If You Choose to Adopt These Five Mindsets, You’ll Probably Be Making Millions in a Few Years
Stop consuming social media, start creating it.
If you’re willing to look stupid for long enough, you’ll eventually become a millionaire.
I’ve recently read a ton of autobiographies of really famous people — celebrities like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tina Fey, Steve Martin, Ray Allen, Michelle Obama, Kevin Hart, Bryan Cranston, etc.
Most of them are millionaires; many are decamillionaires (net worth >$10 million).
And all of them had to look stupid for a long time before they finally got it right.
But they eventually got it right. And the only way you’ll start getting things right is by trying, failing, experimenting, failing, and learning.
After reading the seven most popular finance books of all time, I started to recognize some patterns of the rich — they had specific mindsets that most people didn’t.
The problem is, most people are afraid to adopt these mindsets — to risk looking stupid, to separate from the crowd, to live life on their terms. It’s painful, embarrassing, and people might laugh at you. It’s not a nice feeling.
