Are you smart enough to make a million dollars? It depends on what you know and how you use it. You might have enough knowledge packed away in your head to put what you know to work and come up with a million in a short amount of time. You just need to learn one or two more things to put it into action and the money will come rolling in. This is the case with most people. Most people just never think about going after the big money with the knowledge they now posses. They use it to make a living and get by. You get into a routine and get comfortable with just making a living. Enough money to pay the bills and every now and then do something fun and buy a new toy or two. Most people also focus on what they know most about and think they can not turn that knowledge into a money making business. They believe too many other people know how to do that and there would be too much competition. They seem to forget they have other knowledge that they have used throughout their lives such as hobbies and sports. Running the average household takes many skills and a lot of expertise also. It is more than a full time job in many cases and you usually have to learn or invent many shortcuts and business skills to do that. But why take any risks with the money coming in to gamble on starting a business? After all, other people know the same things and are not millionaires. This is where they are very wrong.

The reason is most people are like cows. Let me explain that a little. Cows travel in herds; they all eat the same grass and usually are all in one area of the pasture. They do the same thing day after day. They wake up, eat the grass, drink the water, then go to sleep. You seldom see a cow far from the herd. They do not know any better. They just do the same things day after day like the other cows and they will survive, so they think. If they only knew what was in store for them they might try and make a break for it and run for the hills. People do the same things, they wake up, go to work, take lunch, go back to work, go home, eat dinner, go to bed, wake up, go to work, go to lunch, and so on. Everyone in their herd is doing this so this is how to survive, so they think. Only a small percentage takes the risk to break away from the herd.

So now back to the subject, "Are you smart enough to make a million dollars"? Can you break away from the herd and go to the greener pastures? The answer is of course you can. With a little effort, all you need to do is take action and do it. All you need is a little push, a little help and you can do it very easily. Today with the internet at your disposal, you have all the tools you need.

There are many people who would love to help you too. Even I will help you if you like. You just have to be willing to put a little effort and time into it.

I can assure you this. You know about something that many, many people would love to know. You may have something at your disposal or make something that many, many people would love to have. It is your duty to make it available to them. How dare you be so selfish and keep it from all of those people. People want it and need it and it is so easy for you to sell it to them, and there you are keeping it from them. How dare you. I say again it is your duty to make it available to them, so get busy.

Think about this: if the world population was estimated to be 6,602,224,175 in July 2007. Do you think you could come up with an idea or product that let's say a million of those people would buy for one dollar, or maybe 500,000 would pay two dollars for, or maybe 100,000 would pay ten dollars for? Look at the world population and think about that. If you did one of the above you just made a million dollars. Just that simple, just one little idea, one small thought in a single minute, the million dollar idea.

I know you can do it. Now what you need is a little bit of specialize education and it is all here right in front of you on the internet. It is not like in the past where to start a business you had to have a large bank roll, and build a brick a mortar business to make money. Now all you need is an idea, a web site, and you're in business with the whole world. This is the specialized education you will need that is very inexpensive and can be done in a short amount of time.

Then there is one more important thing that is a must have to make all this work, and that is the right mindset. You see, without the right mindset you will not be able to achieve success. I can show you how to get everything you need to start a business, but without the right mindset you will not focus and follow through with building a successful, money making business.

Did you know that most self made millionaires started with nothing and where living in poverty when they were young. That is what may have given them the right mindset. They were hungry, and did not want to live in poverty all their lives, and made up their minds to specialize in something and do not quit until they reached their goals. They also never quit learning about the business they are in. They continue their education, even though many are high school drop outs, or college dropouts. They understood that specialized education was the way to become successful.

Do not get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the general knowledge that you get in the schools, but focusing on a certain subject and becoming an expert on that one thing is a much quicker way of building a business. This is why it is good to begin with a product or something you all ready have some knowledge in. It is also important for it to be something that you enjoy researching, and doing.

Once you learn the skill of how to start a business then learn how to market that skill, and do research you will always have money coming in. When you are working for someone else, you have no guarantees anymore.

If you take away any self made millionaire's money, all of it, every last nickel they will have it all back and probably more in a short amount of time. The reason is they know how to do it now. They have the skill and knowledge to get it back. You would have to take away the skill, not the money to make them poor, and that would be hard. Donald Trump is a perfect example. He went from multi-millionaire, to millions in dept, and now look at him. He has the skills, the knowledge, and the mindset. Review: You do have the smarts and the tools available to make your first million? The question is do you have the right mindset and if you don't are you willing to research and find out how to achieve the right mindset? You can achieve most anything with the right mindset.

What do you want your legacy to be? The person who accomplished everything they set out to do, or the person that sometimes remembered to take out the trash.
