Making first million is challenging, making the second is more challenging and sustaining it is the most challenging because majority of what people do to save their early millions work briefly. When such fail, it takes the guidance of the the divine, self discipline and creativity to keep the tempo.

Hardly can you save millions from salary jobs. You MUST combine something with dem or even struggle to avoid salary jobs, if possible kiss

You can’t remain a millionaire by saving your millions

Hello fellow nairalanders and business men, I was at the verge of making my first million naira early this year but I got carried away by the euphoria and made some bad investments which later backfired and left me bankrupt... However, I'm recuperating now, and I just wanted to know at what age you guys made your first million naira and how you did it or the investments you made.

This is just to serve as a motivation to our young and upcoming brothers and sisters still in the labor market struggling to make ends meet.

Thanks

at the age of 28.was working and doing my own business as well then.little by little it grew to that amount and passed .God is faithful.its tempting nd i took wrong decisions like u did by resigning to pursue d business not knowing my work gave me d platform for my business.was tinking my work was restricting me.somehw God caught me from dropping flat cos of depts people were killing me with.bfor i decided to migrate fully.since then God have taken absolute control

These are the kind of topic we love to see on fp, not those useless celebrity news. I really miss the old Nairaland.

Anyways I made my first 1m at age 26 after finishing school... As a young civil engineer and with the right connections 1m is like a drop in d bucket. I got my first car that same year for 1.2m

true

threads like these should be more prominent

26, through fashion design.

I was so happy. Jonathan's Regime, was so good. I made so much money and people had to spend as well. It was a great Regime for me.
Thought you said you're not a fashion designer?

I made my first million in 2009 as PTDF scholar in UK. I was being paid £500 every month by PTDF plus the initial £2000 given to me before departure. Not millions in pounds but when I converted as I was transferring my earnings to my Nigeria bank account

I practically didn't touch the money as I was also working as a cleaner in a hospital, earning £6 per hour. I worked 4 hours a day and unlimited hours during summer. So, I had sufficient money to cater for my needs.

I also did a care giver job at old people's home, cleaning their poo and bathing them at a rate of £8.5 per hour and was fed with all sorts of foods , cakes ice-cream, fruits and juices. I saved quite a lot before returning back to my beloved Naija

I was 28 and working in the bank. I was able to save up to 1 million in my first year of banking just from salary and upfront. This was before the crash of the banking sector..

Made my first million at 25,doing dropshipping of mobile phones from aliexpress,my biggest hurdle at first was how I could make payments and how i could get lots of clients.
This is so wonderful. tbh am looking at starting something like this but i will be needing someone to mentor me coupled with the fact that i don't have capital yet. Am a student though.

At 24, few months after my graduation.

I got to know about blockchain technology in my final year. I read about it and joined various crypto groups before I graduated. I delved fully into crypto currency trading on exchanges plus buy and selling of cryptos. I raised more than 10m naira within my first year.

I lost interest in trading on exchanges last year when I took a blockchain course on coursera. It opened my eye to the fact that the real money is in blockchain development. I have since dedicated my time to learning and development of blockchain technologies.

Currently working on various crypto projects one of which is multisend. Multisend is an ethereum Dapp that allow users to send ethereum and ethereum tokens to many addresses in a single ethereum transaction. The testnet version can be accessed at https://multisend.now.sh and the tutorial can be found at https://www.useloom.com/share/5c7524c256414e01baef2a9bff2a6adc
