This is an interesting question; very few people in here would be able to make a $1M in a year. However, for me personally, I would probably use the money I have now to buy whatever nice flashy thing I have to seem rich, and go around interviewing any millionaire I can find for the first 6 months. I may have to exaggerate a few things to avoid appearing too impoverished and secure at least a handful. I would get their contacts and tell them I connect rich people. The next 2 months will probably be spent creating and marketing an agency that links rich people together while still interviewing millionaires. The remaining months would be spent going hard on the interviews and selling the service of linking people to millionaires. I know this is easier said than done, and there is a high chance I fail, but this is my answer to the question. I got this idea from a YouTube channel I used to watch.

If anyone really had a workable, get rich quick plan, why would they waste their time reading or sharing with HN?

Maybe if the real plan was to sell access to "the plan"?

You can get there in about 12 hours.

Just fly wherever your current wealth amount figure equates to $1M in local purchasing power vs. where you live right now.

That way you'd also fulfill the next step in the hedonistic tradmill after you make $1M:

"It's not sufficient that I win, everyone else must lose"

2 birds with one stone.

Anybody who answers and hasn't like, tried and succeded at least 8 times starting from 0, is not adding to any discussion. So good luck in finding relevant answers.

First think about what it is you actually want to do with that money.

Then do that thing instead of trying to make a million.

Want to have a sailing yacht? You can go as crew and sail on yachts as much as your heart desires and pretty much anywhere you want. I mean actually piloting the yacht at the steering wheel. You'll had enough of sailing in much shorter time than it takes to make a million.

Want to be a millionaire so that you can sleep with the most beautiful girls? You can do that by going to whores for much less than a million, if you're only focusing on the money route.

Want to be a millionaire so you can live on the beach? You can live on the beach for much less, as evident by millions of poor people living on the beach.

And you can usually have the highest quality of anything it is you desire in the world, for a fair price.

Want to be a millionaire to have a Ferrari? If you want to go fast you can have a sports motorcycle for a fraction of that cost, and much more fun to ride.

Whatever it is that your million bucks can bring you, you can have it easier if you clear your mind and ask yourself what it is you really want.
