, produces the same amount of output as a 60+ hour work week pursued without structure”.



For a potential promise of a 50% increase in productivity (especially related to deep, tough work), the temptation to give this hack a trial run is hard to resist.

Give Some Time To Planning

If you’re tempted to try this out, the first thing you need to do is to spend a short amount of time setting out what you need to complete before the week is over. Decide what makes for a week well spent.


Write out 3-5 of the most important tasks you need to complete (these decision making apps may help), and any other necessary (though not always important) tasks that you just have to get done. Then, if you work a typical 8-hour work day, split those 8 hours into different-sized chunks, with each chunk dedicated to a specific task (or set of tasks) — important and necessary — that you have to work on. Google Calendar is a perfect tool for this, but a piece of paper can work just as well.

You can see a basic example (for just one day) I used a few days ago below, though you can of course make this as detailed as possible. Try to divide the tasks throughout the week in a way that helps achieve all of your objectives without pushing yourself too hard.

Be Honest With Yourself

Don’t try to squeeze too much into one day. It’s all too easy to underestimate how long a task will take — especially if you’re under the assumption you’ll be 50% more efficient than usual. If you’re someone who’s never tracked their time before, this will take a small while to learn.

You need to figure out the average amount of productive time you spend in your inbox. You need to know exactly how long you can actually focus on deep, difficult work. If you carve out four hours for deep work, but can only really concentrate deeply for two hours (for example), that’s two hours wasted, which could have been spent on less demanding tasks.

As you learn more about how you work, and how long each task really takes, your time-block estimations will become more and more accurate, thereby helping you become more productive.

You Can Time Block Reactive Work Too

If a lot of your work is reactive, you may think this method won’t work for you. But, fortunately, you can assign blocks of time to reactive work, too, so as to avoid that 8 hour game of Ping-Pong when you’re at work.

For example…

If a large portion of your work is spent in your inbox, schedule 30 minutes every 2 hours in your inbox (A big deal? Add some information to your signature letting people know that you only check email a few times per day to keep up productivity).

If you have to take calls throughout the day, instead of answering the phone every time it rings, turn the answer machine on, and schedule a couple of periods during the day where you respond to your messages. This allows your other blocks of time to be far less interrupted, enabling you to get your best work done.

Remove Distractions

Blocking out time is all well and good in theory, but if you don’t stick to the principles in practice, you’re bound to fail. If you’re settling in for a couple of hours of deep work with a Facebook tab open, your phone ready and willing to accept calls, and your colleagues feeling like they can interrupt you at any moment, you’re setting yourself up for failure.

Make sure people know they shouldn’t disturb you (wearing headphones can reduce interruptions dramatically). Turn the phone off. Sign out of social media. Close all unneeded tabs, and concentrate on the task at hand for the time period assigned to it. You’ll often be surprised at how much you get done.

Don’t Be Too Specific

This is loosely related to our human inability to predict how long things will really take. Or even if we have the motivation to complete a task. If we’re too specific with our time blocking (i.e. “30 minutes to book a venue for the party”), then when we don’t find a venue within 30 minutes, we’ve already failed. Instead, keep your blocks of time relatively vague, but still working toward a very specific goal.

For example, “30 minutes organising the party” works well. Instead of having a venue booked, the 30 minute block may result in a shortlist of venues — so at least you’ve made progress!

These quick wins are what keep you motivated to keep up with these kind of productivity systems.

Time Blocking Doesn’t Mean Lack Of Choice

Some people detest having no choices throughout their day, and fear that time blocking leads to a complete lack of choice. This, however, isn’t the case. Take my personal Google Calendar example above.

“Writing Articles” is purposely vague. I have a selection of articles I can work on at any one time, so during this time period, I can pick the one article that excites me the most at that time. The point is to ensure that I actually spend a certain amount of time writing each day, irrespective of what I’m actually writing.

