The Millionaire's Secrets #1 (The Greatest Money Making Asset That Will Make You Become a Millionaire)

So what is this one asset that all of us already have at our disposal?

No, it's not your double degree, MBA or PhD. from the best universities. And no, it's not the inheritance the 'lucky' get from rich dad, rich uncle or rich grandma to start business.


This asset is so powerful that it will not just give you a 5% return or even a 20% return which you would expect from the stock market. This asset has the potential to give you infinite returns. In fact, if passionately developed, it will give you a 1000% return on your time investment.

The asset I am talking about is something that all of us have been given at birth. It is an asset that all of us have in common. It is this one single asset that will generate for you unlimited wealth and make you become a millionaire. This asset is your mind, also known as your intellectual asset!

When you invest time and money to expand your knowledge and skills, especially your financial education, it will return you millions of dollars in income streams for the rest of your life!

Like Adam Khoo, one of the Singapore's youngest self made millionaires, started with nothing but a hunger for knowledge of how to be a millionaire. Today, he can honestly say that the millions of dollars he has generated for his companies have been spun off from nothing but the ideas in his head. Ideas that would not been there if not for the investment he had made in his financial education.


In the past, the majority of a company's assets were made up of physical stuff like machinery, plant, equipment, and land. You would value a company by adding up the book value of all its fixed assets. Today, over 90% of a company's value is in its intellectual assets! Look at Google, Microsoft, Nike, Berkshire Hathaway or Ebay. They are worth billions of dollars and generate hundreds of millions of dollars a year and yet they hardly own much physical assets. If you were to add up the total value of their factories, bank account, inventories, and office equipment, it would make up less than 5 % of what the company is worth. In fact, Nike doesn't even own many factories. The wealth of these companies lie in the ideas of the people working there.

The same thing goes for you! Over 90% of your wealth is not what you have in your wallet or in the bank, it is the ideas that you have in your head! In the information age of today, one great idea can be worth a million or even a billion dollars. That was how a kid in blue jeans with no money, working out of his adopted parent's garage could become a multi-millionaire at age 25 (Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computers).

That's also how a 35-year old Indian national who arrived in a foreign land (Singapore) without a single dollar in his pocket and nothing but a job offer from a prospective employer, could build a global company with an annual revenue of $3.4 billion with 800 staff in 31 countries all within just five years (Vikas Goel, CEO of eSys Technologies).

Latest brain research has shown us that all of us have basically the same neurology and that all of us share the same phenomenal brain potential. In fact, the average person uses less than one percent of their potential intelligence in their lifetime. So, as long as you have a functioning brain, you are already born with the greatest money making asset that you need to be a millionaire. You have the same exact raw materials available to you as Adam Khoo, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, and Donald Trump. All these millionaires and billionaires started with nothing but their intellectual capital.

Thus, If Adam Khoo, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, and Donald Trump can become self made millionaires and billionaires, so can you!!!
