We have prepared 7 tips that will tell you exactly what you need to do to become a young millionaire.

1. Age is just a number

It does not determine your knowledge or the likelihood of success. Use youth for your own good, not as an excuse for failure. If you believe that you can do it, you will.

Moreover, people are pleased to look at a hardworking, successful and young entrepreneur. Attract the best to the team with your enthusiasm.

2. Invest in yourself

The safest investment is in your own future. Read at least 30 minutes every day, listen to podcasts and audio books while on the road, and constantly look for mentors. You don't have to know and be able to do everything. But become a versatile, developed personality who can support a conversation on any topic. Consume knowledge like air, make learning a top priority. Now there are a lot of opportunities for free training at a convenient time for you. Register on, or to learn everything about everything from the best universities.

And in order not to burn out, indulge yourself within reasonable limits. Unforgettable impressions, pleasant communication. This is also an experience that will shape the lifestyle of a successful person in the future. For example, a weekly massage is a great way to relax after strenuous work and maintain a healthy tone. Health is still useful to you.

3. Reduce the number of daily chores

The ability to make decisions is a limited resource. Regardless of your firm intentions and mental stability, there will come a moment when you get tired of making a choice.

This moment can be postponed by planning simple daily tasks in advance and making them automatic. For example, choose what you will wear to work for the week ahead, what you have for breakfast.

4. Develop mental endurance

The difference between mediocre performance and overnight success is the ability to work productively for many hours at a time. It is especially important in the final stages of a project. Concentration is of the utmost importance and needs to be developed in order to be competitive with those who started doing it decades before you.

Track the moments when you start to be distracted, analyze every day in search of opportunities to optimize processes. Conventional techniques for developing attention will not help you, only awareness of the highest goal. For example, make a million before the age of 25.

5. Dream big

If you still do not have goals for the next year, 5, 10 years, make a list right now. Reread each morning asking what I can do to reach them sooner.

Goal setting can be both an engine and a brake on your progress if you prioritize it incorrectly.

Be careful and diligent to find the shortest path to success.

6. Be consistent and methodical

Plan your work and stick to the plan. Try to automate routine tasks.

Create templates for letters, reports, use software to process, store and synchronize data. To optimize the process, you will have to spend more time at the beginning, but then you will return it in full.

7. Believe in yourself

If not you, then who? Make your dreams come true. It's easy to find an excuse for failure. But behind every successful person there are difficulties that he has overcome. Do not give up until you are sure that you have done everything to solve the problem. Then think again.

If you still don't know where to start, start by promising to work on yourself every day. This is the foundation for career development.

Divide complex tasks into simple steps. Success is not an end goal, but a daily job.

Are you young and full of energy? Do you want to start your own business and are looking for new ideas for your business? Or do you think that in today's world all niches are already occupied and it is difficult to gain a foothold in the market for goods and services, let alone turn your company into a prosperous company and become a millionaire yourself? Is it hard to believe in possible success?

Many stop at the first step - doubts and do not take the second... “Success and wealth come with age” - you might argue not without reason. “To become a millionaire, you need to spend a million or inherit it” - another opinion. Yes, today there are many millionaires among young people, heirs of wealthy parents. Also, success often comes with time. But is it possible to become a successful businessman on your own at the beginning of your career?

Let's take a look at many of today's young millionaires... We will deliberately not take into account athletes and artists who earn millions - we were interested in pure business. Also, we will not include the "golden youth" who do not run an independent business. We are interested in entrepreneurs under 22 years of age who earn substantial sums. And also those people, the size of whose fortune is not a secret. Why is that? It turns out that millionaires who started a business backed by their father's money do not inherit the business acumen of their parents. And the history of modern business fully proves this.

Ordinary people by the age of 22 only receive higher education, but some by this time have already become millionaires. Here's a quick overview of some of the millionaires who made their first million before they turned 22. So let's go.

1. Mark Zuckerberg, social networking site Facebook

This man is an example of how a guy from an ordinary family becomes the founder of a multimillion-dollar business. He owns a significant portion of the shares in the company he created, which are worth approximately $ 3 billion. How did his business start? As a student at Harvard University, he launched the computer social networking site Facebook right from his dorm room. Subsequently, Facebook became the sixth most visited website in the world: approximately seventy million people visit the site every day using their account. But this was his first successfully implemented idea.

