Billionaire is the new Millionaire (Patreon)

When I was just four years old, I had a dream. At an age when most kids were dreaming of being astronauts or superheroes, I was captivated by a different kind of magic: numbers. Specifically, the number one million. I understood what it meant to be a millionaire, in my small brain at the time it meant SIX ZEROS in my local currency... and I decided right then and there that one day, I would be one - one day. I tried to get enough lego pieces to make 1M but that never happened however.

Fast forward to today, and that childhood dream has not only been achieved but smashed. Becoming a millionaire turned out to be easier than I thought—because once you set your sights on a goal and make a plan and take consistent steps toward it, the impossible starts to feel possible. But why stop at a million? The world is full of bigger dreams waiting to be chased.

Take Gwynne Shotwell as an example—and she is a killer lady. As the President and COO of SpaceX, she didn’t just dream big; she worked tirelessly to turn those dreams into reality. Her journey is proof that anyone can rise to unimaginable heights with determination and vision. Today, Shotwell BECAME A billionaire with a net worth of $1.2 billion, thanks to her 0.3% stake in SpaceX. I WILL REPEAT 0.3%! The company itself reached an astounding $350 billion.

What’s inspiring about Shotwell's story is not just the numbers but the lesson behind them: Greatness is built step by step. She didn’t wake up one day as the leader of one of the most innovative companies in the world; she earned her place through hard work, resilience, and a willingness to embrace challenges head-on.

WE CAN ALL DO THIS. Let's go!
