So You Want To Become a Millionaire, Don’t We All!
Garry Wynters
The Barbados Blog
I think most people dream about becoming a millionaire, and by millionaire, I mean, having a million pounds in cash sitting in your bank account. As Del Trotter said for all those years, In Only Fools and Horses, "this time next year we will be millionaires".
In all seriousness it may have been a comedy, but good old Del Boy, was actually constantly buying and selling things with the dream, the ambition and the desire to become a millionaire. That is probably a lot more than most people who have the dream to become a millionaire!
I know from personal experience how difficult it can be to transform the desire to become a millionaire, into finding a successful business opportunity, which I can use as a springboard to making millions. I suppose most of us prefer the dream because its easier and doesn't involve any real effort, it acts as a distraction as we go about our daily routines.
It was only recently that I have personally being putting the effort into developing business opportunities. Like a lot of people I spent most of my life working as a wage slave, happy with my reasonable comfortable roof over my head, two holidays a year, going out for meals and socialising when I wanted. Life wasn't too bad.
I sat down one day and analysed my life and thought, shit! The way things are going my pension will be worth nothing, I could lose my job any time the company figures out another way to combine even more jobs into one, in order to get even more blood out of the stone. Analysing my life really made me think about the long-term future and what lay ahead. It wasn't pretty! It wasn't inspiring! It wasn't what I dreamt.
I had to stop dreaming about becoming a millionaire and start doing something towards making it become a reality. My self-appraisal of my life and by looking into the crystal ball as to what life may have in store for me, gave me a reality check. What I knew and didn't like was that I wasn't in control of my own destiny.
The day I started putting together the ideas for my Barbados based businesses, which shall be going live in July was truly inspiring. I have slowly but surely cleansed my body, mind and soul of the negative forces, which were stopping me from moving forward on the road to success. We all have to learn how to control our minds to its full potential as opposed to allowing our minds to control us.
I have just recently registered a new domain name for a web site, which I shall be launching at some point this year; I need to get Barbados up and running first. This business idea which I shall for obvious reasons not go into to many details, it was inspired by reading about some crazy business ideas which made the creators serious money. My theory is a simple one, I feel I have a unique idea, and don't see why I cant sell 100,000 at $10 per sale and wolla I have made $1,000,000.
As Del Boy says, this time next year we will be millionaires, it may not be next year, but I'm definitely on the right path to becoming a millionaire. I hope this article can inspiring anybody out there that need more out of life and want to start achieving more. All I can say is, start spending more time thinking about possible business ideas, step out of the box and dare to dream.

After a life working as a wage slave, I have freed myself from the shackles and have escaped the dreaded rat race and am now chasing the dream in the beautiful Caribbean Island of Barbados.
