That's the very mindset that many job holders have. Unless, of course, they chose to work for someone else, knowing they're capable of going out on their own as well. To quote Richard Bach's
Illusions "Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours." Although, I would think that, we're all a servant to something in the end. The difference being that the further up you ascend, the fewer you have to answer to.

It all depends if you make money generation into a chore. If you enjoy what you're doing, be it money and/or value creation, could it honestly be considered 'hard', in the usual sense?

After all this IS supposed to be PD for "smart" people. |
I question how many of Steve's posts you've read. From memory, Steve hasn't implied that you don't have to do 'anything' to have a million dollars, unless you just happen to fall into a large sum of money by, what humans like to call, 'coincidence'. If there was any chance of misconception, Steve cleared it up far earlier than this particular post- many times.

As well as being authentic. Luck can be created (that's where the trusty Subjective reality mindset can be of great use).

That was a great article Steve. It has helped me further refine my understanding of this reality's nature.
Thank you.
