Have an idea? It’s now your turn to eat

I remember reading about the theory of making a million shillings. It's not ad verbatim, but it is a version of 'If you want to make a million dollars (or shillings), find a million customers and sell to them with one dollar worth of markup'.

According to Google though, the fastest way to your first million is to start a church. I have deep-seated problems with the underpinning of prosperity theology so I'll leave that route to those who don't have visions of fire and brimstone when they imagine affinity fraud and the like.
