Not a millionaire
Posted on July 2, 2009 | 3 Comments
Recently a friend of mine was in town for a 3-day seminar on how to become a millionaire. Interesting, I thought, because I’ve come across many such courses but never bothered to go to any. For one thing, the course fees are out of my budget. For another, I’m thinking, well, if everyone who goes for such a course ends up becoming a millionaire, won’t the world be full of millionaires by now?
At any rate, my friend’s course was supposed to be held at a posh hotel, along the lines of a Riviera hotel. Turned out it was held at a nearby convention center to accomodate the 3000+ attendees. As I predicted, she left the course after sitting through it, reluctantly, for the first day when the course leader started hard selling stuff to them and said very little about how to become a millionaire.
She’s just glad she got free tickets to the course and didn’t have to pay the exorbitant fees. She’s not happy about having wasted her traveling expenses and time. Guess she’s given up trying to be a millionaire overnight?

Those course are all scam. I don’t see how anyone can or would be willing to teach you how to become a rich man. This always means that someone else is getting poorer if you get richer. It’s as simple as that. Everything is up to each of us, to seize the opportunity, be the right man at the right time, have a bit of luck and knowledge, and I guess that’s about it.
I think that such courses are total nonsense. It’s just taking money from stupid people. I like to go to the course only for reasons to see the composition of these people.
If becoming a millionaire was that easy, something tells me everyone might well be one! And several times over at that!
