Its really not breh. Unless your born rich the odds of you becoming a million are like one is 1 in a 100 million. Mostly because the opportunities people think are granted in other countries are simply over exaggerated and not really available. The whole purpose of the American dream is trick people into believing they can be millionaires. But in all honesty, they short people of good education, good resources to escape poverty, and the know how to actual be entrepreneurial. Americans have more freedom, but its a delusional freedom. The ultimate goal it keep the rich richer and make more and more poorer and poorer under the guise of free market, which is just code talk for greed and assholish behavior.
He is not talking about becoming a millionaire though breh, just not being poor. Quality of education is a legit problem, but it's not a complete deal breaker. The fact that people make it out of poverty = it's possible, and a big part of getting out of poverty = making the choice to get out of poverty. It doesn't require being entrepreneurial or anything.... just making the most of the hand you're dealt. If someone is going to wait for the people they blame for their poverty to pull them out of it they deserve to be poor IMO.

i agree that you shouldn't be afraid to take chances, you need ambition and that you should have financial independence, but he's really oversimplifying this and comes off as an a$$hole just tooting his own horn.

there's a lot of resources out there for ppl to not develop a skill and make money. it's just a matter of what drives you and how bad you want it.

He's an aggressive motivator. I don't think he meant anything I'll towards anyone personally. He's just a very blunt person.

But I applaud anyone who goes against the norm and does what they truly want.

My people raised me to be very "salt of the earth" type person. They ain't raise me to be some cutthroat business man. Growing up it was never about making 200k a year. My roots is country, it's about being a good dude, not lying to people, honoring your word. Treating your neighbor how you would want to be treated. Have I suffered for that. Hell yeah. I've gotten taken advantage of. Going from private schools to public schools etc...nikkas ragging on me for not knowing the correct way to say certain slang. not knowing shyt about fashion till i was in HS. treating women hell people better than they should be treated. but i learned. No matter who you are you gonna struggle in some shape or fashion. Do i wish i learned it earlier of course. but i learned it eventually. and life is all about the journey.
This why you'll never be rich. You're soft, you have morals, and that shyt doesn't cut it in the business world.

I'm always weary of these "millionaire gurus" who give advice. I read alot of books/articles and there's nothing I can't stand more than finding out one of those cats acting like they came from the mud were really silver spoon faggits. I damn near threw Tim Ferris' book in the garbage after I saw he grew up in the Hamptons. GTFOH. I was wondering how he was doing all these things at a young age, traveling here and there, doing this and that, fukk outta here rich boy :heh:
Same thing with Robert Kiyosaki. That dude is such a charlatan that it isn't even funny; and white folks LOVE him. His story about his "rich dad" turned out to be complet bullshyt, there's no record of him or his so called corporations owning any real estate anywhere, and he's been sued for his fukkery more than once, one of the plaintiffs being the co-author of that bullshyt ass book no less.

Then has the nerve to create a board game with a $300 price tag that teaches you about investing :mjlol:. Then folks got the nerve to hit me with the :umad: when I call him out on his bullshyt, but they're the ones that go to the seminars, buy the books, that game, and don't have shyt to show for it.
Get finessed by a snake oil salesman that preys on your frustrations and insecurities brehs and brehettes :pachaha:

You a broke ass teenager with acne

Shut the fukk up clown
You must have me mistaken for the nikka that skeeted off in your moms mouth last night. Also if I'm a broke teenager why you wasting time to post to me when I'm not even posting towards you? You on my dikk that bad fakkit?

Die you dikk gobbling faggit. Go ahead and finish sucking that dikk you motherfukker. Calling other men to back you up. Welcome to my ignore list you piece of shyt. I see that fit you're throwing because you can't explain yourself ... low iq having, high heel wearing, ass chaps having fukking faggit.
You a whole bytch so FOH. Your talk isn't convincing at all stupid. Go suck a dikk together with your moms maybe you can get some heart.
