I remember back when I was younger joking around with mates about what you would do for a million dollars tax free money; I have heard everything from very heterosexual men confessing they would give another guy a head job and swallow to others willing to cut off a finger.

We tend to joke about it because secretly as much as we would love it to come true we know no one is going to offer us a $1,000,000 simply for doing stupid stuff …or is there?

Recently Alki David from BattleCam.com recently held a competition what offered a $1,000,000 to streak in front of President Obama.

As you could image it didn’t take long for someone to step up to the plate and that man was… drum roll please…. Juan J. Rodriguez

However just like when we are messing around with our friends it seems like it might just be a fantasy for Mr Rodriguez too, more on that in a moment.

… But this got me thinking – almost all of us wish for financial freedom and riches, as a result we are presented with advertisements, products and courses about various ways to create wealth ranging from property investment, shares, start a business, forex, home business,  mlm, online information business, blogging, affiliate marketing and the list goes on.

You can find a role model of someone who has achieved financial riches in almost any walk of life to use as a role model that best suits your personality. There are many coaches and courses that are proven to have produced multimillionaires if you follow and implement what is taught.

Yet 99.8% of people would still rather buy a lottery ticket or swallow another man’s seamen just for the lure of a $1,000,000 or the perceived happiness that would supply.

Even though they know that this is just a fantasy all along.

For the record I am not a millionaire nor am I financially free but I find it ridiculous when people complain so much about money and how they hate their work and life’s a struggle and all that crap, they say they would do anything even cut off a finger to get out of the situation they are in.

I am here to tell you, you don’t need a magic genie that grants wishes for doing jackass stunts, you need to realise there are no excuses and only choices and you have the power to do whatever you want, yes there is going to be a transition period but if you have a DISICION stay focused you will wake up one day living what you dreamed of just a few months or years ago.

What about our mate Juan J. Rodriguez did he get the $1,000,000?

Well unfortunately no.

The rules stated amounts others that President Obama had to see him to qualify for the million dollars. However despite the failed attempt, David from BattleCam.com has agreed to pay all Rodriguez’s sister’s hospital bills, Rodriguez’s rent for the next year and will provide him with an additional undisclosed amount of cash.

To change the direction of the post, leave a comment letting me know what you would do with a $1,000,000 if you were given it?

Have you ever really thought about what you really want? Most people say they want to be rich or want a million dollars; however this is not really what you want it is what you think the money will do for you. So what would you do if you were earning a million dollars a year?

Go travelling, be a full time parents, spend more time with your spouse… Well what if I told you that you can have all this and live like a millionaire without being one.

Welcome to the New rich…To live your dream life doesn’t necessary require a lot of money in fact it can be a surprising small amount when you really do the math. What you do need to be is use different strategies and think a little different from what you are doing now.

I am sure you have heard of the Pareto’s 80/20 Principle which states that 80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts.

We live in a wonderful era where the world is connected and you can access almost anything though a click of a mouse. This also includes other professional in other countries with MBA’s that are willing to do your work for pennies on the dollar. What am I talking about? Outsourcing!

To live like a millionaire you first need to identify and stop doing 80% that is only bring in 20% of the results and focus more on the 20% that results in 80% of your results. If you can’t stop doing them simply delegate them and outsource the tasks.

Let me give you an example. If you need to do tasks like research, send emails, formatting, etc you could hire a virtual assistant for $5 an hour so you can focus on more important tasks that bring in bigger results – the 20% If you do this you will have more time, less stress and will earn more money quicker simply because you are now focusing more on the 20% that brings in 80% of your results.

This can be done whether you are an employee or and business owner. Tim Ferriss has mastered this and has written a book called the 4 Hour Work Week, I highly recommend you read it and apply it. There truly is no end to what you can outsource, you simple just need to use your imagination.

Tim Ferriss is a master a life style design and show you how to live like a millionaire without being one.

Watch this funny experiment Tim did to see how far you can take this idea – Welcome to the new rich.
