Hello friends! My name is Timur Mirzaev, I am an immigrant, business enthusiast and owner of 5 large companies in the USA, Canada and Uzbekistan. And in the last year also blogger talking about how to succeed in the USA those who come from another country. Subscribe to my instagramso as not to miss the most interesting things. Everyone defines success in their own way: for some, it’s family; for others - glory; and for many - self-realization. If you are one of those who strive to realize themselves in business and earn a million (or maybe a billion) dollars, you are in the right place!

There is a specific formula for how to become a dollar millionaire.

1. You need to learn how to work

Not from 8 to 5, but specifically a lot of work on your goal (80 hours a week).

2. Read at least 1 book per week

52 books come up in a year. But this is not just about fiction or detective stories, but about professional literature and about-business topics. This makes it possible to raise your awareness in all processes related to your field, as well as learn from the mistakes of others.

3. Do not change industry often

Otherwise, every time you have to start over and accumulate expertise. If you look at the stories of famous wealthy people, then all of them made money in their "business of their lives", and did not jump from industry to industry.

Thus, we get our cherished formula: 80 hours of work on a goal + 1 book per week + one line of work = dollar millionaire.

It is generally accepted that if these conditions are met, after 2 years you can actually earn $200-250 thousand a year. In 5 years - already a million dollars. In 10 years - $100 million, and in 20 - a billion dollars on the doorstep.

Sounds tempting, doesn't it? I believe that it works and I try to follow it myself.

The only thing worth thinking about before starting: do you need this million at the cost of such efforts and time? And if you are sure that yes, then let nothing stop you.

Of course, you won’t be able to earn a million by spending your days in the office of someone else’s company. We need our own business. But where to get start-up capital? There will be a million later, but the money is needed right away. The answer is simple - you need to accumulate starting capital.

How to learn to save money

Every adult independent person should be able to save money. I know that there are many people, and I used to be one of them, who drain money as soon as it gets into their hands.

When I got married, I realized that we would not live like this for long, I have a family and responsibility for them. And I began to learn to save. Yes, there were times when I wanted to buy some thing or "toy", but the thrill of watching my savings grow outweighed.

I did not buy on purpose and soon began to enjoy the fact that I myself control my cash flow, and not me.

When you have a money pillow, you always feel confident in life and in business. What am I telling you, for sure, you have experienced this feeling many times from the amount earned.

There are different ways to save money:

• set aside a fixed amount every month / from every income;
• a savings account that can be funded but cannot be withdrawn for a certain period of time;
• organize a fund for the future of your child (if you need more serious motivation) and replenish it regularly;
• put change from the store in the bank;
• refuse to show off.

There is a wonderful book “The Richest Man in Babylon”. In addition to worldly financial wisdom, it offers this method - to save 10% of each income, regardless of the amount earned. Without exception.

The other 10% at this time goes to pay off loans and debts. It's minimum. If you have the opportunity to save more, go ahead!

But remember, if there are unpaid debts, then it makes no sense to just save without paying off the debts, especially if the debts are loans with interest.

In general, if you are completely into this topic - dark forest, then start with the book and 10%. The main key in this “game” is consistency, and by following these simple rules, you can soon be pleasantly surprised.

When you've set aside enough money to start a business, then you need to choose the right work model. Believe me, not everyone who decided to start a business became millionaires. Many were left with nothing. In order not to be among them, you need to properly plan the opening of your business (here I painted everything step by step)as well as choosing the right business model.

Business models that work in different ways, but are equally successful in generating income

These are my top business models for any entrepreneur:

1. Free product (for example, content or access to the site), and income comes from advertising. A good example is YouTube.

2. The basic version is free, but upgrades cost an additional fee. This model in English is called the Freemium model, and a good example of such a business model is LinkedIn.

3. Average price model. Not the most attractive for some clients, but nevertheless successfully existing on the example of auto and other types of insurance. In short, a young and healthy patient will pay for medical insurance in the United States no less than an old and sick patient, thereby partially offsetting the latter's expenses.

4. Traditional model "product cost + margin". Bought/made for 20 dollars - sold for 30. Everything is clear here.

5. Subscription. To use Netflix, for example, you need to pay from $ 8 to $ 13 monthly, depending on the type of subscription.

6. The volume-oriented model. The more services you buy, the more buns you get. This can include real estate agencies and other “buy a house through our agency, get a piece of land in addition”, or a package of services for 5 years, etc. etc.

7. Commission from sales. This is the favorite model of all salespeople - the more you sell, the more you earn on commission.

8. Cheap product, expensive service. It is also a fairly popular model when you sell a service, but in order to further consult on this issue with specialists, you need to pay a certain amount per year.

9. Low entry price, goodies - for extra money. For example, the cheapest base Tesla model can be bought for $ 30 (which is very affordable for most people in the States). However, if you want to add a leather interior of a certain color, wheels or a fancy trip computer, then the car will cost twice as much.
