5 Things Millionaires Do That Most People Don't

My lifelong dream is to create more millionaire students than any other stock trading teacher out there. I’m lucky enough to have reached the seven-figure mark myself, and now, I’m dedicated to sharing everything I’ve learned - including the stock trading patterns that work in any market - with the students in my Millionaire Challenge.
But one thing I realized pretty early on was that, if I wanted to teach people to be millionaires, I had to study people who had already reached this level of wealth. I had to learn what they did differently so that I could help my students to not just hit this magic number, but to retain the money they earn and build generational wealth.
And today, I’m sharing a few of the things I’ve learned with you. I hope they help - no matter what financial stage you’re currently in.

8 WAYS TO ENTICE CUSTOMERS TO PAY FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF BUYING FROM YOU – BUYER CLUB

Do you have ways to entice customers to pay for the privilege of buying from you?

The "normal" way of buying

You know how things work when you go to the store.  You enter the store (both bricks and mortar and also "e-commerce" stores).  You walk around looking at what is for sale.  You see things that you want to buy and you put them in your cart.  You pull out your list and then gather the items that you need to buy.  Perhaps you comparison shop between different items.  You browse the sale items. Then you go to the check out register.  Your items are scanned and then you pay for them and leave the store.
But what if you needed to buy the privilege of buying from you?  What is you needed to previously purchase a "participation" card who's only value was the ability to check and buy from that store?  Wow…what would you think of that?

Do you have a membership option for your customers?  A buyers club?

Well, that time is here.  It has been for many years and there have been many different iterations of this type of program.  Some have been "buyers clubs" where you could purchase big-ticket items for wholesale + a few percent. Others were "wholesale clubs" such as Costco and Sam's Clubs, where you could buy items in bulk at much lower prices than in regular retail stores.  "Photo" clubs where you could get a better price on purchasing of your photo prints.  These are just a few of the different types of programs where customers purchase the privilege of buying from you.
In some cases, joining the club is free.  In others, it costs you real money to join.  Which do you think holds more value to the customer?  You bet…it's the one where they buy the privilege.  When you pay for something, you place a greater value upon it.

Aliko Dangote Reveals He’s Planning To Make A Bid For Arsenal Soon

Nigeria and Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has revealed he will soon be making a bid to buy Arsenal.
Dangote has previously been rumored to have interest in the Premier League side, and in an interview with the BBC, confirmed his interest.
“When we get this refinery on track, I will have enough time and enough resources to pay what they are asking for,” he said in the interview.
Dangote, who is worth a reported £11.5 billion, revealed he had almost purchased part of the club in 2011 when Lady Nina Bracewell-Smith had sold a 15.9% stake in the club, eventually purchased by now majority owner, Stan Kroenke.
“There were a couple of us who were rushing to buy, and we thought with the prices then, the people who were interested in selling were trying to go for a kill,” Dangote added.
“We backtracked, because we were very busy doing other things, especially our industrialisation.”
Dangote also said that Arsenal, who he had been supporting since the ’80s, could be more successful with a change in leadership.
“They are doing well, but they need another strategic direction. They need more direction than the current situation, where they just develop players and sell them.”

Chinese businessman pays $2.35 million to eat lunch with Warren Buffett

A Chinese multimillionaire businessman has agreed to pay $2,345,678 for a private lunch with one of the world's richest men, Warren Buffett. He won the charity auction to have dinner with the billionaire investor. The money will benefit the Glide Foundation (a nonprofit in San Francisco that provides food, health care, rehabilitation and other services to the poor and homeless)



According to Reuters, Glide said the man, Zhu Ye, chairman of Beijing-based Dalian Zeus Entertainment Co, submitted the highest of 76 bids to win the five-day auction on eBay, which concluded on Friday night. His bid was well below the $3,456,789 winning bid in 2012, still a record for an eBay charity auction, but will help Glide meet its $16 million annual budget.
