The Best Tutors of Moneymaking

Moneymaking cannot be taught in school because most of the tutors will either be unqualified to teach it or may be teaching what they do not live. Experience, they say, is the best teacher. No other phenomenon captures that truism better than wealth accumulation. The qualified tutors are about 2% of 7+billion people. If you remove those that stole the money they have from that percentage, the number of the eligible is further reduced. And one thing that is common to this elite clique is how they manage time. They prioritise more important things such that they have little time for other things, least of which is teaching arduous principles of wealth to a bunch of pupils who are looking for quick fixes.

Are You Operating Plan B or A?

To begin a new chapter, you must end an old chapter ... 9 times out of 10, failure is resorting to Plan B when Plan A gets too risky, too costly, or too difficult. That’s why most people are living their Plan B. They haven’t burned their bridges to the past.

Easy to Idealise

It is easy to idealise about things that should be done or put in place when we are not the ones paying the bills. But when put in direct charge of coming up with the resources to procure those things, ideas stop flowing.
