This thread is mostly directed at college kids here but also applies to others.
Time and time again we see this process on this forum:
You read a book? Great.
Are you now willing to take the necessary steps to make your life better? Are you willing to work for 5 years making $10,000 a year or less like @458? Are you willing to put up with a life that's 100x worse than "going to class" and "studying"?
If the answer is no, then you're not ready to take the leap. You're not ready to drop out of school, quit your job, move across country, or make any drastic life changing decisions.
Success doesn't come from a book. It comes from within. Ask yourself if you're making your decision based on ambition or based on you being lazy and hoping that there's an easy way out.
If you want to win, you will. If you don't, you won't.
Make sure to act out of ambition and not the hope that this is an easier path - because it's not.
Time and time again we see this process on this forum:
- Someone reads The Millionaire Fastlane or Unscripted
- Decide that they're "enlightened"
- Drop out of school so they can "leave the rat race"
- Do absolutely nothing since all along they were motivated not by ambition but laziness.