Before that, and it is worth noting his interest in programming, while still at school, he and a friend wrote a program for the MP3-player Winamp, which allowed the computer to analyze the user's musical preferences. After placing the program on the Internet for free access, Microsoft was ready to pay at least two million dollars for the "music box", but the creator avoided the deal under the pretext "inspiration is not for sale." In the end, Mark came to the conclusion that his passion for programming could be a lifelong affair. At that time, he did not think about millions, but success, nevertheless, does not bypass persistent and gifted people.

2. selling tickets online

At the age of 18, in 2005, Joshua Dzyabyak decided to sell his first own hosting company for Internet sites, called Mediacatch, for just over $ 1 million. With the money he received, he bought a brand new Mercedes, as well as a flat-screen TV. He invested the remaining money in completely new ventures. Among them was Showclix.

It is a web site that helps concert halls, colleges, cultural centers and other venues to sell tickets online, at the box office and by phone. In 2009, he raised about 1 million in investments, and his company is already valued at $ 2.75 million. Showclix can charge 7-15 percent on any ticket sales, and its gross ticket grossed $ 9 million last year alone.

3., production and sale of preserves (jam)

In 2002, at the age of 14, Fraser began making jams in his parents' kitchen following his grandmother's recipes. Then his clients were neighbors and school friends. By the age of 16, jam production had reached such large volumes that the young man had to leave school in order to be able to work full time. In 2009, his business generated $ 1.2 million in revenue.

Notably, Doherty is the only full-time employee of the company. Superjam currently sells about 50,000 cans a month, and the young man's fortune is estimated at between $ 1 million and $ 2 million.

4., social network MyYearbook

While leaving school, 15-year-old Katherine and her 17-year-old brother decided to launch a free online version of their annual alumni album. In 2005, after persuading his older brother to invest in their project, the social network MyYearbook.com was launched. In 2008, the creators agreed on a partnership with the manufacturers of games Arkadium - and to the delight of users of the social network, flash toys appeared in it. Later, the resource was overgrown with real-time chats, convenient for those who play in teams. Currently, the project employs about 45 people and, thanks to advertising placed on the site, aimed at young people from 11 to 17 years old, the income is $ 4.1 million.

MyYearBook certainly did not beat (and did not strive) Facebook and other giants in its segment. However, it is the third largest social network in the United States, making money from ads, in-game virtual currency and paid subscriptions. In 2009, the company earned $ 20 million. In November 2011, the project was bought by the Quepasa social network for $ 100 million.

5. plush toys and open weavers, gift business

Having struck the imagination of not only his parents, but also everyone who knew him, Cameron launches his first business at the age of 9, creating invitations to a party for his relatives. The boy's fame grew, and by the age of 11, Cameron already had several thousand dollars in his piggy bank. At the age of 12, a young man buys out his sister's doll collection for $ 100 and resells it several times more expensive on eBay. With the money he earned, Cameron bought teddy bears in bulk and sold them on eBay, as well as on his Cheers and Tears website. So he earned the first 50 thousand dollars. At the age of 13, he created the My EZ Mail service, with the help of which the user was given the opportunity to forward emails to a specific address, while the recipient's personal data remained secret. Two years later, this project began to bring the young businessman about $ 3,000 a month, thanks to advertising.

In 1997, with his friends, Johnson created an advertising agency on the Internet, and by the age of 15, there were already $ 300,000-400.00 in his bank account. At 15, Johnson created CertificateSwap.com where people could sell their gift certificates online. Thanks to a small commission, the service became popular and in 2004 was filed for a "six-figure" Then Johnson was 19 years old and by the time he graduated from school, the graduate's fortune exceeded $ 1 million.

6. Ashley Kvols, design and layout of MySpace personal pages, advertising on her own website

The example of the 14-year-old American woman still amazes many. When the social networking boom was just beginning, 14-year-old Ashley Quoles noticed that many of her friends were looking to diversify their MySpace pages. Kwols had a passion for graphic design, or, more simply, drawing, so it was easy for her to create a fun and colorful background for her personal MySpace page. It was then that Kwols created her own Internet page for eight dollars borrowed from her mother, on which she began to upload various ready-made designs - wallpapers for MySpace pages.

