I swear you get dumber with every post. It's as if each day you bounce out of bed and ask yourself, 'how can I outstupid yesterdays comments?' And then you set about doing it. Roll Eyes

so you think you get rich by

complaining
gossiping
refusing to take 'personal responsibility"
taking
setting the bar low
offering up low quality service
living in the world of "me,me,me"
seeing every interaction as a win/lose
being jealous and envious of those who have been succesful
and numbing the pain with ... kfc

1. trump is not who i am talking about.
his gift is gaining attention in life
not succeeding, unless you define attention as success,

2. but if you are a quality human being, you are going to get rich , as a by product of your quality

in a market driven economy, if you are not unselfishly putting others needs before your own, people will not do business with you.

as such , the market, forces you to become better .

Two points on which we both agree.

Struggling to read English are you? I'll type slower for you.

'Y o u g e t d u m b e r w i t h e v e r y p o s t'.

Did that help at all?

john,

youre trying to feel better about your self and boost your self esteem by hating on a stranger on the internet

this will not help you

could i suggest you spend that time reading a business book by seth godin or gary v

your mistake falls under the heading of "opportunity cost"

trump loves attention more then money

attention is a leading indicator that you know how to mess with peoples minds

money is a leading indicator that other citizens value you

do people value what they attend to?

in some instances, yes they do

from a monetary point of view , we even say you have to PAY attention.

but you can certainly offer value without wanting the limelight

in fact the limelight is probably a burden

as i pointed out to you, the parents of CNN presenter Amderson Cooper are the Van der built family.
one of americas richest.
they hate the limelight

anderson was made to change his name when he went into the media to keep the spotlight off them

History and the world are full of high-quality human beings who were/are rich yet who have few assets and little cash to their name.

john

you silly billy.

i dont want your approval.

have you heard of pro bono work, done by successful lawyers?

they do it to try to help losers get back on track

thats how you come accross to me

as a loser who needs a hand up.

by offering you wisdom, i'm all good with the interaction

if you refuse to accept the wisdom, thats on you

now have you read dan kennedys excellent book yet

incorrect

grifters might make a modest income but people soon catch on

people who are passionate, deliever good value for money, feel it is their OBLIGATION to deliver good value for money, will get into a virtual endless upward spiral.

if you are the best surgeon, the best mechanic, the best chef, eventually, as the market increasingly understand this, you win

if you try to grift in small business, you will very quickly come undone

grifting is really only possible in government programs

the free market will never tolerate it

I'll start with the headline on the forum page... and use it a bit:-

Why the rich are genetically inferior.

Well - because they are not complete human beings, are generally restricted in their worldview and contacts with the real world, and thus are incapable of making valid decisions, a problem they pass on to their dorks offspring.

That's why things keep getting worse.

if we wanted to define "better' we would say

unselfish
put others first
always smiling
always positive
want to share their gifts
want to contribute
understand you have to give before you recieve
rarely complain
dont gossip
always aiming to give more
passionate
focused

now, if you have the above attributes and you go into business, be it as a tradie or some other small business, what happens?

you absolutely thrive in the market
people flock to you
return customers are virtually gauranteed.
you get so many customers , you have to raise your prices to keep the workload manageable

and you get rich

thereby proving the hypothesis that rich people get rich because they have all the admirable personailty and behavioural characteristics

The truth is about the exact opposite.
