What does success mean to you?

Different people have different concepts of success. Some say,”I want to be happy and contented”, while others say,”I would love to travel and see the world”, still others may say,”I want to retire early.” As time goes by and you achieve some of your dreams, your concept of happiness and goals may change. Life is an ever-moving stream, and our aspirations expand as we move on.

Whatever your dreams, you will need money to achieve them.

Here are some practical tips to be rich by 30:

  1. Have more than three streams of income. 99% of people chase money, and only 1% make it. The secret: stop chasing money, start working on something you enjoy – money will automatically come when you work hard with passion and commitment.

  • If you are lucky, get a job in a similar business you would like to start. Learn from the loopholes, how to improve them, and what mistakes you would avoid.
