The principle of the Problem solver :How to generate wealth

Wealth begins as a mindset, if you can visualise success and your willing to cultivate the habbits to posess it then you can own it. Success is a seductress, a mischievous temptress teasing you, tempting you , challenging you; at each step you must up your game. 

What do you really see in your future? Who do you see yourself becoming? We have a habbit of letting the chinese whispers of others form us, yet it is for you to identify your strengths your kryptonite, and ultimately become a fully formed human being. 

The journey towards wealth will be trying, challenging, but it will engage you at every level, within every core, you must not just question your needs but how to solve the peace of mind of others. This is what will give you access, this is what will translate to wealth. An understanding of social, environmental, economical, class challenges, and how your input can create positive social impact.

Your goal is to look at transformative intervention. Creative ways you can devise and assist, ingenious ways you can solve a problem for the masses, be inspired by those who came before you and plant your own seed.  If these guys can do it....well...."a rock that becomes a pet?"

Pet Rock

Ridiculously Rich Person Behind It: Gary Dahl

Estimated Profit: $15M in just the first six months

The idea of selling a rock is about as ridiculous as it gets. But one man figured out how to sell them and make millions in just a few short months.

Dahl, a former advertising executive, sold his rocks for $3.95 on a bed of hay. Each sale earned him a profit of roughly $3.

He sold the rocks as "hassle-free" pets, complete with a pet training manual and a card board box fashioned after a pet carrier. The rocks were an instant hit and turned into one of the greatest fads of all time.

Yellow Smiley Faces

Ridiculously Rich People Behind It: Bernard and Murray Spain

Estimated Profit: $500MM

You order takeout and the deliveryman leaves you with a white plastic bag. On the exterior is a goofy yellow smiley face grinning back at you, encouraging you to "Have A Nice Day!" You take your food and plop in front of the television to find the same stupid smiley rolling down the isles of a Wal-mart ad, bringing customers shopping cheer as they peruse the super store.

Now imagine your father is the one who first drew this world-renown image. Imagine further how upset you would be if your father never trademarked his image, and only made a measly $45 from the icon. This is the story of Charlie Ball's life.

Back in 1963 his father, Harvey, first drew the happy face for his PR company's client, State Mutual Life Insurance. The only money the Ball's ever made from the simple sketch was the two-figure dollar amount they made selling it to the client. 

So who did make all that money off the brilliantly simple symbol? Two brothers, Bernard and Murray Spain, stumbled upon the unrealized potential of the smiley. Wanting to start a novelty store, Bernard and Murray bought the legal rights to the mark along with the now infamous tag-line,"Have a nice day." The brothers began slapping the image on everything possible. The yellow smiley swept the nation and soon, the world. The fad peaked in 1971 and diminished after a year and a half, but that was enough time to do a lot of damage—50 million in sales worth of damage.

The Spain's opened the first Dollar Express in the '80s where they continued to sell the smiley. In 2000, they sold their chain to Dollar Tree for $500 million.

And what of Harvey Ball? He became a yellow smiley-based philanthropist. What else would you do if you let a gazillionaire-dollar idea slip through your fingers?

iFart App

Ridiculously Rich Person Behind It: Joel Comm

Estimated Profit: $400K

Here's a half-assed, half-a-million-dollar idea for you. Somewhere, in Joel Comm's sordid mind, out squeaked the iFart, the whoopee cushion for the iPhone. What's even crazier? He thought people would pay for the app. iFart retails for $.99. And, the absolutely insane part about this all? Joel Comm was right.

Hate on it all you want, Joel Comm gets the last laugh. His application has been buzzed about all over the media and pranksters everywhere love the 26 flatulent noises it encompasses, including "Record-A-Fart," "Fart-a-Friend," and "Sneak Attack." The app was downloaded 113,885 during its first two weeks on the market. To quote Jimmy Kimmel, "If everyone in America gives as much as they spent on the iFart App, Haiti will be saved."

When we asked Joel how much his app made to date, he told us there were more than 600,000 downloads, netting him and his company InfoMedia somewhere in the ballpark of $400K.

Wacky Wall Walker

Ridiculously Rich Person Behind It: Ken Hakuta

Estimated Profit:$80MM

Ken Hakuta should give his mom an extra big hug and kiss for giving him his million-dollar idea. She sent him the nation's first known Wacky Wall Walker as a gift from China. Fascinated by the gewy toy that appears to walk down the walls it's thrown against, Hakuta bought the rights for $100,000 and began marketing it in the D.C. area.

