The first million is only hard because you don't know the formula. Once you get that down it's not hard.. I'll put it like this just look at what everyone else is doing and don't do that.. There's a reason why only like 8 or 9% of the people in the world are rich and the rest are middle class or poor..



Stock markets had one of the biggest bull runs the last decade

At the end of the day, you gotta work hard but be in the right place at the right time

We hear more about the winners than the losers, so it gives a distorted view

Its basic reality that if you are struggling to make ends meet, you cant take risks that could exponentially grow your wealth

But there are definitely some basic good principles - save more than you spend, and also house ownership doesn’t seem to be making the most sense these days

Intelligince + Upbringing + Starting Wealth / Support Network + Motivation / Hard Work + Luck

That’s whats involved. We can all find examples where one of those elements is much bigger than the others - eg for billionaires, wealth gives a great leg up; for others like bill gates and zuckerberg, its more of a balance across the categories. For NBA players who came out of poverty, it is EXTREME work ethic and also luck in terms of genetics

But without having basic wealth, its a very hard road, thats for sure.

None of this matter. You have to know how to add value to people’s lives to be rich, that’s all it takes. You don’t need much money.

I already posted a video of a guy that made less than $12 a hr made 500k investing before this bull run.. If he let it ride he has over a million now. The basic wealth excuse is bullshyt.. You can start with 0 dollars and make a million with a plan.

How can i achieve success like that? I am 34 and work a minimum wage job at a restaurant.
1st thing is never compare yourself to another person’s success. Easiest way is to go sell someone something that they value enough to give you money. Kylie sells cosmetics so you can find your thing

Come breh don't say that.. So how many millions do you have if its so easy? I always hear the first million is the hardest to make

Anybody can make money. I work in banking/finance and I’m around high net worth clients all day. There’s Mexican immigrants who can’t speak a lick of English with $2 million in assets. Cash. I’ve seen it 100 times no bullshyt. You not gonna get it complaining though :yeshrug: Am I millionaire? No. I don’t know if I’ll ever make it but I’m definitely on path to be worth multiple six figures and I’m living very comfortable right now :yeshrug: Make more money. Don’t spend it all. Live long. Invest it in something. Have multiple income streams. And try to work for yourself over working for others but if you can’t at least get a high paying career. That’s it. Not rocket science :yeshrug:Y’all be complaining about cacs getting a head start but there’s nothing stopping you from having $500,000 to $1 million in 20 years so you can give your kids that head start. You can literally get that investing in the stock market over a few decades. Again. I’ve seen people who can’t speak a lick of English and aren’t that educated having millions in their account so there’s a disconnect somewhere. I don’t know what them muthafukkas are doing but they’re doing something right.

Edit: Y’all won’t believe me but I spoke to the wife of a prominent executive once. And we all know him. Her account balance made me question my whole existence :sadcam:

Most people have false beliefs when it comes to making money. It’s like their parents told them to be scared of making some money in life. Just remember somebody has the money in their pocket that you want.
