being really good at believing in yourself, not quitting, not taking no for an answer, keep going, keep going, never quit.

I think those are really the only necessary ingredients in order to achieve enough success to potentially retire or like escape the rat race.

Yeah, exactly.

That's right.

You have to really, really want it.

Here's the irony of life.

At some point, you're going to get to a position where you're like, do I really want it?

And that's when, you know, you have to grow and change your mind.

And that's what I'm saying is scaling past that is a different thing.

Like there isn't any material thing that I really want right now.

I'm not that liquid of a rich person, right?

Like on paper, I have large wealth.

Like I can't buy everything that I want, but I also bought enough things to know that that's not what life is about.

And I wish that for everyone.

I wish for everyone to get to a point that they find that the material world is just like not all that worth it.

I think money is great in so many ways, but you buy a car and you're like, all right, that's cool.

It's like it's not going to really at some point you're like, okay, what do I really want?

And that question is actually a lot harder.

But if you're starting from zero, fix your mind on whatever it is, a car, success, status, whatever it is, and drive really hard at it and you're going to get it.

What's up, man?