Sales crawled along until a reporter for The Washington Post stumbled upon his product and wrote about it. The buzz from the article began one of the greatest marketing fads of all time. Within just a few months, more than 240 million were sold, netting Ken about $80 million.

Icanhascheezburger.com

Ridiculously Wealthy People Behind It: Eric Nakagawa (aka Cheezburger) and Kari Unebasami (aka Tofu burger)

Estimated Profit: $2MM

The concept of creating ridiculous captions for absurd animal photos began with a photo of one very fat cat and ended with Eric and Kari becoming millionaires. Their original goal? To share the chubby tubby image pictured here (which jolted the pair into an alleged 73 minute laughing fit) with as many people who cared to see. The domain name came from the caption they wrote for the feline, "I can has cheezburger?" A series of follow up photos about the fat cat obtaining a cheezburger followed, and soon fans began submitting their own creations.

The site now receives more than 35MM hits per month and 8,000 daily submissions. In 2007, Tofu burger and Cheezburger sold the site for $2MM to now CEO, Ben Huh. Ben has created six sister sites, landed a book deal that was a New York Times Best Seller, and the company makes an estimated half a million from book sales alone.

Slinky

Ridiculously Rich Person Behind It: Richard James

Estimated Profit: $250MM

Naval engineer Richard James' flash of brilliance was spawned by clumsiness. He dropped a tension spring he was working with and watched it slink away across the floor. And thus the Slinky was born.

In 1945, James debuted the toy at a Gimbals in Philadelphia. He was so nervous about the presentation that he convinced a friend to come and stage the first Slinky sale. His nerves were completely unwarranted because the first 400 sold out within 90 minutes. A quarter of a billion in sales later, the $1 toy and its creator lived very comfortably ever after. Well, sort of.

There were some rough patches in there-- like when Richard had a mid-life crisis, left his wife, Betty, and joined a cult. But Betty chugged along with the company, saved it from debts ensued by her crazy husband, and sold the product to Poof Toys in 1998. But, it's safe to say she made out alright.

Snuggie

Ridiculously Rich Person Behind It: Scott Boilen, President of Allstar Products

Estimated Profit: $200MM

It's as simple as putting on a bathrobe backwards and an idea so ridiculous it isn't patentable. But the Snuggie, which sold 20 million items in its first year, is no laughing matter. How did the silly two for $19.95 blanket with sleeves shove aside its Slanket and Freedom Blanket predecessors? Some think the "cult of Snuggie" came to be through an abundance of advertising. $10 million worth of infomercials in a down economy will do the trick.

But humor is the selling strategy that made the Snuggie a star. Bottom line: if a product is ridiculous, it should be sold in the funniest way possible. The ads, which featured a Snuggie-clad family roasting marshmallows together and cheering at sports games, quickly became media sensations. Jay Leno, Whoopie Goldberg and Ellen DeGeneres all featured the product on their shows. The buzz has led to Snuggie pub crawls, YouTube Snuggie mockery clips and a lot of gag gifts. I received a text from a friend just before Christmas, "Tell me what you want, otherwise you're getting a leopard print Snuggie."

And of course there's its cutesy name that makes it sound more like a stuffed animal than quasi-apparel. Whatever the magic marketing recipe is, creator Scott Boilen is rolling in a few hundred million. By our math, it's about $200MM to be exact (20,000,000 Snuggies sold x $19.95/2 items = a truckload).

Million-Dollar Home Page

Ridiculously Rich Person Behind The Idea: Alex Tew

Estimated Profit: $1MM

This story has been beat to a pulp, but it's so ridiculous it's worth noting. A 21-year-old British kid created a home pageand sold 1MM pixels each for $1. Furthermore, he had a sob story to warm the public's heart: trying to pay his way through college.

Advertisers ate up the charity case boy who shamelessly proclaims on his site: "I am a pixel hustler and proud!" The site sold-out its pixels in a little over one year.

Beanie Babies

Ridiculously Rich Person Behind It: H Ty Warner

Estimated Profit: $3-6 Billion

Fill a sack with beans, give it furry ears, and name it something cute like Patti the Platypus or Splash the Whale. The result? A toy empire bigger than Hasbro and Mattel combined—Beanie Babies. While many initially scoffed at Ty's under-stuffed animals and referred to them as 'roadkill,' the haters were quickly hushed when 30,000 were sold at the first toy show in Atlanta.