Keep Detailed Notes

When your day regularly involves switching from one task to another, it can often take too much time to get back into the swing of the next task. When I stop my phone calls at 12:30 and move into my deep work, I need to know that I can easily get into the right frame of mind so as to waste as little time as possible.

To do this, I keep detailed notes either on paper, or on my Google Calendar about where I’m, where I got to last time I was working on this project, problems I was facing, breakthroughs I made, and what the next step is to keep progress moving forwards. Spend the last few minutes of each time block writing these notes so you can enter the next time block with a clear mind.

Perform Regular Reviews

At the end of each week, month or quarter (whichever is best for you), perform a review of the different projects you’ve been working on to see if your time blocking approach is working for you, and to know which projects you need to assign more time blocks to. This is the only real way you’ll know how to effectively assign your time. During a review, ask yourself the following questions for each project:

1. What did I accomplish since the last review?
2. What tasks need completing before the next review?
3. At which stage am I at with each of my projects?

With this overview, you’ll be in a much better position to make decisions for the future. Use technology…like these time tracking apps on Android.

Understand Your Body Clock

Take a read of this article on Circadian and Ultradian rhythms, and learn how to tell which hours each day are your most productive, and schedule your time blocks accordingly. Many authors find they are most creative during the early hours. If you know you’re able to focus better during the early afternoon, organise your time blocks to make the most of this time and your top priorities for the week.

Don’t Be Too Professional

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Ensure you schedule time for play into your days. Put aside time to spend with your loved one. Time to spend on your own. Time to exercise. Time to go Christmas shopping. Time to do nothing. Else, these may all fall by the wayside and you’ll find you’re all up to date when it comes to work, but entirely behind in your personal life.

Use Reminders That Work

Whether that’s a calendar popup, email reminder, a timer on your phone, or an old-school stop watch, you need to ensure that you set up reminders that you’re confident you’ll abide by. If you’re willing to work an extra 10 minutes on each task, you’ll soon fall behind on other projects. Is it really worth it? Ensure you know when your time block is coming to an end, so get into the right frame of mind to move to the next block.

In essence, time blocking is a simple exercise in segregating your day into various chunks of time that, if stuck to, helps us achieve everything we need to, thereby reducing stress. Sure, there are some problems with motivation, the ability to predict how long things will take, and unforeseen disruptions. But using this method can help us cut procrastination and waste, make for more efficient work days and also give us back personal time.

No. 1 Skill to Get Ahead in Life


We're living in uncertain times. As average yearly incomes stagnate, the economy continues to sputter towards recovery, and we spend more and more time online, it feels natural to worry about the reality today's children will face when they enter adulthood.

So how do we prepare them? What are the necessary skills that will help these kids get ahead in life? Overwhelmingly, as a nation, we believe that first and foremost, it comes down to the ability to communicate effectively.

That's takeaway from a recent Pew Research Center survey, in which a national sample of 3,154 American adults were presented with a list of 10 skills -- communication, logic, reading, teamwork, writing, science, math, athletic, music and art – and were asked to select the ones that they believed are the most important for children to get ahead in the world today. (In other words, they could choose as many as they thought fit that standard; most respondents selected more than one skill as "most important.")

Communication trounced the competition. A whopping 90 percent of respondents cited the skill as "most important," a higher percentage than more tangible skills received, including reading (86 percent), math (79 percent), and science (58 percent).

Here's how all 10 skills stacked up.



Communication's secure first-place position surprised us, but perhaps it shouldn't have; the survey didn't specify what "getting ahead in the world today" means, exactly. For many, it likely translates to professional success (where communication is undoubtedly important), but it can also mean leading a happy life connected to friends and family (where communication is integral). Perhaps also, there is the fear that today's children, a cohort fluent in 'likes,' lols and emojis, are losing the ability to connect without the crutch of the Internet.

