I read a book near the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey called “The Millionaire Next Door” that showed how thousands of millionaires had made their money. My goal was to read it, copy what the millionaires had done, and get rich.

It sounded like a foolproof plan.
But as with most things, there was some good and some bad and some ugly lessons to be learned.
The good lessons showed that there were actually a lot more millionaires out there than I had previously thought. As of today, there are somewhere around 1,700 new millionaires made EVERY single day.
The bad showed that the path to get there was slow. And it often took the millionaires 20 to 30+ years to build their wealth.
And the ugly is simply the fact that the book, often cited today as a guide to getting rich, was first published in 1996 and a LOT has changed since then. A LOT!!
Fast forward to this morning….
I was reading another book, just released this year called “Barista to Billionaire“. It’s a good read. But what really stood out to me was the business the author used to launch his billion dollar empire.
Any guesses?
It wasn’t real estate or stocks.
It wasn’t a profession like law or accounting.
And it wasn’t a skilled trade or a technical field either.
The first successful business that the author launched, and the one that ultimately paved his way for hundreds of millions in future earnings was:
A marketing agency.
Yes, you read that right.
Now, why is that so important?
Because in today’s world, unlike in 1996, the barriers to entry for starting a marketing agency are lower than ever before. And with the right strategy, tools, and a bit of work, you can build an agency that doesn’t just generate income, it creates wealth.
But here’s the kicker: You don’t need to wait 20 or 30 years to see significant results.
The digital age has accelerated everything, including the potential to make a lot of money faster than ever before.
The author of “Barista to Billionaire” leveraged the power of modern marketing to grow his agency quickly, and the same opportunities are available to you today.
The key takeaway?
While the principles of wealth-building from “The Millionaire Next Door” are still relevant. Simple obvious things like living below your means and investing wisely, the game has changed. Massively.
And if you’re looking to build substantial wealth in a fraction of the time, starting your own marketing agency could be your ticket.
If you’ve ever thought about launching an agency, or if you’re looking for a way to accelerate your income and build long-term wealth, this might be the sign you’ve been waiting for. The opportunities are there; it’s just about seizing them.
