To build a $1M+ portfolio, focus on the long term, leveraging the stock market's compounding power and ignoring short-term noise. Prioritize companies with growing revenue and robust balance sheets (lots of cash, low debt). Crucially, ensure your income exceeds expenses to always be ready to buy, especially during market crashes and corrections, which are prime opportunities. Avoid risky strategies like using margin, going all-in on a few stocks, or heavy options, as these often lead to portfolio blow-ups. Instead, build a diversified portfolio focusing on Growth, Value, and Dividend (GVD) stocks. Do not try to time the market; rather, implement consistent weekly buys to reduce stress and stay on offense. Finally, run projections on your companies to understand their future trajectory over the next 3-7 years.
