It has taken years for me to come up with what i consider a million dollar idea.
In the mean time i have tried to learn from some of the best minds. Robert Kiyosaki, mike maloney, dan lok, jim rogers and more. Knowledge is the base line for building success.
Hard work is not good enough. I had a boss that you used to drive that point home. We would say the men were working hard and long hours. His response was always "you know who was a hard worker? Sloth fromt he goonies." Think about it! If hard work is what makes people successful we would have rich construction workers, landscapers, and other manual labor jobs. Work Smart.
One of Rich Dads points was that people are one skill short of being rich. That construction worker with his skills could also start his own construction company and the landscaper could do the same.
When starting a business ive found proper planning and a just do it mentality has provided success thus far. Its not gonna be perfect and its probably not going to be an overnight success. If your thinking abiut starting a business there are so many resources online. Its 2018, you can find anything online, including how to build a business.
Just go for it! You will learn more investing in a business you build and failing than that new flat screen TV.
