There are a total of 46.8 million millionaires worldwide at the beginning of the year 2020, and they collectively own approximately $158.3 trillion. There are millions of millionaires in the world and the number is increasing with each year. The only question that you should ask yourself, is why you are not one of them yet? How did those people become millionaires or even billionaires? Did they have a great 9 to 5 job that paid them really well? Most definitely not! They are all business owners and own shares of their own public company. No one becomes a billionaire by simply earning a salary from a job each year. People become wealthy by owning a significant share position in a company that is listed in the stock market. But how did they start out? How do you become a multi millionaire? They all started with a business idea. Then they incorporated a corporation, issued shares for themselves and raised money from investors. Eventually, they took the company public in the stock market and it was valued a several hundred millions of dollar. I have raised $40 million in 2.5 years from 500 investors and his company was valued at over $300 million in the stock market. Actually, I raised over $400 million from private investors and $600 million from institutional investors in my career since 1995. But the goal of this book is to teach you the things that you need to know to raise the first one or two million dollars by yourself so that you can take your company public in the stock market and attract millions more afterwards. This book will teach you everything about this process and how I have done it.