Interestingly, despite the fact that STEM fields typically yield high average salaries (if you're choosing a college major, engineering is a more lucrative bet than architecture or fine arts), science was considered a "most important" skill by only slightly more than half of respondents. Only athletic skills (25 percent), music skills (24 percent) and art skills (23 percent) fared worse.

Men, who continue to vastly outnumber women in STEM positions, were less likely than women to rate communication and reading skills as most important, but significantly more likely to say that science and math skills made the cut. Sixty-three percent said science skills were important – versus 52 percent of women – and 81 percent said math skills were important, versus 76 percent of women.

15 PRINCIPLES TO MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE

HOW TO PUT AWESOME POWER INTO YOUR LIFE.

Achievers are believers: they believe in themselves and in life.




Achievers are great dreamers (but not "airy-fairey stuff"). What dreams in life would you have, if you knew you could not possibly fail?

What particular dream would make you happiest in fulfilling?

Firstly, Have total faith: in yourself and especially in God - a Higher Power, Supreme Being, Who cares deeply about you and really BELIEVE God, Life, Your Creator will ultimately ensure the outcome that's best for you (even when things look bleak and you are stuck deep in the smelly brown stuff.

I've lived these principles (even when my dream appeared shattered and my hope was at a very low ebb, learnt them from experience over many years and have applied them in every area of my personal life. I can vouch for the fact that they DO work!

The very fact that I've written this article and its been published around the world was a dream that I had ten years ago (to reach people around the globe from here in scenic and tranquil "Sleepy Hollow" near the bottom of the world)... and that is a 'miracle' considering my personal
circumstances, absolutely no contacts and total lack of technology skills at the time.

Here are the Fifteen Principles, which I've applied down my "unchartered journey down the  rapids of life". *

* no, more sliding down the "razor-blade of life".

1. Discover the Awesome Power of a Dream.

A vision for the future, that will capture your entire heart and at the deepest level, your spirit and soul (are they the same thing, by the way?). Open your mind up to the awesome power of your creative imagination (the way "God "speaks" to us, through our subconscious minds, our "Godgate" or "receiving station from Superior/Infinite Intelligence", I believe).

Allow yourself the courage and freedom to even fantasise until you get a vision, a dream of what your life could one day stand for. Meditate deeply, pray, ask God, The Great Designer, what is your unique "calling in life", your purpose... and you WILL eventually get the answer... from the "still quiet voice within" (or your Higher Self).

Where do you find the vision? You could perhaps find it by looking for people who have hurts and human needs - as per the secret of success in business is finding a need and filling it. So find a human problem to solve through the awesome power of a vision. God will bless you, so that you in turn can bless others, through sharing your unique gifts. That way you are helping people, touching other lives and making a difference in the world. I try to do that through my words.

2. Your dream must be backed by ACTION.

Achievers are dreamers and DOERS. Take small steps and you'll find that one step leads to another, then the next. "Rome wasn't built in a day."

3. Develop a 'God Consciousness'

TRUST, really trust God, the Spirit of the Universe for the successful outcome to your  endeavours. It WILL happen, though not in your time-frame and according exactly to your
expectations. But always remember, God's dreams are far bigger than we could ever imagine ourselves.

4. DEVELOP YOUR DESIRE to see the dream come to fruition.

Work on your motivation daily. Allow your Dream to be at the fore-front of your life, the "core of your being". It will motivate, inspire and energise you by giving you a SENSE OF PURPOSE - essential. Only YOU have the power to kill your dream. Nothing is impossible to the person,  whose vision becomes a dream and when that dream is allowed to take control over your life. Like an obsession... but strive for balance (heed that one, Craig).

5. Develop a Success Consciousness, that you will achieve your dream one day.

It's a positive pattern of thinking, a great attitude/mind-set to have, which will propel you down the road to success. Think abundance and prosperity and not lack.... and you will draw it to yourself from the Universe.

