This is How Society Sets You Up to Fail
Two years ago, I started a side business with a couple guys I train with. The response from friends and family has been eye opening.
That same year, I also bought a $50,000 sports car. Everyone complimented the car. Loved it. Said it’s awesome. Congratulated me for going into debt for a car I 100% do not need.
But when I started this business, everyone told me to be careful. To think about the risks. That you might lose the money you put in. What if you don’t succeed?
This is how society sets you up to fail.
Anything that is conventional and guaranteed to put you in debt is normalized. This includes: Buying a house. Car. College. This is the normie trap that most people fall into. They spend $100,000 on college. They spend $50,000 on a new car. They spend $400,000 on a mortgage. And they spend $30,000 on a wedding.
These same people will look you straight in the eye, and they’ll tell you that it’s too risky to start a business with a $25,000 loan.
Anything risky is demonized. Even if the risk is a 100% better opportunity than the sure thing that’s going to cost you money.
Most people are so stuck in the matrix, that they refuse to try a new path. They stick to the conventional paths.
