Many people are always in doubt of opportunities. They keep waiting in an old queue until time fades out on them. Anyway this can be attributed to the long term standards to run the world system; Work! Work!! Work!!!.
You may be wondering how the 90/10 rules works? They know something that you don't, or perhaps, something vital that you cared less about. It can be disheartening but the difference between the selected few and the masses is wisdom. This goes beyond being learned; wealth creation has nothing to do in being a professor in this or that.
Many things have been unveiled in the space of 3 decades yet few are yet to understand what is exactly going on. There were times where investment was for the selected.
We can talk of pre-IPOs where accredited investors pick the best spot before it gets launched into space.
Their profit was readymade because they picked a huge chunk of share at cents prices and will sell out maybe during the second phase IPO or perhaps hold on it a little depending on how rooted their research on such assets are.

Consider buying company shares at $0.1 per share and having to sell out at $20 in 10 to 15 years. I am talking of investors who can throw in the millions to billions. One of those investors you can talk of is the likes of Warren Buffett. He sure knows how to make slaves out of money.
Many believe that money is made by exchanging both physical energy and time for it. Talk about making money while you sleep and you are tagged a lazy type. Their entire idea is that sheer strength must be exchanged. We have seen this industry age mentality still taking a good hold on many.
Personally, even while I was working I was always not satisfied. I felt something was missing although I wasn't able to get the entirety of it. Why must I wait for 30 days for a pay was my first inconvenience?.
It shifted my mentality to creating a business and as time advances I have come to even realize a much easier way to stay profitable. Many careless about investing in reputable businesses. I am not saying one shouldn't put his efforts into building his but in the process make some bucks out of those that have stood the test of time.

The 10% dominating this industry know that indeed hard work is always involved in profit but the difference here is ‘what works hard’ rather than ‘who works hard’. The worker is supposed to be your investment capital while you save yourself the energy.
How many would love to settle for a 10 or 15% annual ROI? Few and this indeed is an opportunity. The early phase of crypto saw enthusiasts jumping in to gamble why the whales were providing liquidity.
Who saw actual profit in the long run? You can attest by yourself. The fact is, many just love gambling and that is an easy proof of indiscipline. Truth be told, wealth creation is not a crossed finger business, one has to put emotions in check and understand that it is little by little and compounding by compounding.
To conclude, let me add, as we speak, we are entering into the era of focusing more on investing and many are still fighting it. Why should artificial intelligence take the job market? Why shouldn't it, not everyone is interested in taking positions.
Many are burning up a huge chunk of money to stay relevant in the future. I know, not ALL have that million and billions of dollars to throw in. Nevertheless, another question is, how are you positioning yourself for opportunities?My focus is how blockchain tech, web3 and crypto will do. The time is drawing much closer to focus more on making slaves out of your assets. This is not about applying physical energy, such an era is fading out.
