What is this obsession with merely becoming rich by any means necessary? Instead of wanting a mansion and a Lambo and millions in the bank, why not be content with owning a reasonable sized house and a half decent car that works and a bit of extra disposable cash to do what you want with? There's nothing wrong with having aspirations but I think this hustle culture and getting rich quick mentality a lot of people have are setting themselves up for a life of misery and depression, especially if your aim is to become a millionaire with a mansion and flashy car as 99% of people aren't ever going to achieve this.


Did it work? Are you rich? People seem to think there's some magic formula to becoming rich and if you just read a few books from entrepreneurs or follow some tips from an online influencer you'll hit the jackpot, but what people don't realize is these people are just selling you some generic bullshit and that's how they often make their money. Every time I go on Instagram my homepage is filled with nonsense from these so-called get rich quick influencers mostly posting about things they know little about in the hope that one day they'll have a big enough audience to actually make some money from. A classic one is Tai Lopez who seemingly faked it till he made it by buying lots of youtube ads showing off his rented Lamborghini and how you too can achieve that if you just give him your money. Now ironically he does have the money for many Lamborghinis because people bought into his courses and all the other rubbish he's selling. Nobody has ever been able to find any info on his background other than a few failed businesses but it looks like all it took was the charade of wealth and enough money to rent a Lambo and buy youtube ads. The simple reality is that to get anywhere in business you need to work very hard and create as many opportunities as you can, but you also need a bit of luck. How many people start a business or have a great idea but they just never get off the ground or go under because of one reason or the other? Most business fail, but a good entrepreneur will pick himself up off the floor and try again, but sometimes you can be doing this your whole life with no results and can end up with nothing but without taking risks you won't ever get anywhere but I don't think most successfully people got there because they followed the advice of some other guru and they just worked it out themselves and I think that's what people should be doing because that's how you come up with something unique or worthwile.
