A discussion on why optimism is essential for building wealth and starting businesses. If you believe the world won't improve or that conspiracies block opportunity, you won't invest or start anything. Belief in a bigger future is what actually drives wealth creation.
I can predict.
Whether or not someone is going to be rich depending on how they answer this question. Is the world going to get better or is it going to get worse?
Capitalism.
Requires some semblance of optimism.
If you are.
Not optimistic about where.
The world's going to.
Go, then there.
Is no.
Reason to.
Start a business. There is no.
Reason to.
Make an investment.
Being a capitalist.
Requires that you bet.
On a bigger.
And brighter future.
Than what exists today.
This is why.
Pessimists.
Tend to make.
Really bad entrepreneurs.
If you think that there's a conspiracy.
Theory to keep.
You poor, you are.
Probably not going.
To invest in the system that.
Makes other people rich.
If you think.
That there are mysterious.
People behind the curtain pulling.
Strings, you.
Are probably not going.
To start a business that they can take away from.
You at any time.
If you think that the world is.
Getting better and headed in a bigger.
And brighter direction.
Then you will participate.
In that unfolding. And that's when I know that someone.
