Nick Perry argues schools teach you to be an employee, not an owner. Wealthy people build systems that generate income while they sleep; employees trade time for paychecks. Most people feel inspired briefly, then return to the paycheck trap.
Your school trained you to be broke and you never even questioned it. Think about it. 12 years of education and not one class on building wealth. Not one class on investing. Not one class on owning a business. They made sure you knew how to sit down, follow rules, and obey a system that was never designed for your freedom. Taught you to get good grades so you can get a good job so someone else can get rich off your time. You were trained to be the asset, not the owner. Employee asks, "how do I earn more?" Wealthy person asks, "how do I build something that earns without me?" One trades time for money, forever. The other builds a machine that runs while they sleep. Rich don't work harder, they think differently. They stopped asking, "what's my salary?" and started asking, "what's my system?" One shift changes everything. Scariest part? Most people will watch this, nod their head, feel something for, for 10 seconds, go right back to trading their only life for a paycheck they didn't design. The mindset was the prison, the diploma was the lock, and nobody ever handed you the key.