According to Yahoo, the number of page visits in 2007 exceeded one million per day. And, which is especially important for advertisers, the resource, thanks to the efforts of Kwols, has developed its own clearly limited audience - adolescents, and predominantly female. With such a high-quality and large audience, Kwols managed to quickly find companies that wanted to advertise on the site. In 2007, her website, Whateverlife, reached over $ 1 million in annual revenue from an initial investment of $ 8.

7. Raymond Lee T-shirt sale

As a high school student, Raymond Lee did an internship in China. Back in California, Lee ordered jerseys for the tennis team directly from China. Gradually, he amassed a fortune of $ 2,200 and created the online T-shirt company Ooshirts.com. Now he has three employees, and in 2010 the revenue was more than 600 thousand dollars. Lee said he plans to bring sales to $ 2 million this year. It is noteworthy that his company did without external investment.

Raymond doesn't even touch the finished product. His entire business is an online designer helping to design a T-shirt and hand it over to a manufacturer. Even the manufacturer is shipping the goods, not Raymond himself. True, due to the expansion of the business, Raymond now had to hire the first full-time employee to open a telephone support line.

8. Adam Hildreth Marketing Agency Software

In 1999, when Adam Hildreth from England was only 14 years old, he decided to launch a completely new social network. Around this time, Coca-Cola and companies like it began to use their network members in focus groups to develop marketing strategies that would target the younger generation. Adam Hildreth began serving as Managing Director of Dubit Limited, a full four years in that position. Thus, when Adam Hildreth was only 19 years old, the BBC already began to call him one of the twenty richest teenagers in the whole UK. And his approximate fortune was somewhere around 2 million pounds. In dollars, this is approximately 3.7 million.

In 2005, this young man decided to launch his new project, which would distribute special software, which, in turn, would allow protecting children on the Internet from pedophiles. This project is Hildreth's last venture. Crisp Thinking develops online technologies that protect children on the Internet. The company also works closely with Internet providers and child protection organizations to develop solutions that can provide child protection when leaving the online mode.

9.Jason Brian, Automotive Site

After Jason Brian graduated from high school, in the summer of 2008, he decided to start working in the marketing department of a company that sells his own cars in Florida. Jason Brian was well aware that the future of marketing lies in the world wide web, namely the Internet. “I was able to find that for just half the cost, I was able to double the result by just buying online ads and then optimizing the SERPs,” recalls Jason Brian.

For three years, Jason Brian spent less than 10 thousand dollars from his personal savings, and all in order to create his own website aimed at helping ordinary consumers find their cars. Autocricket.com started to make good money, and in doing so it was only selling customer information to car manufacturers and traders. And just six months after the site was launched, it attracted the attention of investors who invested $ 250,000 in the business. In 2009, regular site revenue was $ 1.2 million, and Jason Brian was only 22 years old. And in 2010 it reached as much as $ 6 million.

10. Jan Purkayastha ( Ian Purkayastha), import of truffles

At the age of 15, Jan Purkayastha decided to start importing truffles, and then organized his own truffle sales at a price of up to 12 thousand dollars per 1 kilogram to various restaurants and shops. Jan Purkayastha lived and grew up in Houston. His house was located in Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA. Importing truffles was challenging because imports are controlled by as many as four different federal agencies, and because every time you had to come up with attempts to try to get ahead of time: truffles have a shelf life of only seven days. But Jan Purkayastha was able to and soon opened his own first truffle nursery in Arkansas, USA. And his own sales company had revenues close to $ 1 million.

He is a true truffle tycoon in the United States, largely due to the fact that he is only 18 years old and still a teenager. After all, many of his friends at the same age do nothing but play ordinary computer games, listen to music, and all their thoughts are about how to quickly get rid of acne. And Jan Purkayastha created his own business, supplying delicacies for 4 thousand dollars for just one kilogram to the best restaurants in the country where he lives.

Jan Purkayastha can produce approximately one and a half tons of truffles a year and provide them only to all customers in one New York. But in the list of his clients there are also very famous restaurants, including those restaurants that have a three-star rating, according to the Michelin restaurant rating. "Tartufi Unlimited" is the name of the campaign in which he started his own business when he was just 16 years old. By shopping and selling truffles on the worldwide Internet, he was able to move to New Jersey from Arkansas last August. And at the moment, his business continues to develop: the release of almost 70 kilograms of any product every week is controlled; 70 percent is taken by the supply of absolutely fresh truffles, and 30 percent is taken by the supply of truffle oil.

