This article isn’t about Instagram millionaires.
They have huge egos and bore me to tears. They think fame and luxury are wealth when, in fact, that’s a version of hell I’d rather stay away from.
You might wonder how I have the time to interview all these millionaires. Well, I haven’t worked a traditional job for some time. Writing and researching money topics is what I do full-time.
I’d have to be an idiot not to recognize some patterns these millionaires share with me.
The goal isn’t for you to become Lambo-rich by learning them. It’s to learn a few nuggets of wisdom that can make you moderately wealthy — that’s a more realistic goal.
Here are the practices that made these millionaires wealthy.
You can get rich quick
Many of these millionaires I’ve spoken with got rich quick.

They often put an unreasonable amount of time into their career or business. One guy I spoke with tweeted 300 times a day to build his enormous fitness business in under a year.
Most of us wouldn’t do that.
Why? It’s extremely hard. We’d think we wouldn’t have time or that we were wasting our time. Getting wealthy is hard work. You have to play life on hard mode for a while.
