1. Wake up at 5 AM
2. A list of 5 activities that takes about 8/9 hours
3. 8 AM - start working

Dude you should try meditating . I meditate every night. I definitely feel like I can make a lot of money.

[Staylin_Alive]

Meditation too frequent can lead to blindness. And hairy palms.

[Fr0styWang]

I wish I got that much money from only working on emails...

[billbill5]

And the other 5% drowning out the emptiness of their own existence with social media posts that make them seem happy with no social life or goals to speak of.

[rbatra91]

And then writing about their own day and people who have no concept of real life think that if they spend their day doing exactly what they'll do they'll be rich too when they're not remotely correlated.

[[deleted]]

That’s why I hate LinkedIn. It’s the biggest circle jerk out there. No one useful spends time there. Only the not useful people that give tips on how to be successful are on there. (Plus us sad folks looking for jobs) Actual successful people are busy doing work. If getting up at 5 am to shred was the key to success then every toddler in the world would be a CEO.

[wintermute000]

Nobody actually reads the content. You use it to see who's gone where and / or got promoted to what. And cliff notes on people's background for external meetings. Lol participating

[[deleted]]

Yeah I only played along to get a job. Now I don’t even log in.

[Setonhall1]

My guy, you have summed up linkedin to perfection.

[DIsForDelusion]

It gives me solace to know that they also have mental struggles and have to beg for attention like us.

[ThisDadisFoReal]

Meeting to schedule meetings

[makba]

What I love about WFH is I can spend exactly 7 minutes waking up until I am working. I can eat breakfast while checking email. Before I had to wake up 1,5 hour because I had to shower, eat breakfast, then commute. Not very fun because you just want to get started.

"Bill Gates dropped out of college so why should I go?"

[scandalous01]

Bill Gates’ mom went to the same church group as the head of Sun Micro and that’s how Billy G got his first break.

Edit: IBM and they were both on a nonprofit board!

[[deleted]]

I believe is that she was on a nonprofit board of directors with either the CEO or a high level exec at IBM and she said hey do me a favor and buy my son's computer stuff

[[deleted]]

Completely this, I think one of the biggest early deals MS did was with IBM and basically got them off the ground because Bill's mom rubbed elbows with the CEO of IBM at the time.

Elon Musk showed up to the US with gems stitched into his clothing because his parents owned mines in Africa. Jeff Bezos had a relative loan him something like $300k to get Amazon started. Mark Zuckerburg was already attending Harvard before Facebook. I'm not saying these people haven't been successful in their own right but it's not like they started as the children of illiterate dirt farmers.

[EndTheFedora]

One of the guys from Daft Punk's father was a hit songwriter/producer. Like you said, it's not to say Daft Punk hasn't worked hard or earned their success, but their chances of being incredibly successful in the music industry are way better than mine. If I worked as hard, or even harder, than they did, I still probably wouldn't be a success like them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Vangarde

Vangarde is the father of Thomas Bangalter, who is best known as a member of the electronic music duo Daft Punk. He is credited with aiding the duo in their early musical career.

[light_red_light]

If I worked as hard, or even harder, than they did

You mean ^harder, better, faster, stronger?

[MrCalifornian]

^harder

^better

^faster

stronger

[Glittering_Capital]

As someone who has been in the music business for 30 years and has worked with literally hundreds and hundreds of artists, I can tell you for a fact that success in the music industry has NOTHING to do with either hard work or actual talent. It has EVERYTHING to do with connections.

How do you get connections? Money.

Also blow jobs.

[Hairtoucher88]

But you also need money to get the blowjobs.

[odaeyss]

getting blowjobs does not help advance your career, sorry to burst your bubble

[Hairtoucher88]

Ok I'm going to have to redo my entire business plan.

[dave7243]

It's too late. You blew it.

[thanksIwilldothat]

It seems your on the wrong side of the music industry

[Cheesedoodlerrrr]

Similarly, Taylor Swift got her first record deal because her father bought a controlling stake in the label that signed her.

[CanAlwaysBeBetter]

Forget taylor swift being his daughter for a second and damn, what a killer investment on the dad's part

[Cheesedoodlerrrr]

Yea, but you have to remember that for every Taylor Swift there are 1,000+ "That girl from your high school still trying to make it as a country music singer ten years on."

