Hello!
Few months ago I began a journey to wealth and financial freedom. I've been doing my best in improving my weak points. From a lazy guy that is always late everywhere for over 10 years straight, to an organized early riser that is always on time. I have been following many successful people and I have been trying to copy their mindset and everyday's habits. I've noticed a huge progress and that made me think about introdoucing this lifestyle to my family and friends (totally buying MJ's book for my girlfriend).
I am trying every possible way to influence as many people as I can, but 99% of them have a mindset of a worker slave. None of them even thought of ever being wealthy. Everybody follows the "regular" path of getting a college degree and then working for the rest of their lives for a slightly better salary each year. So every time I try convincing them that fastlane might be a better alternative, it ends up with a sarcastic smile on their face.
Also, my whole life I've been told that either I'm an idiot (not literally) or that I will never achieve anything in my life, because smarter people than me tried and it didn't even work for them, so why would I be successful?
I have a question:
How often were you told that you're worth nothing (again not literally) and you will fail no matter what? Did it stop you from becoming the person you want to be?
And a bonus question for successful entrepreneurs:
What grades did you have at school? Is it really like they say - students with best grades end up having the best jobs / life?
Thank you for your time
