I’m starting to realize that to get rich, one needs to hang out with rich people but I’m not sure where to meet them. The only places I can think of are Silicon Valley and New York (no I don’t know where in New York they are).
Why have rich friends?
- If they didn’t make the money themselves, they at least know people who did can learn from them
- They’re the ideal customer because they can pay more for the same product
This may be good advice but some people need advice on the good advice.
Some people do have the skills and ability to successfully run a business but have no clue how to start one from scratch. Without having the proper network of people there’s little chance they would figure it out by themselves.
I play in this narrow lane, helping those willing to take action to start their business, working on customer validation, from an idea that has an intention of providing value.
If their goal is to be rich or meet wealthy people, I don’t help this demographic, as it’s not likely to succeed.
you people always are able to find an excuse for why you’re not getting what you want.
That’s total crap. I started from scratch as someone living in a small town in Italy, registered company abroad, and now making 10-15k a month, no investors, bootstrapped and only had 4k euros to my name. Just massive action.
The thing about starting a business from scratch is that 100% of the time it’s going to be mass problems you’re constantly solving. Eventually after solving enough of them with a direction in mind, you find efficient ways to provide the solution to your customers, and replicate those means.
Literally anyone who has worked through this process understands that mental fortitude is what success takes. Anyone asking for “rich friends” clearly lacks that fortitude, and is just looking for a shortcut to success