The way Ty Warner built his empire is remarkable. He never advertised his products or sold them in major chain stores, like Toys-R-Us. This made the toys harder to obtain and thus more desirable. In addition, Ty would retire certain models after the initial stock-run had sold out, making the few that existed prized possessions.

At the peak of the Beanie Baby craze, Ty reportedly raked in $700 million in one year. Call it a scam, but Ty's line of collectibles created the most insane fad frenzy of all time, and he now sits on billions.

The habbits of a millionaire

Ever been given the pep talk that your habbits today define who you'll become tomorrow? How about those of us who crave that entrepreneurial status and the millionaire title, the busy bank account and the fast lifestyle? 

First of all who you become is a product of the habbits you consistently maintain what empowers you to embrace full self development, self growth and master a millenial mind.
What are the habbits that define a millionaire.

 Millionaires model other successful entrepreneurs. Their aim is to grow and develop themselves to the best of their potential . Whether its developing themselves through books, audio, film, engaging with an active community. Diverse education is the name of the game. Knowledge is empowerment, and wisdom acted upon is wealth. 

Millionaires create multiple streams of income, they always have a backup plan and a strategy. If one plan fails, there is another route to success, how do they do this? By exploring their options and building passive income.This way they are prepared for any economic unpredictability, the disadvantages of depending solely on a job to bring in capital, many of them have a stream of passive income, from loans, dividends from investments, capital gains, royalties, or rental income. Other types of multiple sources of income they have access too include starting a side business that doesn’t involve active work, such as running a website or selling information products.

They have a strict discipline and live on a budget. Although there are those who lets just face it 'are running out of pocket' that denounce saving. Many entrepreneurs manage their funds and capital with diligence, and a keen eye.

They set measurable attainable goals that they can stick too, this builds up their self esteem, and leaves room for more challenges to be completed.

They use their passive income not their necessary funds to splash out on their wants. 

They usually work for themselves.

They are patient leaders, they believe in playing the long game.

Dont' just talk about it, do it. come on Let's go!

Crowdfunding

Crowdfunding is a great way to utilise your interactive network, get your business story out there and get your audience active and engaged. Turn your community into active supporters but even more importantly turn them into investors.

Their donation means

Angel investors are individuals  with a huge amount of capital and are willing to invest it on  business ideas.

Angel investors sometimes come together in groups to scrutinize business proposals, in order to select the perfect candidate to invest in.

Seek Venture Capital for your Startup

Venture capitals have fundswhich are managed by professionals that have a keen eye for seeking out companies with great prospects.

They offer mentorship and expertise which help develop and sustain a business.

 Business Incubators and Accelerators

Businesses that are just starting out can access funds provided by business incubators and accelerators.

The programs offered by them can be found in major cities across the globes.

 Raise Money through Bank Loan

Go to the Bank and raise funds through a bank loan. 

Funding

This involves providing a business plan and detailed information of the value, alongside the project report on which the loan was sanctioned.

 Acquire Loans from Microfinance Providers or NBFCs

Microfinance was set up to give access to capital to small-scale entrepreneurs that lack access to conventional banking capital or loans. Individuals with poor credit ratings see microfinance institutions as a respite whenever they are out of favor by conventional banks.

Non-Banking Financial Corporations (NBFCs) give out loans to individuals who seek loans, without necessarily imposing any legality like conventional banks and credit repair services do.

 Government Programs that Offer Startup Capital

Government programs that offer startup capital are an excellent way to source funding for your business. You are required to submit a plan that can be accepted by the grant committee. Once your plan has been scrutinized and approved, you will be provided with the funds to start up your business.

 Other Ways you can Raise Money for your Startup

Product Pre-Sale: An amazing way of raising funds for your business is through product pre-sale before launching your products officially. This builds consumer confidence in your brand and allows you to size up the demand for your product before its official launch.

Companies like Apple and Samsung adopt this procedure, allowing consumers to make pre-purchases before the official release of their products.

Selling Assets: Doing away with assets in your possession that have high financial value, can effectively serve as an immediate source of funding for your startup

Credit Cards: Business credit cards are an instant source of funding. New businesses that incur heavy expenditure can utilize credit cards as long as they fulfill the minimum payment requirement.
