Competence comes with experience. The more you do, and learn from it, the more competent you becomeBryanC said:Maybe I am just incompetent with no real idea of a path I am walking.
You never lose your fear of uncertainty.BryanC said:I mean how do you KNOW when you're on the right path and you lose that fear of uncertainty?
It may lessen, as you gain success. And (I'm sure you've seen this around you)-- lots of insecure guys may FAKE like they've got it all together. The bling is part of hiding the insecurity.
Deep down, they know what's really true.
Warren Buffet still lives in the house he bought for $31,500 back in 1958. He drives a non-flashy American car.
He's the second richest guy in the entire US.
Does he have enough to buy bling? Of course.
Thing is-- he doesn't NEED to.
He's dealt with his demons, and knows that buying or showing off expensive stuff is not the key to happiness-- or to staying wealthy.
The key to building wealth, and staying wealthy-- is learning how to make money. As MJ has said, developing systems that are both automated and scalable (ie, can grow, exponentially, in a very short time) is a great way to "Get Rich Quick".
For us, "Getting Rich Quick" may take years-- not a few hours or days.
Because next to spending 40 years at a J.O.B. to get a 401K that loses 50% of its value in one year-- that's the Get Poor Slow method.
BTW, I smoked for years (I was, and still am, a Dead Head). Had my last doob at a Dead Show (Valentines day, 1988).
Stopped b/c I was stoned for 3 weeks solid afterwards (walking into walls), and realized I was getting too old for that sh*t.
I won't bore you with my story. Suffice to say my life changed in big ways when I stopped.
