If we told you that there are only four ways to make money, would that feel less overwhelming? At The Money Gym we subscribe to Malcolm Gladwell's theory as laid out in The Tipping Point - anything between 3 and 7 is a good number.By breaking it down into the "Four Lanes" we can break down the question of how to become a millionaire within five years and examine each lane to see how suitable it is, as a vehicle to reach this goal.We can then look at the fastest way to make money in each lane, then examine how achieveable this is, then look at what will need to happen to tackle the plan, then time-line it so we have some interim goals.This article is in three parts so make sure and hunt down Part 2 and Part 3!We have a lot of experience in strategic wealth creation planning, hundreds of clients have been through The Money Gym and we have heard every variation of every question.First though, let's look at the definition of a millionaire and then lets dare to ask the question "why"?1.

A degree educated schoolteacher once turned to me in all sincerity and said,"There must be enough homes now." He had been spendingsome time looking at new developments to find an apartmentfor himself and there were hundreds of them. Their craneslitter the skylines of almost every Polish city and town.On the surface there does seem to be a great deal ofbuilding going on but this is not large scale for Polandwhen considered historically.
