Thank you! I loved your article. My current strategy to get rich is this:
1. Learn how to be my money’s boss. No matter how much money you make, it won’t make you “rich” if you don’t harness it with discipline.
2. Set myself apart with tiny changes. Instead of listening to the same playlists every day, listen to informative podcasts. Instead of watching TV after work, blog or research. Instead of talking about trite events or trends, talk about things you are trying to make progress in and ask them about how they do things. Over time, I will be that much smarter and ahead in life than if I didn’t.
3. Write a plan and keep going. I’m determined to make money on my blog by the end of the year despite the low analytics telling me otherwise. I just need to keep learning the ropes.
Good luck with your path!

Kalyn this article is phenomenal! So informative I read each and every word. I had no idea Steve Jobs was fired from Apple at one point?! You are right, those critics can get in in our heads and really cause some serious self-doubt. So inspiring to pause a second and remember all the failures that successful people go through before they figure out and reach their true purpose, which then leads to {easier} success. Thank you for encouraging and inspiring me with this article today!

In reply to Lindsey. The story of how people attained wealth is something that is left out of the political debate. It's easy to be jealous of someone for where they are, it becomes harder to do so when we realize where they came from. Selling pens. Thanks for sharing the story of Johnny Depp!

When you put hard work in the right places it’s amazing where it can take you. I just have to remember that reading books isn’t going to get me anywhere….I have to apply what I learn. 🙂 Speaking of reading books, do you have any others that have inspired you in your business journey?

I want to read the millionaire mind book. But we hear stories all the time of the many rags to riches stories from famous people. I remember once reading how Johnny Depp started out selling pens! PENS! Whenever I feel like I’m not going to get anywhere or reach my goals I just remind myself that even the very best start at the bottom.

I read the MIllionaire Next Door few years ago and it completely blew me away. It helped me change my ideas and focus, while improving my business tremendously. Hard work and dedication will take you anywhere, maybe not at millionaire level, but pretty far nonetheless.

These self-made millionaires are true Americans, with the can-do spirit and discipline to achieve their goals. I wish all of the so-called 1% were like them. No reasonable person would begrudge any of these people their achievements and the financial and other benefits that often accompany such achievements.
