Hello Forum,
This is my first Thread, and while I don't have much to say regarding myself, I wish to start this Thread to get some feedback from a group of people who won't immediately discard this as insanity, as unfortunately the entire population has done so far. I have purposely made the title vague, in order to attract people who may, or may not agree with the points that I am about to make. I simply wish to have a nice diverse debate, well not so much of a debate rather than a bunch (hopefully bunch) of responses. The points may be well known, or may be completely new points, I'm brand new to this forum so my apologizes if this happens to be a very well known topic.
The points:
Short and sweet, my points revolve around the fact (at least in my eyes) that the huge amount of 'statistics' and 'expert' advice regarding the chances of people achieving great success are completely false. I believe that anyone, yes I emphasize ANYONE, regardless of race, background, gender, or disability, can become whatever they wish to in the business world. Now the biggest problem that I seem to get from the outside world are the dang statistics that everyone tells me. Oh there are only 2,500 or so billionaires in the world, so your chances of becoming one are almost slim to none. Better hit those lotto tickets they tell you, because you have a better chance of winning the lottery that becoming a billionaire through your crazy 'business' ideas.
Now that makes my blood boil, and knowing the population on this forum, it likely makes yours boil as well. The statistics are blatantly false, and if you believe in them, well please listen to what I have to say regarding these facts that the mainstream loves to throw at us entrepreneurs and entrepreneur hopefuls. Firstly, people love this statistic, the 2,500 or so billionaires compared to 7 billion people in this world. Now they tell me that because of the 2,500/7,000,000,000 ratio, my chances of getting into the group is almost 0. The biggest thing that people don't understand (I try telling them but they scream and call me stupid), is that of those 7 billion people, how many want to be billionaires, or insert crazy aspiration in life (many entrepreneurs don't just eye the green).
We can agree that quite a lot of those 7 billion want to BE a billionaire. Now how many are willing to put in the time, in order to learn how to achieve it, think or get a plan to attain it, and have the tenacity and will to make that plan into reality? Not much I say, not that many. I can't really get exact numbers here, because I am not professor X and I can't read everyone's mind and listen to their life goals, but think, in the planet, how many people want to REALLY be a billionaire or something like that?
Let's say that in this 7 billion people world, only 10 million or so have the will to simply make a huge enterprise out of nothing. I say 10 million because you need someone who simply does not want to give up, and is physically unable to stop when there is a goal in mind. S0 we have 10 million, of those 10 million, let's say 5 million are willing to come up with a plan and study how to really do this. Then let's say only a million want to hit the books and learn how to use that plan.
Great we got a million rivals now, how am I supposed to become what I want with SO many people? Sit tight, and let me narrow that number down a little. Remember this is everyone who has the potential to do this. Wait, you said ANYONE can become this right, now only a MILLION can? Your such a hypocrite, eh no not really. Look, ANYONE can do it, but in the population, with so many different attitudes and work ethics, around a MILLION have the mindset. This forum was created by a person who wrote a book to get you in the MINDSET. His gift is not the blueprint on getting rich, it's calibrating those neurons for you to create your OWN blueprint.
So back to the million number. This is the people who can do this, whose work ethic and attitude fits the bill. Almost everyone on this forum is part of the million mark, for everyone here either is here to troll or learn/contribute to this wealth making beauty that is entrepreneurship. So I know you have the mindset, vs the rest of the population. Now we need to narrow down that number more, because while 1/1,000,000 is much better than 2,500/7,000,000,000 it is still not enough to have a convincing argument.
So here goes, the narrow down part. You have a million, of those million, how many actually want to start a business? How many actually want to do this? They have the tools, but who wants to actually do it? Let's go with 500,000. Now this is your rival base, in the planet you have 500,000 wannabe billionaires, now you got some heat. OK, how many of these people will start a business that will be able to GROW to necessary expectations?
This is the hard part, for I cannot judge a business on if it will fail or not. That's up to the market, and up to the customer, who is the ultimate boss of all of us. I also have no right to say this will fail, or this will not, for I don't see the niche, nor do I see the team who is building the enterprise. However, there are many businessmen who have some problem, or the market does not like the product, in which case the market has life over death power over the business.
I therefore cannot narrow it down further that around 500,000 and there is a good chance that these numbers are quite different, they are simply placeholders. The biggest point that I can make in this little Thread is the fact that statistics cannot be in your way as you strive to build a large business. They simply cannot be in the way of your dream, nor of your team.
With that I will end this post, and wish to ask the forum of their opinions. I wish to end by saying that anyone can make it, and any business can make it as well, you simply need to satisfy the all powerful boss, which is the rest of the population who is buying your good/service. Also with the advancement of civilization, more and more wealth is created and productivity goes up, so eventually, every human can become a billionaire or whatever they want to be. The universe is yours, you simply need to get all the wealth that you want.