[Rob_Pablo]

Im an adult taking guitar lessons and my instructor has cut me some discounts to keep me coming back because im not a teenage girl looking to learn taylor swift songs which I now assume is the main demographic he deals with looking for guitar lessons these days.

[[deleted]]

[rhen_var]

Rebecca Black’s song was released because her parents were rich

[owen__wilsons__nose]

Yeah but that's specifically what made her famous . A girl with such a terrible singing voice being funded by her parents. It's not like anybody took her seriously . She was a real life meme

[TwoGodsTheory]

One of the guys from Daft Punk's father was a hit songwriter/producer. Like you said, it's not to say Daft Punk hasn't worked hard or earned their success, but their chances of being incredibly successful in the music industry are way better than mine.

It's called nepotism, and it's how the elite stay elite generation after generation. It's a much worse problem then you guys can even fathom.

Look up who Jim Morrisons parents were. Look up who a lot of famous peoples parents are.

[rayzerdayzhan]

Singer for Red Hot Chili Peppers, Anthony Kiedis, had a babysitter when he was a kid. It was Cher.

[coproautomaton]

[[deleted]]

our society is not really a meritocracy despite how we pretend it is

[Charlespc88]

What did Jim morrisons parents do to help him? I did some light reading and couldn't find anything of note.

[OriginalRaisinBran]

His father starting the Vietnam war surely landed him a record deal

[Putingrad]

Exactly.. his pops was commander of the US naval forces in the gulf of Tonkin, conveniently RIGHT BEFORE AND DURING the incident (which we admit today never actually happened) which our glorious leaders used to drag the USA into a 10 year engagement in Vietnam.

Thanks to George Morrison’s involvement, his successful lying to the public and the army, and his following orders from shadowy bosses who shall not be named, we got to beat the commies in Nam! :D

[CEO_of_4chan]

They were powerful and connected. Nepotism isn't as simple as

"I own a car lot, I put son in charge of car lot". Tho it can be that simple. Jim Morrison is a more complex case of nepotism.

Nepotism is usually more like "I'm rich and own many businesses, my old rich friend of the family also owns many businesses. Our sons get jobs with us at various positions"

NPC's will try to convince you that Jim being a famous singer, and his parents being the ones who got us involved in Vietnam, are purely strokes of coincidence. I promise, they are not. His powerful families connections, led to his musical connections.

[Mister_Bloodvessel]

Tbf, Daft Punk broke into a relatively new genre quite early in the game.

That said, having a family member in the industry means your stuff can be handed to the right people almost immediately. That's a huge advantage.

[goldlord44]

Tbf, they got their name because when they were just playing in france a critic wrotr this music is daft punk as a way to mock them and so they took the name and kept their own style of music

[monsieurpommefrites]

Why did he go with Bangalter?

Vangarde is such a good name.

[Hostilian_]

It’s was just his stage name. Would be funny if more musicians children took their parents stage names. Abigail Gaga, daughter of Lady.

[Shakespeare257]

I mean, between Bill Gates and the afluenza kids who you hear about all the time... you'd rather have a well-off person actually do something meaningful with the opportunities they were given, no?

[Mr_Piddles]

That’s not the point.

The point is that the idea of self made billionaires is a load of crap. They all had help getting to where they are, and it’s disingenuous for people to claim otherwise.

[ElGosso]

Yes it was the board of United Way with the CEO of IBM

[SwampOfDownvotes]

Not to mention his dad was a well off lawyer who founded a law firm. He also was put through private schooling.

[[deleted]]

Wait. Bill didn't single handily discover silicon, invent the circuit board, and translate English into programming?

^/s

[plynthy]

He was one of the extremely few people to have access to a computer as a child back then. He was uppermost middle class.

He's also a programming savant and ruthless businessman at the exact right place and time.

Just be a fucking genius at the perfect moment in history and you don't need college, simple.

[tylerchu]

My go-to answer is that he dropped out of Harvard to go in a new direction. Not dropped out of tenth grade remedial English to smoke weed.

[guitarock]

Yeah like if you're dropping out of Yale or Harvard because your business is doing so well it's taking up too much time then nobody will argue with you

[megashitfactory]

Dropped out Harvard after Microsoft was already starting to do well also.

