At this stage, you've got zero debt except your monthly hosting bills. You fully own the titles to your vehicles and your house. You may even be working towards financing your own children's college education bills.
You did it by hustling and hard work, listening to the advice of others, making connections, taking risks, networking, being the best that you can be, cutting things off that fail, invigorating things that you think can still get better, sticking with winners when possible to offset your losses, not being afraid to fail, thinking as hard as possible and much harder than others, and realizing that it's all about eyeballs, return customers, SEO, and ads. The Internet is your real estate home and you'll be working to own compelling sites upon it.
Now is the time to bring in more outsource contractors and have them do the work for you, using more script automation so that you can generate the base site for an idea in a matter of seconds, then customize from there.
However, if you want to become a millionaire, it's still a long road ahead. I mean, you might be a quarter of that at this point. To help give yourself a boost, you need to move into sharing your knowledge with ebooks, books, tapes, podcasting, videos, and perhaps even seminars and workshops. Some may say, why would I want to pay you for this advice when if it's so good, why do you need me? Tell them up front that, frankly, the reason you need them is because you have knowledge to share, and sharing that gives you even more money, and because there is risk involved here and not everyone can make it to the top. They'll appreciate that if you tell them this up front. Then, move on to helping them understand the systems and how you made it big.
Eventually you'll be on the seminar tour around the world, and it will feel like hustling again. It will be tough because while you do this, you'll be paying employees and contractors to follow the same things you're teaching others to do, and you'll be making money from their efforts. As you do this more and more, you'll improve your seminars, books, and so on.
