Rich researchers: There are two ways to become rich - and one of them is much faster!

Everybody dreams about:

Someday beeing a millionaire - and that´s just with as little effort as possible. But it´s not that simple.

Thomas C. Corley has analyzed over five years the behavior of the rich and summarized its findings in a study.

They are almost fanatical scrimper!

Their sell something!

The millionaires, belonged to the category 'fanatical scripmer', had an average net worth of "only "$ 3.2 million - which they have accumulated it, on average it took them about 36 years.

To make it clear once again: empires that relied on selling, had an average of $ 2.5 million higher capacity than the savers and it took them 14 years less. So it's only logical to say: If you want to get rich you have to sell something.

It does not matter which product you sell. This can be cars, electric appliances, burgers or donuts - but also services such as design, legal advice, financial planning, or simply a new way, how to do something.
