don't think so. I know he has a social network for families with Mark Bao and an app store for business apps. But at most those are 10-50K a year businesses...at least in the foreseeable future.

He has a couple more past businesses too. I'm not sure it matters though; he knows how to make money. The only real difference is volume.

In the context of "how to make a lot of money in a short time period", volume is pretty much the key differentiator.

Thats exactly what I mean. Jason may or may not have a million - but he understands how to make wealth. This is possible to scale to meet the timeline as required.

Are you in fact a millionaire?

Excellent point.

On the other hand, I know plenty of millionaires who never could have made a post like Jason's.

Why? Because of how they became millionaires. Either they inherited, joined a family business, climbed the corporate ladder, held onto or flipped real estate, grew a conventional business in the perfect climate, or just got plain lucky.

Better: Have you earned a million dollars through your own start-up > once?

I think this is a really useful article, and honestly the advice sounds like good and rational advice. So I hope it's clearly that I'm genuinely not snarking when I say this:

Why would one want to be a millionaire?

This isn't to say that there's no reason to try. It's only to say that most people don't think about how much it costs to become a millionaire. Maybe some things are just worth more...
