Foolproof Plan To Stay Poor
Summary
- I won't start a new venture until everyone I know agrees it's a good idea. It's wrong to wait for consensus; often the best ideas seem crazy at first.
- I avoid tolerating mediocre people in my circle. Surrounding myself with high-performing individuals helps me perform better too.
- I learned not to follow what my broke friends do if I want to become wealthy. It's important to seek out successful role models and learn from them.
- It's a mistake to think anyone who makes more money than me is unethical. Success comes from hard work and smart decisions, not dishonesty.
- Believing that I need to start rich in order to get rich is false. Most wealth is built gradually through consistent effort, not from an inheritance or a lucky break.
- Saying "I'm not a math person" holds me back. I must overcome past educational failures and remain open to learning new skills.
- Most of us already know what to do—we just hope for an easier path. But there is no shortcut; success requires hard work and dedication.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing a mindset shift. Don't wait for everyone to agree with your business ideas. Understand that groundbreaking ideas might sound crazy at first—that's okay. Start believing in your vision and take the leap even if others don't immediately see the potential.
A good way of doing better is by surrounding yourself with high-performing individuals. If you're around motivated and successful people, you're more likely to push yourself to achieve your own goals. So, make an effort to seek out mentors and connections who inspire you instead of sticking with those who hold you back.
If you want to become wealthy, avoid taking advice from people who aren't where you want to be financially. Instead, study the habits and behaviors of those who are successful and try to apply their strategies to your life.
Don't assume that people who have more money are unethical. Success usually comes from making smart decisions and working hard, so focus on building these habits.
Remember, wealth is usually built slowly over time. Begin your journey today, regardless of your current financial situation.
Don't let the idea that you're "not a math person" hold you back. Everyone can learn new skills, so if you encounter gaps in your knowledge, tackle them head-on with an open attitude.
Finally, realize that you likely already know what steps to take. There's no easy path to success, but with hard work and dedication, you can achieve your goals.