6. Don't surrender to negative assumptions.

Eg."I'm too old, a woman, have no money, no resources, no contacts". Challenge them. Nothing is impossible to the person who has the desire to succeed. As the proverb says, " where there's a will, there's a way".

7. KNOW that there is a God, a Supreme Being

KNOW that there is a God, a Supreme Being (call Him/Her/It what you will) and that there is is a unique plan for your life. Listen to God, Spirit, The Ultimate Source (my favourite term to understand the concept commonly known as God), or Ground of our Being and it's just up to YOU to discover it, then declare it - to the world, should you want. It's your grand purpose in life and God will help you to fulfil it (as a "co-creator of and collaborator in the vision"). When you give 100% commitment and fully TRUST, God will see to it, that your CHOSEN dream comes to pass. You would never be "given a great dream" through your IMAGINATION without your having the potential to achieve it.

8. Have a dynamic positive attitude to life.

CHOOSE it. That things will somehow work out for you. Be flexible in your thinking. Attitude determines your altitude and more than anything else, I believe, is a vitally important ingredient in seeing your dreams come to fruition.

9. Really BELIEVE that things will work out for you.

Believe in yourself with honesty and humility....and not arrogance. It's not being "big-headed" saying things, like "I am unique, somebody special, I KNOW I can (make a difference, some impact in this amazing and beautiful world of ours, etc")! Doing this demands having a healthy self concept (image).

10. PERSIST

Look at all the options and check them each day. Obstacles and presures shift, like sand-storms. Never ever walk away from problems. Say, "I will until....".

11. Be patient.

Like a good wine, a great dream usually takes many years to mature and then blossom. When nothing seems to be happening, don't give up hope. Never.

12. Be open and flexible in your strategies to achieve your goals, your dream(s).

There are many ways to skin a cat (sorry, SPCA). If one road on the path to achieving your
dream gets blocked, go round the back way.  If you get stuck on what to do, ask God for the answer on the path ahead through prayer... and you'll get it through your creative imagination. It will just pop into your head from "outer space" (as Thomas Edison once described it).

13. Review your strategy and progress from time to time.

Evaluate your strategies and tactics. How effectively are you progressing down your chosen path? Are you getting the results expected and what you desire? If not, try another approach.

14. Listen to others, really listen, instead of thinking what you are going to say next

Think how can I best help the next person. As Zig Zigler wisely said, "You get what you want, by helping other people get what they want."  In turn, if you need help with something, don't be afraid to ASK politely. People like helping others...and everyone has unique skills and knowledge, that they like sharing.

15. Never Give Up on the Core of your Dream. Never!

Ask yourself this vital question: What are the alternatives to NOT dreaming it... and only YOU can kill your grand vision..
WHAT IS YOUR DREAM?
DECIDE IT,
DECLARE IT,
SHARE IT
Then be happy as you travel along the journey of life, the stair-case to your great dreams...

P.S: Always remember, God's dreams are far bigger than we could ever imagine ourselves
"If you can believe, all things are possible to those who believe." - Mark 9:23

Christmas Lights in Nagoya Japan

Christmas Lights in Nagoya, Japan : Walking past Nagoya station we noticed herds of people waiting (camera in hand) for something in front of Nagoya station. Curious as we are, we move up the stairs to find out what’s going on. Right at that moment the whole station lights up with beautiful Christmas lights everywhere, hiding in trees, in flowers, in bears and on part of the skyscraping twin towers of the station. People don’t really celebrate Christmas in Japan (I mean it’s not even a day off!) but I’ve found more than enough Christmas lights all over Japan so far (even in Inuyama) to keep my Christmas spirit going.

However, one thing Japan does do extremely well at Christmas time is illuminations! They may be more to do with winter than Christmas, but that hardly seems to matter. There is something so incredibly beautiful and Christmassy about walking through these elaborately lit parks and grottoes full of sparkling trees and fantastical glittering constructions.

