The Real Secret to Wealth

Understanding that life is not fair is a core principle in wealth building and successful living.
When you understand life is not fair, you don't feel guilt, shame or self pity.
What you do develop is compassion for those who life has been VERY unfair to.
In Kevin Hogan's world view, compassion for others, empathy for those who hurt is worth as much as any amount of money that can be pocketed....but for now let's get back to wealth....
Back to the scenario....You have $10,000 to invest in inventory and even if you work twice as hard as the millionaire next door, the odds are stacked against you.
Does that mean you CAN'T succeed?
Not at all.
My Mom never said that her kids would grow up and be rich. Her mantra was, "We will survive." And just believing that, believing that we wouldn't have to go to the orphanage in Waukegan was a lot of hope to grab onto. There was no talk of "success". In retrospect it wasn't possible at the specific time. It was about surviving. And if we accomplished surviving then maybe....
And not everyone in the family survived. My stepdad died. (My Father had left permanently a few years earlier.) Life is not fair. He was 46 when he died.
(And of course there are children who will die today who deserve to live long and happy lives.)
4 of her 5 children grew up to earn annual six figure incomes. Those kids beat the odds. None of them "tried to get rich." Survival was where it all started.
We thought a LOT more about NOT wanting what we had lived through than we EVER thought about what was possible.
And survival skills through an unfair life caused just that: Survival.
If you can survive the bad things that happen in life through your survival skills, then you can draw from those skills to actually win in life.
If you can't, you lose.
In fact, survival can be FAR MORE DIFFICULT than succeeding.
And there is NO SHAME in surviving.
