Becoming a millionaire by just being an employee (Part 1 of 3)

Being employed in a company does not mean your dream of becoming a millionaire someday won't happen even in your wildest dreams. I beg to disagree. This is not like asking for the moon and the stars. If Michael Jackson was able to transform himself from a black man to a white disfigured woman, then you know it's not far fetched. Don't try to be sarcastic by saying "Sure, you may! If you're the CEO" or, perhaps, "Yeah, If you hit the lottery". True, any of these could easily answer your question but don't you think they could also be tough mountains to climb? To be a CEO it would take more than just hardwork to get you there. You'll need imagination, seasoning, timing, skills, wisdom, luck and a lot more. Hitting the lottery, on the other hand, is even more tougher than the topic suggests. I'll give you 200 hundred years more to live and you'll probably still won't hit it. You see, there are no short cuts in the this world, but there is a sure way to do it. Short cut? yes, if you're extremely lucky. I'm not here to discourage you on anything, but these are valid avenues of you becoming a millionaire. You may take this route or that route and it's your choice. What I'll be talking about is the long route. I mean, an ordinary employee becoming a millionaire and nothing else. For people without patience, this is not for you because this will take a lot of time to achieve. Still, getting your first million is way way better than ending your career exactly having the same amount of money you had when you first started earning your first paycheck.
