To continue with my thoughts on your post...My lambo is mastery over myself, I want to be able to do things I think are impossible now. I want to be able to be free and get material wealth but more than the wealth itself I want the satisfaction and self-respect from taking the hard and less traveled road. I also want to have a unique life that isn't filled with typical regrets like following others, I want to the author of my own story.
I don't try to follow others, but I do learn from them. I don't wanna waste my time and talents by reinventing the wheel.
I'm starting a new business and it involves machines and a long learning curve. I have hired a couple of people to help us with learning to set up and use those machines and the software to operate them. This coming Wednesday I am paying one lady double her usual rate to come to my office and help us set up the new embroidery machine -- rather than meeting us at the store where I bought the machine. Finding someone to help us learn all of this will cut down on the time and frustration for all of this stuff. The business is just another side gig, but it's fun. I'm hoping it will be profitable.
My second thought is that I most successful people find others to march with them. Being a lone wolf sounds very sexy, but it is generally unproductive. I can't do everything myself. I think of the story about Henry Ford. They tried to prove he was uneducated and basically stupid. He pointed to buttons on his desk and replied that when he needed something or a piece of information, he pushed a button and the person with his answer appeared. You will never know everything. You will never always be right. And, like all humans, you only have 24 hours in a day. You will find out that you MUST rely on and cooperate with other humans.
