How To Turn $1 Into $1 Million In Less Than 2 Years (ish)

It's midnight. I really need to stop writing blog posts late at night. I should actually be in bed. I have to be up early tomorrow as Rachel and I are off to Prague for a few days to visit some family. No, I haven't packed yet. Obviously.

I usually recommend that people go to bed at a decent hour, and get up fairly early... to fit in with 'normal' people with 'normal' jobs and 'normal' lifestyles. It's psychologically advantageous to take the recommended dosage of sleep at relevant times, as you are more fit to 'think', 'act' and 'function' efficiently. You can work harder and put the maximum effort into everything you do. Plus you don't end up looking like a mouldy Albert Einstein.

Normally, I 'practise what I preach' in all areas of my life and business, but I generally find it hard to go to sleep early.

(I tried counting sheep, but I ended up trying to think of ways to monetize them. Selling jumpers from a web page? Cloning the sheep with a Wordpress plugin to make more jumpers? Using them as outsource employees? The possibilities are limitless).

So, as is regularly the case, I'm not tired and my head is buzzing with ideas, and thoughts of financial deviancy. I'm obsessed with the creation of wealth, and the processes behind it. The more obscure and exciting the theory, the more I'm interested. I find it really difficult to 'switch off', and I'm constantly thinking of clever promotional strategies. Even late at night when I should be in the land of nod, wherever that is.

For example... back in Febuary 2011, I made $4,000 in one day... by sending a single e-mail. Yes, one e-mail made $4,000. That's a whole other blog post, but the point was that I seem to have a 'knack' of creating insane little theories (or experiments!) which make money, almost by accident.

With that in mind, I want to share something with you which has been on my mind for a few months now. Yes, the cogs have been whirring, spinning and clicking around, firing off the sparks in the fuzzy grey matter in my skull about an unusual theory that I've been discussing with a great buddy of mine.

I'll be totally honest and upfront here. This theory isn't directly linked to internet marketing. There is no big 'blueprint' or 'formula' to follow. This is typically an 'offline' wealth creation plan, but I recently realized that it could also work online. Probably better, if anything.

Also... this is TOTALLY theoretical and I HAVE NOT done it. I'll repeat that. This is TOTALLY theoretical and I HAVE NOT done it. In this day and age of disclaimers and FTC lawsuits I take extra care in ensuring that I'm totally transparent at all times.

With that said, the idea that I'm about to teach you will allow you to take $1, and turn it into $1 million in less than two years. In THEORY.

It's brash and far-fetched, I admit. Perhaps even unrealistic. But it is certainly food for thought.

See, everyone in the online space these days is obsessed with the idea of taking almost NO investment and turning it into a million dollars fast. Most sane people (including me) say that it's almost impossible. But what I DO want to show you is that $1million isn't as far away as you would think. Particularly with the power that internet marketing gives us.

Here's how you could do it...

Ready?

Here goes...

Take $1. Put it into a bank account. Then find a way to invest the money that will DOUBLE it each month. After just 20 months you will have made $1,000,000. Or $1,048,576 to be precise. Withdraw the money from the account and go mental.

Don't believe me? I didn't at first. But, let's check the math.

Start with $1.
Month 1: Double it to make $2
Month 2: Double it to make $4
Month 3: Double it to make $8
Month 4: Double it to make $16
Month 5: Double it to make $32
Month 6: Double it to make $64
Month 7: Double it to make $128
Month 8: Double it to make $256
Month 9: Double it to make $512
Month 10: Double it to make $1,024
Month 11: Double it to make $2,048
Month 12: Double it to make $4,096
Month 13: Double it to make $8,192
Month 14 Double it to make $16,384
Month 15: Double it to make $32,768
Month 16: Double it to make $65,536
Month 17: Double it to make $131,072
Month 18: Double it to make $262,144
Month 19: Double it to make $524,288
Month 20: Double it to make $1,048,576

Pretty incredible, right?

Now, before you go posting negative or pessimistic comments, let me explain a couple of things.

1. I know I've made this sound FAR more simple than it is and, although it will be pretty easy for the first few months, further down the line it'll get much harder.

2. I know that this theory is NOT an internet marketing blueprint. I realize that. But that's NOT why I've posted this. The point is, this blog is about making money online... and there is no reason why this 'concept' couldn't be implemented within YOUR online business. IN THEORY.

Right now, in this difficult economic times, we are constantly being told that "no one has any money" and "money is tight" and "businesses are feeling the pinch". It's easy to feel 'down' or like you'll never make it big like those Guru dudes.

I felt like that once too. Now, I'm running a successful six-figure company. This year I expect to turn over in excess of $500,000. Next year we hope to turn over $1million or more. I have the world at my feet and life feels great.

I REALLY want you to be successful oto. That's why I've written this post, to give you the nudge that you need to realize that $1million isn't as far away as you might have originally thought.

Food for thought? I'd hope so.

Just by investing $1, and doubling it each month for twenty months will profit $1,000,000. Offline, that's pretty damn hard. Online, it could be much easier.

Who is up for the challenge? Are you? Leave me a comment with YOUR ideas. Become accountable to yourself and post your ambitions to implement this.

Goodnight.
