Alex Silang Getting to $100M networth

The save and use compound interest model could take a life time and you may only reach a fraction of the 100M net worth figure or you need luck like others have mentioned.The quickest way is to do what the rich do and that is to do what JJ Marco focuses on in his book the Millionaire fastlane by either focusing on the 1) Magnitude or the 2) speed/velocity.Increasing Magnitude would be like increasing the ticket item size so if you're a real estate agent instead of selling 250k homes you sell luxury items that you receive your 2.5% commission off of 10,000,000 instead.Increasing Speed/velocity would be how many times you can transact and earn that commission above, profit above in whatever business model it is  whether you're a RE agent, you're selling burgers, or widgets.

Kevin R. Facing a tough decision re: steam heating with a pending sale
5 March 2016 | 12 replies
I can see the following as options:Get rid of the steam boiler and install high-velocity AC/heating (seems like the best, but PRICIEST, option)Limit steam heating to a single unit and install electric baseboard heating on the other two units (perhaps the most cost-effective way to go, though I would still have to install separate AC window units)Limit steam heating to a single unit and install ductless mini-split AC/heaters on the other two unitsRepair/replace the steam boiler with another steam boiler, fix any radiators that have issues, and keep the status quo without zoning heat (not ideal - I can already imagine the third floor being one extreme temperature while the first floor is another)I'm really new to all of this and at a complete loss right now for how to proceed.
