It is easier for success to come out of success than for success to come out of poverty.
That was one thing I learnt when I read this book, Outliers. If you have not read it, I encourage you to do so.
If you are not careful you will beat yourself during your stretching years because you are comparing yourself with someone who has blossomed or who is a product of a tree that has blossomed.
That is why if you are not from a rich home, you must strive to become rich so that the journey will be easier for your kids.
Always try to find out what the mainstream media is not saying. The mainstream media says, 55% of the world's billionaires are self-made. What it does not say is what self-made means.
If you think self-made means they were wretched when they started, then you have been deceived.
See what Mark Zuckerberg said in 2017.
"We all know we don't succeed just by having a good idea or working hard. We succeed by being lucky, too. If I had to support my family growing up instead of having time to code if I didn't know I'd be fine if Facebook didn't work out, I wouldn't be standing here today. If we're honest, we all know how much luck we've had." Source: CNBC.com
That is Mark Z talking. "If I didn't know I'd be fine if Facebook didn't work out, I wouldn't be standing here today."
What he referred to as luck was the fact that everything was already in place for him with or without Facebook. He came from a place of affluence.
Go and read deep about most of these guys, their parents were well to do. They were not thinking about what to eat when they were starting.
Fight for your children.Do what you have to do so that your children will not be in this mess. So that they will start from level 7 instead of level zero.
If you don't have N500K to pay that influencer to help you promote your product, start your community and start growing your influence.
It may take you another 5 years, but don't worry. Success does not have a latecomer.
Find people in your circle that you can work with together to succeed together. Create fail-proof systems.
If 20 of you come together and you all take one person's product and all 20 of you promote it massively, your chances at success increase much higher than if you are all doing your own thing separately.
It would be hard for anyone to go against you.
In case you have not gotten anything from all I have said so far, then let this be your takeaway. If you fail, you make it harder for your children to succeed. But if you succeed, you make it easier for your children to succeed.
It is easier for success to come out of success than for success to come out of poverty.
This is a very sensible message for everyone is striving for a financially stable life . Don't measure other people's achievement with your present achievement . Work harder so you can atleast make conditions favorable for your offsprings to grow .
