Short YouTube clip (TJ Walker) advising that two major determinants of long-term personal wealth are: (1) willingness to learn difficult, high-value skills (example: programming/Python) and (2) regularly creating value (programs, books, courses). Walker frames this as a practical habit that won’t guarantee billionaire status but will markedly increase wealth over time.
Unless you're inheriting a lot of wealth. The two biggest factors that are going to affect your long term wealth come down to this. How many hard things are you willing to learn today? Are you willing to learn Python programming? I'm not, but if you're willing to, that's going to help you a lot. Learn hard things that are valued by other people and then create on a daily basis. Create new programming, write that book, create that online course. Learning hard stuff. Creating stuff. Do that. You might not become a billionaire, but you will dramatically increase your wealth over time. Follow the TJ Walker habit.
