A failure as an entrepreneur.

That's what the thread is about.

Not success as an employee which is your Forte.

That's not something you're motivated to do so you only bring negativity to the discussion.

Dudes is literally making excuses for themselves... Defeated already.
When you put up cacs it's o they white they got this and that.

You put up black it's total silence.

It's obvious they just want to discuss why they cant and why they won't try.

Everyone should ask themselves why they dont have total mastery of thé highest level of their field to where they can get money solo to finance their dream with their career money.

Some people just don't love anything enough which means they don't have that fire inside which a truth that's difficult to articulate.

Hard to admit that you're only motivated to be complacent and comfortable

Yup. If you want it bad enough, and create a plan with realistic goals, you can reach success.

The crazy thing is that the overwhelming majority of humans regardless of race have no drive or fire to complete shyt.

I just hate seeing my Africans give up on themselves just because cacs exist.

Why would I have to "change racist whites"?..:laugh:

If I said this shyt to my grandpa, father, or uncles they would slap the shyt out of me.

White people are not God...
If your gonna follow white men and ignore the racial factor then your going to have to try to change them.

Good luck.

You don't have to like them, but taking the advice of billionaires regardless if they're white or not is never a bad idea. Take what they say and adjust it to your lifestyle being a black man. Disregarding their advice because they aren't black is stupid at best.
I feel what you're saying, but there are certain factors that make their success different than a black man trying to make it.

One) They have white privilege and can move in certain circles black people have no access to and are shut out of
Two) They have access to resources that black people do not
Three) They have connections, nepotism, and can actually make short cuts without making sacrifices.

I learned alot on my journey to my latest job...the one thing that stuck out was...being a black man in America...you are alone. Period. No one will help you.

We don't have an "invisible knapsack" of resources to take from and use to further our lives.

Alright, straight up and down I was fukking homeless for a while breh. HOMELESS. If I was white? You best believe I could of found somebody to take me in for a while so I wouldn't have to sleep in my car. You best believe I could of had somebody give me a chance to make money, and hell, maybe even offer me some work and maybe get a human interest story out of it. Which would lead to money coming my way.

But nah, rather than complain, I just used fast food restaurant internet for a while to send out job applications/resumes/update my blogs/send important e-mails, made good relationships with people that worked there so I wouldn't get kicked out for loitering, went without showers for a while, took showers at gyms using free passes I registered for online, went without eating for a while, basically making sacrifices.

3 months later? I was in a boardroom on Wall Street.

So there, as a black person, that did everything possible...from making the best out of my college education, getting internships, graduating with a 3.9GPA, and having a degree...I still managed to end up in poverty and on the streets...but then again, I managed to work my way out of that situation to something better...

WHY? CAUSE I HAD NO CHOICE!

Becoming rich and successful is not an option...it's cause YOU HAVE NO OTHER OPTION FOR SURVIVAL.

That's reality for the average black person without connections.

That why I'd rather hear the advice from black people who made it, cause we all know we have ten times more obstacles in our paths...and those who did can honestly be seen as the best of the best, cause they made it even though the odds were against them.

No offense, but these dudes in the videos in the OP had 95% of their success laid out for them.
