@GeoMOG then how about you enlighten us on how to get rich exactly? you said you got very wealthy so how did you do it?
I spent years with hobbies that got me skills that I used over the course of less than a few hours to make a good impression on the right person, I had other hard skills they needed like high-level english, graphic design, and running a business. I also am unstoppable in any endeavor I undertake and quickly showed I could be a top tier industry-wide designer in a field I had never before worked in simply by obsessively thinking about doing it literally nonstop daily for months....
Literally, find an almost rich person and solve a rich person problem, you would be fucking surprised how many people out there are making 100k/month revenue with almost no net profits and have a business you can enter and turn highly profitable simply by pointing out a few things now and then and if you have the ability to not fuckup even better....
Even below that imagine a person who genuinely is street smart, high effort, competent, always on time, never lies loyal and dependable, who wants to work for both skills and long-term savings, with next to no friends, and tight family ties...
There are rich people right now who can hire that person for 35k starting, have them at 50k within 6-12 months and long term 3-12 years can promote that person basically to any level of management or high trust needed position limited only by their ability to learn the necessary skills relevant.... CFO, COO these are C suite level positions that don't really require genuises and use skills that can be taught or even 1-2 levels below top tier C-suite executives.
Never underestimate how much these simple things + loyalty and respect are worth along with being good at your job and just trying. I would say for anyone who does this and takes advantage of opportunities put in front of them virtually any normie could get to 100k in 5-10 years of acquiring skills, say age 30-35 and by actually wanting it badly enough.
Some people say you have to hussle/grind work hard as fuck to get success.
Some people say it's all about who you know and who you are.
I say don't fucking tire yourself out working hard with no prospects for someone who will never appreciate your level of dedication, and also don't network and throw away opportunities if you don't have a fucking snowball chance in hell to deliver value wise on your charisma.
Gain as much skills, knowledge, and determination the easy way thru hobbies, or shit you enjoy or work you are forced to do to live, then when the right person comes along, not the person who can help you but the person you can help the most, then fucking tryhard, fucking go hard, show them not only can you make them rich but that you are irreplaceable.
Shit is very simple, if you're not a fucking pussy pushover, if you understand the nature of people as somewhat selfish and you solidify your position value-wise, being that rare person, continually offering and increasing value, and not fucking up, if you genuinely find a way to make someone millions of dollars, you will either be compensated generously or you will have the opportunity if you grow balls to demand you be compensated generously and get it.
At this point in my business I don't want to ever say things cannot go bad or regress but we are yet again of years of hard work set to fucking slingshot hard and just trying to find the catalyst to the big payoff we have been working on and I started with my position variable, and modest, I now have a piece of the pie, a seat at the table and although I love the people I work with like family I did have to fight for my slice and I got what I negotiated not what I deserved.
The obvious follow up is how do I find this right person?
For me I worked outside my normal social group for years professionally with a certain demographic of people, after working with them for years I became comfortable around them and learned to talk in certain ways and do certain things that aligned with their societal norms and cultures.
But I didn't network to find my ultimate profession, at least not thru third parties, I spent a shit ton of time negotiating with business people of the same demographic, I mean literally thousands, I also have had thousands of business phone calls. I simply contacted someone for a purchase I made and simply offered them some small advice, they in turn asked me questions and we went back and forth, for me I was applying my knowledge to their business which I didn't realize was in a unique position of needing said advice, to the person I talked to it was like a breathe of fresh air after being in a vice for months, imagine dealing with dollar amounts monthly that can bankrupt you and barely making money and just not knowing what can skyrocket you to success and what can topple it all. Then someone comes along and calmy just gives you good move after good move, not mindbreaking shit just solid advice over and over to problems that keep you up all fucking night that you stress over. I just took the problems of the person I was talking to and slowly made them my problems and helped them solve it and didn't falter as the problems got harder and harder....
Hope this helps you find success.
