Become a millionaire by learning from millionaires
An Eventual Millionaire is someone who knows they will be a
millionaire, eventually. But they want to do it on their own
terms–with an enjoyable life and an enjoyable business.
Eventual Millionaires are everywhere, from the airplane pilot
looking to start his own business for more freedom and money to a
student looking to start her life on the right foot to a successful
business owner needing inspiration and wondering how to take her
business to the next level.
There are many ways to become a millionaire, but research has
often shown that creating your own business is one of the best ways
to build wealth. The Eventual Millionaire will lay the
foundation for those looking to start their own business and work
their way toward financial independence and a fulfilled life.
* Contains the insights of more than 100 millionaires and their
various experiences
* Written by Jaime Tardy, founder of eventualmillionaire.com and
a business coach for entrepreneurs
* A companion website includes an ‘Eventual Millionaire Starter
Kit’ with worksheets, business plan documents, and much more
We all want to be successful and enjoy financial security, but
we might not know how or don’t think we can do it. The
Eventual Millionaire will show you what it takes.
