The Making Of Millionaire Milestones: Simple Steps To Seven Figures

The Making Of Millionaire Milestones: Simple Steps To Seven Figures

Author: Sam Dogen: Financial Samurai founder, personal finance blogger May 6, 2025 Duration: 31:53

After three years of writing, revising, and reflecting, I'm excited to share that Millionaire Milestones: Simple Steps To Seven Figures is now available everywhere—in hardcover, eBook, and audiobook!

In this special episode, my wife and I sit down to talk about the journey behind the book: why I wrote it, what readers can expect, and how it ties into over a decade of sharing free financial content on Financial Samurai.

We also dive into the emotional side of writing—especially how the process impacted our family, what it means to lead by example for our kids, and what we hope this book will do for readers striving to build lasting wealth.

Whether you're just getting started on your financial journey or looking for that extra push to reach the next level, this episode gives you an honest, behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to turn knowledge into action—and how to stay motivated along the way.

Pick up a hard copy or two of Millionaire Milestones on:

Your reviews and shares are appreciate! There's nothing better than giving the gift of financial freedom. 

Fight on!
