To become a multi millionaire and retire early doesn’t need any qualifications, special talents, luck or an education.
All you need is the right attitude, belief system, enthusiasm and to follow your passion
When I was young, I was made to believe by my parents that I would need a University degree if I wanted to become rich (wrong belief system).
I wasn’t the brightest of pupils, so I struggled at school and at University. I studied for a Bachelor of Commerce which is a 3 year course.
When I was in my second year at University, after repeating my first year again, one of our lecturers told us a story of how some students had dropped out of University after being there for only 6 months and went on to become multi millionaires.
That day was life-changing for me as I realised I didn’t need a degree to become a millionaire.
Two months into my final year (1973) I left University at the age of 22 and went into the restaurant business with a start up capital of $1000 (R2,000.00) which I had saved.
I reached my financial goal in 8 years by the age of 30 and could have retired.
