i'm a college student right now, but there have been times where i've considered dropping everything and trying to start a career now (instead of waiting a few years). and everyone says things like, "yeah, college dropouts get really far in life..."  but i know that there are ways to get around it if you have the right mentality and the determination to make it happen.
sooo, anyway... thanks for letting me know that there are more people like that out there. you just proved my point, so thank you. |
Here's something that might help. Let's say, for example, you want to make a six figure income.
Take all the people who you know what offer you advice. Everyone from friends, to family, to teachers etc. Now, eliminate anyone who doesn't make six figures.
Now, take anyone left over (if anyone) and eliminate anyone who makes six figures or more but doesn't do it in a way you'd enjoy.
Who are you left with? Anyone? If you're like most people, chances are probably not.
I realized a long time ago that I'm not going to become wealthy and make millions of dollars listening to the advice of people who are not wealthy and who don't make millions of dollars. It doesn't mean they don't love me, it doesn't mean they aren't my friends, it doesn't even mean they are bad people or that they don't have my best interest at heart. All it means is that they are offering advice for me to be just like them, and I didn't want that so I didn't listen.
98% of the population is in debt or broke. If you don't want to be in debt or broke, you've got to be prepared to do what 98% of people are not prepared to do. Just my opinion, but that's what worked for me.