11. Jamie Murray Wells, glasses sale

When 21-year-old university student Jamie Murray Wells tried to buy a pair of prescription glasses in 2004, a business idea was born in his head. Stunned by the $ 300 price tag for glasses, Wells decided to drop out of school and use his $ 2,000 student loan into what would become Glasses Direct, a London-based online retailer.

Revenue reached $ 1 million in 2007, when Teshovic was 21 years old.

13. Daniel Gomez Iniguez, Diesel Oil Presses

Daniel is the owner of Solben, a company that develops and manufactures presses for extracting oil from plants to make diesel fuel. Iñiguez started product development at school. The first sale brought in $ 150,000: half at once to build the press, half after delivery.

And only in the first year of its existence, the Mexican company Monterrey invested a little more than $ 1 million in Daniel's business.

14. Michael Furdyk, online advertising

In 1996, 16-year-old Michael launched MyDesktop.com, a computer site, in the basement of his parents' house in the Toronto suburbs. His website was full of advice that Furdyk looked for in chats on the net. There he also met his peer Michael Hayman from Australia.

15. David Karp ( David Karp), blog platform Tumblr

Today, the creator and leader of the most popular blogging platform - Tumblr - is 26 years old. He grew up in Manhattan, went through several schools and completed his homeschooling. At the age of 14, David trained with TV producer and animator Frank Seibert, then worked as a software consultant for the UrbanBaby, an Internet project for young parents.

In 2006, at the age of 19, Karp quit his job and created his own microblogging platform. In August 2009, he was named the Best Young IT Entrepreneur by BusinessWeek magazine. It is clear why - the service is very popular. According to ComScore, in July 2011, Tumblr amassed 13 million unique visitors (in the States alone). In October 2011, US President Barack Obama started his blog here.

16. Anton Volodkin ( Anton Volodkin), a music blog aggregator

Russian by origin, 14 years ago Anton Volodkin moved with his parents from Moscow to New York. Six years ago, at the age of 17, Anton made the Hype Machine, an aggregator of music blogs. According to Volodkin, the idea of ​​creating an aggregator came to him while working at Brainlink, where the only way to relax was music. It was quite difficult to find new music, and the guy decided to deal with this once and for all - to write a technology that itself searches for music in interesting music blogs.

By the way, the blogs of the labels and the artists themselves are not interesting - it would be too easy. Attendance of the project - more than a million unique visitors per month. In January 2010, the project became a SoundCloud partner - this provided bloggers with the opportunity to access fresh tracks from the labels.

17. Blake Aaron Ross ( Blake aaron ross), Mozilla Firefox browser

Aaron Ross is 24 years old and his biography is the classic story of a geek generation hero. Ross made his first website when he was 10. And already at 15 he worked at Netscape (combining work with his studies at school), and there he met Dave Hewitt - jointly colleagues created the Mozilla Firefox browser in 2004. At that time he was only 19 years old. Today Ross continues to work at the Mozilla Foundation, but is involved in other projects, in particular, he is the director of products for Facebook.

Today Mozilla Firefox is distributed free of charge and the second most popular browser in the world. For example, in July 2011 its market share was 27.95%.

18. Juliette Brindak, girls' entertainment portal

Juliet, a 20-year-old student at the University of Washington, is the CEO of Missoandfriends.com, an online entertainment project for girls aged 8-13. The site with virtual games, quizzes, chats and Miss O's virtual character is the third most popular resource for girls.

For the first time, Juliet drew her character Miss O at the age of 10. Later it turned out that not only her, but also her friends liked the character, and the idea arose to create a community for her friends on the Internet. Today, the resource is visited daily by about a million people. Today the company employs 10 people, all of whom work remotely. Juliet has to manage everything without interrupting the educational process.

Miss O's business is valued at $ 15 million.

chat for chatting

The Chatroullete service, a tool for communicating with strangers from all over the world through video chats, became a real hit at the end of 2009–2010. At first it was obsessed with it in the West, then a wave swept over Russia. It was then that it turned out that the hit was a 17-year-old Moscow schoolboy named Andrei. Just like that, from a home computer, in three days.

In 2010, a real hunt for the guy unfolded: the American giants dreamed of meeting him and invited him to Europe, investors competed for the honor of investing in the project (estimated at $ 50 million). In an interview with Forbes, Ternovsky said that he earns about $ 1,500 a day from advertising.

