Perhaps the title, What Self-Made Millionaires Do That Most People Don't, grabbed your attention. If you are like most individuals, you work long hours and wonder what others do to become successful knowing that they have the same twenty-four hours in each day.

Becoming a self-made millionaire may sound like a daunting task. After you read this book, however, you will realize that it is not. The secret is discovering what to do and then staying on course.

You may be saying to yourself: I am twenty-five years old. I am only a few years into my career and I want to have fun. I just bought the car I have dreamed of owning since I was sixteen. I'll get serious about saving in ten years.

Or you may be thinking: I have a family with kids to feed, bills to pay, and a big mortgage for our four-bedroom house. Unless I win the lottery or inherit money from a long-lost uncle, I will never become a millionaire.

Or you may be saying: I have been in my career for twenty years. It is too late to start now. I take trips with the extra money that I have.

Although you may need to delay instant gratification and re-prioritize your goals, recognize that the only thing keeping you from starting on this course is you! By being attracted to this book, it shows that you have a desire to achieve this status.

Why put off for tomorrow what you can begin doing today? Whether you are on straight commission, making an hourly wage of $11, or are between the ages of twenty and sixty-five and earn the median wage for U.S. workers of $44,564, start now! The sooner you begin this journey, the sooner you will achieve this status.

Please don't be fooled. This self-made millionaire quest may take you five, ten, twenty, thirty years, or longer to achieve. It depends on how many of the fifty-two secrets you already have in place as well as the financial foundation that you have for beginning your journey. So, set your self-made millionaire GPS directions and get started!

Some of the secrets for achieving self-made millionaire status have nothing to do with money. You will see that they have to do with your character, your attitude, your people skills, your saving and spending patterns, and your habits in general.

Do not let not having enough money keep you from beginning this trip. By starting today, you will be one day closer to achieving this goal. You will not have to live the life of a pauper. Au contraire! You will be living the life of a successful person because of the road map that you will have created for yourself. Just think how gratified you will feel along the way to know with certainty that you are moving in the right direction.
