From another thread.
I think this is what a lot of newbes in business do not realize, but need to. I was trying to put together deals when I was 5. Got my first investor at 8. he invested a buck in a candy deal. Was trying to figure out how to buy a shopping center at 10.
Most of my friends, we talked about business and business ideas and how one day we would have Ferrari's and lambos.
I think to be a great one, to make it, you got eat, sleep, think business. You cannot fake it.
You cannot read a book, post on a forum, and say oh now I need to quit college, quit my job, and I know exactly how to make a Billion bucks.
You don't! Simple as that. Can it be taught, sure. But most people don't get it.
I spent years and years going through ideas in my head.
Most think, I would like to open a vodka business and blow their life savings trying it.They lose it all cause fundamentally, they do not understand the angles.
How old were you?
The highly successful people I know say that they always expected to be rich from a young age, and did something about this. They never doubted for 1 second thhat the final outcome would be financial freedom.
