      Despite the stories boasting about overnight successes, the truth is that it takes years to make billions, short of a hefty inheritance. Whether it's through investing or starting a business, the sooner you get started, the sooner you'll be on your way to becoming a billionaire.When you're young, it's easy to imagine you have endless amounts of time to get to everything on your list.

"So go to it, invest in yourself."
