Everyone wants wealth and success, but very few are willing to work hard to achieve them. By work hard too, I do not mean digging holes.

People need to work hard on developing skills that other people highly value. Become a residential security expert as I have done or a private investigator as just two examples of thousands.

Those things are what I'm passionate about, so that is why I pursued them as skill sets. What are your passions, and what are you doing to improve your knowledge and skills related to them?

Another way to look at it is what I tell my children. I tell them to do what 95% of other people either do not want to do or cannot do. If you stick to something within that rare 5%, you are almost guaranteed to be successful.

Also, follow my motto, and stop wasting your time in life. My motto is, "Stop playing or watching the part of a hero, and be one instead." In other words, stop being entertained by circuses (TV, games, etc.) and get to work instead.

Time is your most valuable asset. Use it wisely. Stop wasting it!

I also tell my children to learn a STEM profession, a trade, and at least one additional language. That's another easy way to understand the path to success. If you do those things, you are again almost guaranteed to be successful.
