Getting inspired is one thing, to actually do things and make things work for you is another. It is easy to read all the inspiring books and stories about rags-to-riches persons, but to actually do the job and make yourself rich is hard. You should have the perseverance and determination deep within you so you can endure all the trials in becoming rich.
Getting inspired is OK. But rather than copying what others did, we must develop our own ideas to make money. Personally, I don't bother reading all these inspiring stories. They will keep your mood high for a few hours, but other than that, what is the use? I would rather use that time to learn something more useful for me.
There is nothing bad in copying what they did. It has an advantage. You know that it will work because they have done it before. But do not copy directly. Mix something that is yours. Amd reading inspiring stories is not a total waste of time. It gives you inspiration and a boost to keep on doing what your doing. But the inspiration should not end in a few days. It should be a guiding force to keep on working to be rich until you reach your goal.
