How to become rich? – Your salary paycheck cannot make you rich

What do you do for living? If you are doing 9 to 5 Job, it is very difficult for you to become rich. It is a reality that your salary paycheck alone cannot make you rich. In order to prove this argument let’s do a small exercise.

Well, I could not find anyone on my list who is doing job and rich also. The name which appears in my list is given below.

One thing which is common in all of above is they are businessmen cum entrepreneur and not an employee. They employee people to do the job.

I have asked a similar question to my friends, in their list of rich people also I could not find anyone who is rich and doing a job. If you think a while you may find one or two name who is rich and doing a job, but these people will be either with white hair or no hair. If you want to become rich with white hair job is not a bad option. You can become rich or carorepati in 15-20 years after getting 3-4 promotions. However, what is the advantage of becoming rich when you are older? You will be rich for your children and not for you. If you want to be rich for yourself business is the only option for you.

First of all, you need to decide what you are going to do after leaving a job. You must be having a financial obligation. How you are going to run the show without money? Follow the steps below before leaving a job.

If you have a problem in following any of above steps or if you are worried about failure in business. I suggest you to start a side business along with a job. It is an old and proven way to transit from job to business. You might have seen many people does side business after office hours and once side business generates the good income they quit their job.

Let me give you a small example from famous book “Connect The Dots” of author Rashmi Bansal. Mr. N Mahadevan was a professor in madras university but he was passionate about starting hotel. He joined small hotel in part time to understand their business. After gathering enough money and understanding prototype of business, he left the prestigious job of professor and started his own hotel called as Oriental Cuisines. Today Oriental Cuisines has more than 100 odd outlets across the country and giving employment to multiple people.