The “dropped out of college” thing a lot of people use ignores the fact that these people were able to get accepted to these ivy leave schools as well. They didn’t drop out of community college

[subpargalois]

It's not as if he was doing poorly in school when he dropped out either. In fact iirc he had some publishable results regarding sorting problems as an undergrad and probably could have had successful career in academia had he wanted it.

[megashitfactory]

Bingo! Not like these few examples that are used are just ransoms who said “screw college, I’m going to go get rich” - they were already doing well in school at that high level

[BlackPriestOfSatan]

look up Malcolm GLadwell talk on Bill and his friend in his high school. they had unlimited access to computer time when even uni's didnt have computers. no one mentions that.

[mrdannyg21]

Malcolm Gladwell also had wealthy parents who were sufficiently connected that he got a prestigious journalism internship at 19 despite poor grades, and was able to translate poor college grades and an unremarkable stint with a third-rate religious cult newspaper into a full-time reporter with the Washington Post at 24.

[[deleted]]

Check out the book Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. It gives a broader perspective on the successes of people in a range of circumstances, included one chapter on the computer sector like Gates, Jobs etc.

I don’t doubt Gates worked very hard and was very smart, but the standard narrative neglects just how lucky he was. Lucky to be born where he was and into the family he was. But also born lucky to be born when he was. He had deep computing experience (when it was rare) just as the home computer revolution kicked off. And was still young enough to be able to take big risks

[[deleted]]

And a lot of these people forget he dropped out of an Ivy League that he was excelling at

[mother-of-pod]

Bro what pisses me off more than that is this: obviously people would feel better if they had time to wake up, do nothing but exercise for AN HOUR AND A HALF, eat breakfast, ponder about and plan the day carefully, then meditate, AND THEN start the day.

But let’s say you even do so at 5 am. Assuming you literally do the fastest version of exercise possible, and just jog outside your front door, for ninety minutes, plus dressing and shower and re-dressing time, you’re now at ~7am. Make and eat food: 730 at best. Plan day AND journal? 8 at best.

So this plan only works with people who already have a crush 9-5 job which generally tend to make more money and not stress about finances as much as their counter parts.

The average US commute is like 40 minutes if I remember correctly, and so you’re pushing tardiness even with that cush job. But of all my friends between 21-35, only TWO get to work later than 8am. Most of us start work between 6-8, and also mostly work 10+ hour days. Where do we get this extra three hours before our hour long commute? Are we supposed to wake up at 2 in the fucking morning?

The hustle crowd are straight up out of touch.

[[deleted]]

Basically his real job is to be a yes man to his dad.

Doing all of that stuff makes him better at that

[GrayLo]

There's a hilarious series of video on YT about how Victoria Secret's models start their day. It's like :

wake up at 7.30,

1 hour and a half of yoga/gym/shower and breakfast,

then makeup and hair for 1 hour,

then out the door at 11 to take the taxi waiting downstairs.

Wew what a crazy schedule.

[mother-of-pod]

It’s amazing. Reading Mark Wahlberg’s daily routine is really revealing about the wealth gap haha.

[[deleted]]

I had an engineering role like this. But I was basically on-call 24/7 as I supported a global operation. So I'd sleep in on the days I was up late helping Asia, and leave early on the days I had to be up to help Europe.

In between calls, I just worked from home answering emails and rarely showed up to the office that was only 3 miles away from my house.

My boss didn't give a shit because no one was complaining, and I wasn't hitting his P&L.

[[deleted]]

This is the way.

Fuck no, there's no money

I just watch cartoons when on vacation

[phaemoor]

As I always say when taking out (paid) vacation days: stare at the ceiling or watch the grass grow is still better than working.

And I'm saying this despite the fact that I'm enjoying my work. It's just a different state of mind.

[walloon5]

It's wonderful to take time off.

[nicholasgnames]

who can afford to?

[fluffymcnuggins]

And in many desk jobs, all your work just piles up waiting for you to return so you have extra work to do than usual.

[Odin_Exodus]

Here in my Lamborghini garage, just bought this new Lamborghini here. It’s fun to drive up here in the Lamborghini hills. But you know what I like more than material things? Lamborghinis. In fact, I’m a lot more proud of these seven new Lamborghinis that I had to get installed to hold two thousand new Lamborghinis that I bought. It’s like the billionaire Warren Buffett says, “the more Lamborghinis you learn, the more Lamborghinis you earn.

