    There is no so many ifs in our real life. I think we'd better save time from this day dream to do some actual thing to earn money.

    Well, if I have 5 million dollars then:

    40% of it invest in the business to make another 5 million dollars,
    30% of it invest in different savings,
    20% of it spend to travelling in whole world with family,
    10% of it donate for the physical disable persons.

      It's not quite the huge sum it seems - it really isn't.

      Even if you don't spend a penny of it (how many of us would manage that?), and invest it all securely to live off the interest, withdrawing all the interest every month and not worrying about the capital being depleted in real terms against inflation ... it probably gives you less than $20k of monthly income. Ok, plenty to live comfortably, I agree, but far from mega-wealth, and a lot less than many successful people's salaries. I'm just saying ... :confused:

    I'd buy a stretch of Canadian coast where seals breed and tell the hunters to bug off -forceably if necessary.

    Then I'd buy 2 small homes with around 15 acres each - one in the North and one in the South for winters.

    Invest a portion, put a portion in the bank, then do some serious traveling and go to all the gem hunting areas in the US that I have always wanted to go to.

    Then I'd go home (to the N or S one according to the time of year it was) and get back to work.

    I am set on earning those millions...then:

    I will start my own research company to create a practical fusion reactor. Once I succeed in creating a clean, affordable, practically limitless source of energy, I will publicly demonstrate my device, and announce that I am holding its secrets for ransom.

    Unless the government deregulates huge sectors of the economy, abolishes the federal reserve, relinquishes the unconstitutional powers it has abused in recent years, pays off the national debt, balances the budget, and quickly eliminates the income tax, I will refuse to release the design. I intend to stage things in such a way that if I am killed, my secrets will disappear with me.

    If my demands are met, I will open-source the design so any company in the world could manufacture or improve upon the device without any licensing fees, revitalizing the economy, creating real, honest employment, and introducing a new era of freedom and prosperity for man the world over.

    My goals will be made public through internet, social networking, and huge media buys. If the bureaucrats refuse to comply, the public outcry would be so great as to spark a revolution. They will have no choice but to renounce their power, or have it taken from them.

    I'd give $100,000 of it to Kim Winfrey.

    Then I would take a Million Dollars and spend a year with a team of pro's developing a massive network of passive income streams from the internet... and I would also take another million and hire a pro, as per my instructions, to and set up and manage a call center for me in the Middle of Chicago, where all the TM's are REAl hardcore...and I'd hire about 50 people to work the bower method like a machine for 8 hours per day like a freight train.... and build up about 10 million per year in residual income.

    And I would sit behind my monitor and orchestrate the "web" end... as well as stepping in for the occassional "Speech" , Announcements, or "Pep Talk" sort of thing...and playing Santa Clause... I might even buy a starbuck kiosk and set it up for them... Nothin but the best jet fuel for the "talent" please.

    I might stroll through here and there waiting on my TM's while they were rckin or saying something encouraging... on most days thought I might not even come in till 2:00 then I maybe in shorts, driving a Harley, just stopping in to check w my MGR about the numbers...

    In fact I'd do him most of the time like ole Bob Foster use to do me, and made me report the numbers every quarter via text message, because he didnt want to be bothered with a call...

    I would probably have a video on the telemarketing forum that ran at all times showing my room LIVE in action.

    I would probably also take 100k and create some really awesome software and tools for my telemarketing forum members... like MIND BLOWING stuff!

    I talk alot about starting on a shoe string for people, but when you can start out with CASH is IS better.... easier to get traction rather and get the ball rolling faster...

    Sometimes you have to make the cash with your biz model, instead of having it handed to you...

    In any event, when you can afford to start out paying people really well, and creating a prosperous atmosphere, they will do ANYTHING to keep their job, and thus you get twice the production... They know they have it made, and they dont want to screw up!

    I dont usually answer when someone says "What would you do with $5,000"... truth is I'd probably spend it before Breakfast... BUT 5 MILLION?

    Thats inspiring.

    Buy a 5 bedroom house in a nice area. Buy a new car or two. Buy electronics, appliances, and furniture to go into my new home. Buy some new clothes. Invest in my business. Go on a month long vacation. Hire someone to run business before I go on vacation. Invest the rest in any way that will make a decent interest rate rather than the standard .25%. That's just ridiculous.

    Ps. I would put 2.5 mill in the bank and leave it there. then use the other 2.5 mil to create another 2.5 mil and stick it in the bank...and leave it there... eventually I would have an account for everyone important in my life that drew enough interest for them to comfortably pursue their dreams on...

    me? I'd probably be somewhere with a pair of jeans and a fender telecaster in my hands trying to figure out some lick and remotely managing my call center out on the deck via internet... while everyone else is out shopping and stuff... and of course hangin out some on the TMF and Warrior forum...

    I think I ALREADY do what makes me passionate come to think of it.

    1. Pay off my debts.
    2. Buy a bigger house with ramps and a wheelchair van for my grandmother-in-law who is caring for my disabled sister-in-law.
    3. Buy a house big enough for me, my husband and my two best friends while still having room for the kids I am hoping for soon.
    4. Buy a car so my husband does not need to bus everywhere.
    5. Help my mother pay off my baby sister's medical bills.
    6. Help families with disabled children. Both my husband and I have baby sisters with cerebral palsy. His cannot speak or walk. Mine has a shunt in her brain and has vision and mobility issues.
    7. Help abused and battered women. My mother married abusive men twice when I was a child and I have seen firsthand what it does to a family.
    8. And finally I would help my local homeless shelter. This is another thing I experienced firsthand and it can be very confusing for a child, especially when a shelter is forced to turn you away.

    If I had any left I would find a way to invest it so I can continue helping those good causes.
