Excuse my approach but i could'nt help but ask. Is black magic or lucky charms the real key wealth?
I live in South Africa and we have diverse cultures from muslims, indians, africans and whites. One thing I've noticed among the rich here is that most have some sort of belief and use black magic to convince other people to do business with them or to push their product.
Notice how some people will start a business from scratch and get tons of investors in a short period of time. Notice also how a flawed product will sell like hot cakes. I read a wealth building book some time ago and the author wrote that the main key to business is to persuade people or convince them.
I live in the east coast of South Africa where there is a high population of indians. and guess what... most of them are successful and admit to use some sort of Voodoo to grow their business.
So is this the missing part that every successful writer will skip and not tell readers for some reason. I know that making millions takes a lot of work but is there some other hidden factor that puts odds in your favor...? something like BLACK MAGIC?
Actually, some of your post is decent. If I can chop it around it looks like this...
Magic stuff:

Other observations you have made:
- Notice how some people will start a business from scratch and get tons of investors in a short period of time.
- Notice also how a flawed product will sell like hot cakes.
- I read a wealth building book some time ago and the author wrote that the main key to business is to persuade people or convince them.
- I know that making millions takes a lot of work
You got half the puzzle.
You just got to stop letting your brain being lazy and linking these observations to magic.
You already know that some products sell better than others even when inferior (marketing, sales and persuasion) and that some people seem to attract money and investors faster than others (networking, sales and persuasion).
Also, you have noted hard work pays off.
I would look outside your country to places where magic is not even a factor and something people don't even think about - the USA, Europe, Canada, Australia etc. How are these people succeeding?
Also, keep in mind that people like to tell stories and simplify their success to protect their business.
The 48 laws of power would be a good read too for you.
And of course, the Fastlane Millionaire if you haven't already.
Success is half maths, half mentality.
