It's not as bad as people think.

Anything you do in life has a failure rate like that. Meaning, you have to be better than 99.9% of people in a specific field to really make good money. That's not that hard to do though. You just commit to something, that seperates you from 70% of the people already, so you're only competing with 300. Have the right attitude, that eliminates a further 250. Then it's between the other 50 people left.

The statistic of 1 in 1,000 is totally reasonable. Most people won't go for it with those kinds of odds, but they WILL play a lottery every week with 1 in 14,000,000 odds
