#363: Making your second million

Here is a little known fact about myself. I am working on my second million. That’s right, my ‘second million’.

My first million was a complete disaster.

Many so-called experts will tell you that you must have a dream and then you must focus on it relentlessly, selfishly, unflinchingly and unfailingly. Well, that recipe might work for some people but not for me.

I seem to stumble upon ideas and slip into doing things that I like and that make sense, and somehow I earn money doing so.

Do you know what I’ve learned from all this stumbling and slipping? Always have a Plan B. Actually, the key to success for people like me, the ones who cannot focus single-mindedly on one dream, is this. Dream about your Plan A, but always execute your Plan B.

Remember – successful people tend to be good at Plan B, where the second million is made.
