Do This. You'll Get Rich Guaranteed.
The way to guarantee wealth is simply by taking risk over and over
Work hard, take constant risk, eventually 1 will click. The end
THUS you can simplify getting rich to 2 things
A) Optimizing life to take risk
B) Optimizing work
Heres how
A) Optimize life to take risk
Essentially. Optimize your life so that risk has no consequences.
When I got out of the military I lived with 2 guys in a college town. My rent was $250 a month for my room.
I had $6k that I saved up over 4 years and bar backed part time.
Your biggest risk when you start anything is TIME. Not money.
You dont need money to start a business. You need TIME to aquire skills. The BEST beginner businesses then SELL your time applying these skills.
I for example learned SEO. Then I did SEO for local businesses. This cost me nothing.
Most can't start anything because they spend all their time at a 9-5 job. They can't risk their time because their life style is to costly.
Because my lifestyle was dirt cheap, I could risk MOST of my time trying to build a business.
6 months later I had one that worked.
I could then quit my part time job and double my time investment.
B) Optimize for work
In short remove EVERYTHING that distracts from you getting rich.
Move to Wyoming, away from all friends, temptations to party. Get rid of all your video games and drop all your vices that slow you down or distract you.
Get a part time job, drive an uber, IDC. Your life should be cheap enough that minimum wage $15 can cover it.
You will have NOTHING to do except become wealthy n invest your time to the maximum.
The End.
If you take A) and B) and then repeat them for 6-12 months EVENTUALLY you will acquire enough skill to make 1 of your attempts work.
Then you can quit your part time job and go fully in, thus doubling your time investment.
When you fully put in your time without fear of financial consequences, eventually this compounds into serious levels of skill that produce more and more money.
Do this for 2-5 years. You will be rich.
Most never achieve wealth because
-They can't afford to take risk
-They can't afford to invest time
Because they do not build a lifestyle that allows them to and get locked into debt/high rent/etc.
If your young your main priority is getting your foundation. Have kids, high rent, get married, be a normal being when your 30 .
