The Eventual Millionaire: How Anyone Can Be An Entrepreneur And Successfully Grow Their Startup

More and more people around the world are becoming entrepreneurs, according to a Global Entrepreneurship Monitor 2011 report. The world’s so-called “innovation-driven” economies saw an increase of 22% in early-stage entrepreneurship in 2011 over the year before, as measured by the number of people operating a business that’s less than 3.5 years old. In the United States, entrepreneurial activity increased a whopping 60% in 2011 from 2010. The boost in US entrepreneurship is somewhat of a mixed indicator, signaling that while the economy is improving, some people are turning to entrepreneurship because it’s becoming evident that some jobs may never come back. People want to build a business for their own security, to build wealth, to have a retirement account, to help create jobs, and to make their lives more meaningful. But, these same people need to hear from others who are have done it. They need practical advice and how-to’s, but they also need the inspiration.

An Eventual Millionaire is someone with a goal to 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 an 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. The Eventual Millionaire brings the philosophy outlined in Think and Grow Rich to a new generation, laying the foundation for those looking to start their own business and work their way toward financial independence and a fulfilled life.
