At just 28 years old, tech entrepreneur Alex Becker has built a $4 million SEO software company and achieved personal seven-figure wealth. In his new book “The 10 Pillars of Wealth,” the self-made millionaire distills lessons from his own experience and other successful entrepreneurs.
Becker’s journey began after leaving the Air Force in his early 20s. He founded Source Wave, an SEO software company now generating $4 million annually, which propelled him to millionaire status by age 24. He currently serves as CEO of software company Market Hero.
The Wealth-Building Principles
Becker identifies seven distinct habits that set wealthy entrepreneurs apart:
Decoupling Time From Income
“Wealthy people don’t let time limit their earning potential,” Becker notes. Instead, they create passive income streams like automated online businesses that generate revenue around the clock.
Taking Full Responsibility
Successful entrepreneurs adopt Harry Truman’s “the buck stops here” mentality. “You have to be able to blame yourself for everything,” Becker emphasizes, advising proactive problem prevention over assigning blame.
Prioritizing Action Over Perfection
“Mess up as fast as possible so you can learn from it as fast as possible,” Becker recommends, cautioning against over-planning for hypothetical scenarios.
Maintaining Financial Focus
During a company’s early stages, Becker stresses focusing exclusively on revenue-generating activities: “Don’t invest your time on anything that does not make money.”
Cultivating an Abundance Mindset
Approach deals believing clients have unlimited resources. This mindset reduces fear of failure and increases natural confidence during pitches.
Calculated Risk-Taking
The millionaires Becker studied embrace failure and move quickly on ideas, even imperfect ones. “They’re not afraid to be a little reckless,” he observes.
Anticipating Change
Successful entrepreneurs proactively identify emerging opportunities. “If something is hard or scary, they go after it 10 times harder instead of staying comfortable,” Becker says.
From Military to Millions
Becker’s unconventional path from Air Force service to tech entrepreneurship exemplifies these principles in action. His book aims to help others replicate this success through disciplined application of these wealth-building strategies.
