Am I personally going to fund your education though? Heck no. There's quite a list of people ahead of you in line. But I do what I can to help you help yourself, including encouraging you to think more resourcefully and creatively instead of succumbing to a socially conditioned mindset that sees a lack of money as a serious obstacle.
College student Alex Tew funded his education by launching a very simple web site. It earned him a million dollars in a matter of months. Another 17-year old girl built a million-dollar online business in 3 years. Were they just geniuses? No. Lucky? Perhaps. But what differentiates them most is that they put their attention on opportunities instead of obstacles. |
Steve, the examples you give are people who created money, but once again they did it to make money to pay for something, not because they loved doing what they did. How is that different from having a job?
Also, what if you're already going what you love outside of work, but it just doesn't make money yet? What if converting it into a money-making thing right now would take a lot more effort than having a job? Wouldn't it be better to just keep doing what you love doing as much as you can, and just producing "output" and wait for the universe to return back your "output" with an inflow of resources, and when that happens then quit your job?
