I Could Never Make $xx,xxx,xxx…

Only 1/10th of 1% of the people in the United States have a net worth of more than five million dollars ($5,000,000).

Only 1/10th of 1%?  That’s 357,000 people!  That’s more than the population of New Orleans, or Honolulu, or Cincinnati.

If you could get just 10% of the richest 1/10th of 1 percent of the U.S. population (just 35,700 people) to give you $100, you’d have $3.57 million.  Or, you could get just 1% of them (3,570 people) to give you $1000.  Or just .1% of them (357 people) to give you $10,000.

No matter what your number is, there are a lot of ways to get there, but having a plan is the first step.  The skills required to get 357 people to give you $10,000 are different than the skills required to get 357,000 to give you $1.  Figure out what skills you need for the path you want to take, and go from there.
