The desire to see quick results of our efforts can be very tempting and some folks in a bid to get results would normally prefer shortcuts to get wealth over following the real process that involves investing time, effort, and resources into developing skills, building relationships, and creating value in themselves that will lead to a sustainable long term success.
And that’s why following the due procedure is good. Because even when you fall, you would have built relationships that could come to your aid or even learnt things so you know how to fall safely. Making money through fast means doesn’t feel fun as well. There’s fun in competition, there are a bunch of life lessons to learn. If Elon was to start a new company, he will make it fly really fast because he has experience. But if he made his money so easily without having to learn, he would fail because he is just filled with money and no knowledge.
