I am from Wenzhou and my family has been engaged in business for generations.
I would like to share some of my personal experiences, but it is definitely not a disdain for the poor.
On the contrary, I hope to provide some beneficial thinking inspiration for young people.
Firstly, the thinking of the poor has strong limitations and contagiousness. Poor people think all day about how to save money.
Money is not saved, it is earned. Rich people never consider saving money, but how to use money to make money.
Poor people like and can only be with a group of poor people. The thinking and action factors that lead to poverty among each other, in the reflection of the brain mirror, influence and reinforce each other, and cannot leave the information cocoon. Rich people always like to build networks, enter high-level circles to find business opportunities, and summarize experiences from successful individuals.
Secondly, poor people spend their days rushing around for three meals, without any free time to think about how to turn around, how to obtain the key to wealth, and how to find influential people in their careers. I don't know if anyone has watched a Hong Kong documentary.
A wealthy second generation thinks they have strong abilities, but in fact, this wealthy second generation is also very capable and founded their own listed company.
He believes that as long as he has strong abilities, even if he comes from a humble background, he can start from scratch. So, under the record of the documentary filming team, he started from a low-level cleaner and planned to start from scratch.
As a result, he found that after deducting rent, meals, and other necessary living expenses every month, there was very little left, and he could not accumulate funds to start a business. And in order to save costs, the rented place is very remote, and the daily commute to and from work takes only 4 hours.
His body hardly gets the minimum rest, which leads to his mental and physical decline compared to before. He had almost no time to think about entrepreneurship and networking, and all his energy and time were focused on how to live a humble life. Unexpectedly, after persisting for three months, this wealthy second-generation gave up his self-made entrepreneurship and declared it a failure. So there is a very interesting sentence: If you want someone to be useless, make them too busy at work to think about the future. Finally, poor people without the accumulation of primitive capital will not bring about the snowball effect of wealth.
It must be understood that in the current era, the speed at which capital earns money is far faster than the speed at which labor earns money. The divergence between the two is not linear extrapolation, but the generation difference of geometric multiples.
The richer the person, the faster they make money, and the more they rely on labor to make money. As they age and age, the slower they make money.
If young people who start from scratch do not make major mistakes in their youth, can accumulate a certain amount of wealth, capital, and quickly improve their cognition, and successfully transform into skilled capital earners, this is a small probability of luck, because most people cannot accumulate wealth in their youth.
Even if they accumulate a certain amount of wealth, they cannot understand the mystery of capital making money. Even if they understand it, they may not be able to successfully operate capital, After filtering through these layers, I believe that