This year I’ve only managed to visit two sets of illuminations, each very different from the other. This year’s Nagoya illuminations are located outside the huge JR station building and can be reached by taking the escalator to the second floor and walking out to the balcony overlooking the street. This display is definitely a child-oriented affair. The walkway is lined with tree shapes covered in lovely blueish-white lights. The effect is like walking down a sparkling snowy avenue minus the snow.

Getting There:

Nagoya is just under 2.5 hours from Hiroshima by shinkansen and costs around 14,030 yen for a reserved seat. Alternatively, several night buses go from Hiroshima to Nagoya. The night bus takes around 8.5 hours and costs 8,400 yen.

To get to the Nagoya Winter Illuminations: From the Kintetsu or JR line stops, enter the JR Station building. Head for the gold clock in the centre of the building and take one of the escalators behind it to the next floor. Walk straight out the doors and you’re there.

To get to Nabana no sato: From Nagoya, take the JR or Kintetsu Line to Kuwana station. Exit the train station and go to the bus station. The bus timetable for Nabana no sato is located next to the ticket office. There are at least two buses an hour. The last bus from Nabana no sato back to Kuwana leaves at around 9:20 p.m.







Bubba Gump Shrimp Co Kuta Bali

Roxuai @ Bubba Gump Shrimp Co Kuta Bali

The concept of the restaurant, besides the shrimp of coz, the movie forest gump itself! They even show the movie at the restaurant. The first thing you see when you past it is a big cabinet giving you displays of the food, of course the food isnt real its plastic, but they give you a display of some of the food you get so you know what you are eating which is a good idea. Plus you also see the big shrimps at the front on both sides of the entrance. When you walk in its like a tour you go through these little like walk ways with all information about the movie called Forest Gump which that is why the restaurant is named after the movie, so it gives you some infomation that maybe you never new before.

There's a 4 types of food that made with shrimp which is, fried shrimp ( like tempura ? ;p ), popcorn shrimp, shrimp in skewers, and shrimp ball. This dish served with french fries, coleslaw, and 3 types of sauce which is tartar sauce, mayonnaise and the sour sweet sauce ( I'm not sure what sauce is that ;p ). The four of it was taste nice and fresh. But what i like the most is the shrimp ball. Crispy outside, but moist and savory inside. Yum! Besides their great and large portion of food, they also shares a very unique ordering system. As seen in the picture, when we want to order, we just lift the plate into red with the signage "Run Forrest Run", and the waitress will come to you to take your order. Very efficient we might say :).

 Fantastic atmosphere staff have energy enthusiasm and great sense of humours. good food a little expensive in bali terms. but... so enjoyed it that it's well worth the extra $$$!!! If you don't enjoy having a joke or fun don't bother if you like fun new experience it's a must do once at least. Had a good experience with their service and food earlier at The Curve, so we decided to have our lunch there. It's located outside of the Sunway Pyramid main entrance, so you will need to make your way out the shopping mall and it is on the left side as you exit. You will never miss it.

Favorite Dish:

Luna2 private hotel is situated on prime beachfront, in the heart of fashionable Seminyak. A short stroll along the beach, towards the north or the south, leads you to a feast of popular hotels, restaurants and bars.
Just 20 minutes’ drive to Bali’s International Airport.

Luna2 mansion was designed by American architects David Wahl with interiors by owner and interior designer Melanie Hall.. Architecture Luna2 a private hotel is reminiscent of modernism in Europe and the United States. It is an architectural style that would be expected on South Beach in Miami, as the Seminyak Beach in Bali. Building taken out of the modernist style of the classical period and the location and the new environment, pushing in the future. While surprising at first, the building is now a pleasant surprise for residents and tourists, past the design limits of the traditional construction of mandatory standards. Luna2 private hotel combines local and imported materials according to their quality and commitment to the vision of design. The interior is imported Italian tile terrazzo chip factory with metallic silver, and is more durable, nonporous and more sophisticated than terrazzo paid locally.
