After three years, you may be sick of listening to me – besides, by now, you should be $2 million or $3 million into your own $7 million 7 year journey, so what can I teach you? – so, here is some really important advice from Darwin Deason, a self-made billionaire entrepreneur:
Forbes Magazine: You have $100,000–where do you put it?
Darwin Deason: It depends on age and goals–but if I was young, I’d put all of it in a company that a) I could directly influence or control, and b) that I loved.

This Deason guy sounds pretty smart. I like his advice.Pretty simple,covers a lot of what you have already taught us.I Like the investing in something you can control,or influence.
Should you be making 1m a year every year in your 7m7y journey or is it build, build, and then have 7m once the 7 years is up?
It’s all too easy to think 7m in 7y, then perhaps I can make 1m in 1y, but I don’t think it works that way?
“7m in 7y, then perhaps I can make 1m in 1y, but I don’t think it works that way?”
@ Winalot – Agree! Simple compounding will show that the biggest $$$ gains come in the last 12 months of your journey …
