5 years ago, I tried to tell all my friends that we should go to seminars and learn about entrepreneurship. They all dismissed the idea. They told me that it's just a waste of both time and money.
I pursued going to seminars and reading books and starting a business. My first business failed because I had no experience running a company. They all told me to just take a master's degree or just find a job. They ridiculed me.
I avoided my group of friends after my company closed.
5 years later, I hung out with the same group of people after not seeing them for a long time. This time, I already own a condo and a car. I already know all about investing, managing a business, and marketing. I am already a self published author that's earning royalties far beyond their monthly salaries. I own 2 profitable businesses.
The group of friends were wasting their time playing video games, watching tv shows, watching porn, reading comic books. They still insist that reading business books is boring, and they subscribe to the belief that "street smarts is better than book smarts." They think their job is boring and they don't do anything to be better.
Then, these group of friends told me "teach me everything you know now that you're rich."
In my mind, I was like "no way, you weren't there when I needed you most."
