I recently started to wonder how many of people who are millionaires, billionaires, those who influenced our world the most, achieved it by reading all these self-help, "success" books, going to business seminars?
I wonder if they achieved it by forcing themselves to think positively, by affirmations, by changing their beliefs about money etc?
At the beginning, I thought it is necessary to do these things in order to get rich but as I read some biographies of the most successful people I started to have doubts.I wonder if they achieved it by forcing themselves to think positively, by affirmations, by changing their beliefs about money etc?
For instance, Jobs used to read the same book every year and it wasn't even business-related book. He did not go to the business seminars.
Can you imagine Elon Musk reading self-help or motivational book?
I think that they simply understand the business (the same like you can understand math - explained in the paragraph below), they know how it works. They feel it inside, what they should do and simply do it. They are self-reliant.
Example from my life:
I'm in a 2'nd class in one of the best high schools in my country, in math class.
At home, I do nothing related to math, I don't do homework etc and despite this, I get the best grades while 50% of my class get the worst (I do not want to brag about how smart I am, whatever and I hope you get the point).
I do not need to do homework at home because I simply understand it. I know that if I want x, I should do y; if I have z and want c, I need to do q.
You can compare it to anything that you are best in.

Do you fell the same with business? What do you think about it?
@MJ DeMarco Would you like to share with us your opinion?
Please excuse me all mistakes that I did because I'm very ill now and my brain barely works haha
I suppose it could be a little bit better structured but I write it straight from my heart and head.