As a result, the teenager disowned investments - he even refused Milner, the investor of all the Internet. What I later regretted.

What conclusions do the examples of these young businessmen lead us to? Do they inspire confidence that it is possible to build a strong business without serious investment? Confidence and determination is the first step, followed by the second, and then the third. The main thing in this is not to stop. As you can see from the examples, the most successful business is not when it is only inherited, but when it becomes so, overcoming obstacles on the way of its growth. Hard work and competent planning will necessarily lead to the achievement of the intended goal.

Do you think that business is an activity only for adults and there is nothing for children to do in it? We will now dispel these prejudices.

History knows many real life examples that tell how teenagers begin to do something interesting for them, and it brings them thousands and millions of dollars.

Today we will tell another story of a child businessman who, despite his young age and lack of experience in running a business, was able to become the owner of millions of dollars. And he's only eleven years old.

"Little Monet"

Someone will think that this is a plot for a movie or a book. However, the story of Kieron Williamson - this is the name of the young talent - happened in reality. This young impressionist artist is now known all over the world for his talent, which he realizes on paper, creating his unique masterpieces. He is called "little Monet", because his paintings are as incredible as the works of the famous French impressionist Claude Monet.

The boy was born in 2002 in England, in the eastern county of Norfolk. At the age of five, Kieron traveled with his family to the southwest of England, including the county of Cornwall. What then influenced the boy - a change of scenery, the beauty of Cornwall's nature or something else - is unknown. But it was then that artistic talent was revealed in the boy. And a year later, Kieron became the Guinness Book of Records record holder, thanks to his brilliant talent as an artist.

First profit

In 2009, the first exhibition of the little impressionist was organized, and 23 of his paintings were sold in just a quarter of an hour. So Kieron earned the first 35 thousand dollars. A year later, a second exhibition followed, where 33 works were already sold. And this time the young artist became richer by as much as 200 thousand dollars.

Kieron Williamson's fame grew by leaps and bounds, and along with it the amount of profit increased - the next exhibition of paintings brought him 600 thousand dollars. His paintings were acquired by art lovers from different countries, in particular Japan, North America and European countries. Famous collectors have replenished their collections with the works of the little artist, and they still continue to do so.

In total, over the past five years, Kieron Williamson has earned $ 2.3 million from the sale of his works. So, at the age of 11, he became a real dollar millionaire.

Kieron Williamson's own business

Today the young artist is the owner of Kieron Williamson Limited. Due to his young age, he is not able to fully manage the company, so his parents help him in this, who by their profession are also related to the world of art. Kieron's hard work and tenacity can only be envied - he creates several paintings a week, which are recognized as real masterpieces by connoisseurs of impressionism.

No matter how much Kieron draws, this is still not enough to satisfy the entire demand of buyers for his paintings. People are lining up to buy Williamson's paintings that have not yet been made. As the artist himself says, the number of people in the queue varies from 500 to 3 thousand buyers. The paintings are easily sold at quite impressive prices - from 3,500 to 30,000 dollars.

Looking at the works of this 11-year-old boy, it is hard to believe that such pictures were created by a child. According to critics, he paints at the level of a fully accomplished adult artist who knows all the techniques and nuances of art.

Kieron's parents are somewhat perplexed by the genius of their son. On the one hand, they are very happy and proud for their child, and on the other hand, they are afraid that popularity can inflict a psychological blow on the child. The sudden talent of the little boy caused a lot of gossip in the media. Some publications even wrote that in fact the paintings are created by an adult artist, and then the authorship is attributed to the child. Such a marketing ploy.

However, Kieron himself is least of all worried about what they say about him. He just creates his masterpieces and, I must say, his family lives in abundance thanks to him. Recently, Kieron's parents bought a new luxurious house, and finally said goodbye to life in rented apartments.

However, painting is not the only thing that captivates Kieron. The boy dreams of becoming a football star, and often plays this game with his friends. What will happen to Kieron when he grows up, now no one knows. Will he become a world football player, as he dreams, or will further develop in the direction of painting, time will tell. But what he has already achieved at the age of 11 is undoubtedly worthy of respect.

As you can see, everyone has their own path to. Someone earns their millions with talent, someone with perseverance, someone with non-standard ideas. The main thing is to do what you really like and what you are passionate about with all your soul. And then success is just around the corner!
