The Risk is Real — But So is the Reward
I see a ton of people out there who want to make money. But are they willing to invest some of it? The answer is no.
I read in Rich Dad Poor Dad that Robert Kiyosaki wrote,
In all my years, I have never met a rich person who has never lost money. But I have met a lot of poor people who have never lost a dime — investing, that is.
And it’s actually pretty true. If you want to build a business worth a million dollars, you should be willing to invest some of it — maybe even $100k.
If you're not willing to spend money on courses, skills, or improving yourself, then you may stay where you are. The people who get rich pay themselves first — by learning, by growing. They don’t buy a luxury car or a fancy home the moment they get a job and have a single source of income.
Poor and middle-class people often stay stuck because they think they’re acquiring wealth by buying a house or a car. But that’s not really an investment — that’s not how wealth-building works.
The biggest investment you can make right now, as you're reading this, is to feed your brain. Go out, try new things, and learn. Take risks — but not in get-rich-quick schemes. Take risks in your beliefs. If you think you can make something better, more affordable, and more useful — then just do it. Make it work.
It’s yours to do. The idea is yours, the mind is yours, and the opportunity to make it work — is also yours.
Maybe you could turn that 3:00 AM idea into reality. If you keep working on it consistently, you will eventually make it work.
Make a daily habit of working on your dreams. Don’t end up working for a paycheck and eventually die daydreaming.
And don’t take this in a bad sense — not everyone is meant to be rich, and getting a job is completely okay too.
I once read this in the book Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl:
A man is able to live and even die for his ideals and values.
