Welcome to the Growth Stacking Podcast. This is Dan Martell. I went from a broke 17-year-old with

$15 in my pocket to a 27-year-old millionaire with over a million cash in my bank account. But if I had to

do it over again starting today and go from zero to a million dollars

by the end of this year, this is exactly how I would do it. So to get to seven figures, first I have to

six figures. Step one, I would build one of the five six figure skills that have the most demand

this year and they only take a few hours a day to learn. I built my first six figure skill when I was

17 years old

in rehab. That's where I found a book on Java programming and I got obsessed with programming

software. I built the skill knowing it was going to be valuable. This is 1997. I get out of rehab

and discover this small thing called the internet and it turns out to be a very big deal.

And this is actually one of the six-figure skills

that are most in demand this year.

So number one is software engineering,

learning how to build products, code systems.

Two is video editing, taking content like this

and making it engaging for people to want to start watching it and continue

watching it. Three is copywriting, learning the skill of persuasion, communication, getting people to

purchase without anybody having a conversation with them. Number four is graphic design. How do you

take images and make them beautiful? How do we create more content, social media, build

audiences? And number five is data analysts. There's people that take the information and massage it

in a certain way and structure it so that the AI algorithms know how to talk to the data to make

sense of it all. Which brings us to number two, which is follow one course until successful.