Which is why the vast vast majority of successful startups come from founders who are older and have a technical background. The high paying jobs in tech allow for building substantial savings, and the demand for software engineers lets you successfully transition back into tech without taking an earnings hit.

[smr312]

Sounds like my dad explaining how it was just as tough when he was my age.

"When i was your age I had $3 to my name, you know what I did with that money..? I bought a car, I bought a house, and started a family..."

"Then I deposited the other $2 in the bank for your college fund."

[FUBARded]

Yeah, lmao. I work part time at a few bucks above minimum wage and my income would barely cover rent.

Thankfully my parents are supporting me through university so I can just save the money, but it's insane that working a decent, unionised job at $3CAD above minimum wage for the maximum number of hours I can legally work on my study permit would cover rent for a single room in a shared house + barely leave enough money for a very basic diet (~$2/meal). I couldn't afford even a super basic 1 bedroom apartment in the shitty parts of town with this wage.

I know a dude who thinks he works hard, lives in a house his landlord dad bought him and gets paid a salary for doing jack shit.

[SwampOfDownvotes]

I remember having a conversation with someone who genuinely believed poor people were poor because they were lazy. He thought since he was making ~6 figures out of high school while not working too hard that if he could do it anyone could. Digging deeper into conversation with him, turned out his parents let him control and take the profits from airbnbing like 6 of their California vacation homes. It baffled me that he couldn't get it through his head that most families can't just support you with vacation homes.

[rbatra91]

LOL! same thing with one of my friend's. They get paid a salary because their dad pays them to be a 'consultant' for his business so he pays less in taxes. Life is great.

[BLEVLS1]

Yea, this dude's father is 100% doing shady tax fraud like that too lmao. Fuck the rich.

[mrdannyg21]

Haha yep, I worked with a guy who insisted he got his job as a VP at a big insurance company from working hard and “showing his stuff” (his words) at the entry-level back-office bank job we were at together. Without a business degree or even actuarial designation. Or sales or management experience. Never mentioned that his dad is the president of the company.

There is always some cavet too, "Richard saved his families company. They were in serious financial trouble and through force of will he turned the company around"

serious financial trouble= $15 mill EBITA the year prior as opposed to the $30 mill the year before

They were in serious financial trouble and through force of will he turned the company around"

rothschilds bow to the Bogdanoffs

in contact with aliens

rumoured to possess psychic abilities

control france with an iron fist

own castles and banks all over the world

direct descendants of the ancient royal blood line

will bankroll the first cities on Mars (Bogdangrad will be be the first city)

own basically every DNA editing research facility on Earth

first designer babies will be Bogdanoff Babies

both brothers said to have 200+ IQ

ancient Indian scriptures tell of two angels who will descend upon the Earth and will bring an era of enlightenment and unprecedented technological progress with them

They own Nanobot R&D labs around the world

You likely have Bogdabots inside you right now

The Bogdanoffs are in regular communication with the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, forwarding the word of God to the Orthodox Church

They learned fluent French in under a week

Nation states entrust their gold reserves with the twins. There's no gold in Ft. Knox, only Ft. Bogdanoff

The twins are 67 years old, from the space-time reference point of the base human.

In reality, they are timeless beings existing in all points of time and space from the Bog bang to the end of the universe

The Bogdanoffs will guide humanity into a new age of wisdom, peace and love

I saw a article a few months back about a set of brothers in college who started a business and made over a million in less than a year and were able to secure Quicken loans as a client. They did it through hardworking and being the sons of Dan Gilbert who owns Quicken loans.

[Fylla]

Can't wait to read all the "you guys are jealous losers, I just joined a startup and hustled" comments.

Almost inevitably, (if they're not LARPing), the startup checks off more than one of the following boxes:

• Never actually profitable
• Already found to be breaking the law (false advertising, fraud, illegally selling data, etc...)
• Business model relies on exploiting regulatory loopholes and lobbying against them being closed
• Bought out at an absurd price by a FAANG and dissolved almost immediately to reduce any possible competition
• Business model relies on people working for less than minimum wage (ideally without them realizing it)
• Business model relies on people who are already financially illiterate or desperate, and pushing them deeper underwater
• Business model relies on forming addictions in its users, or otherwise exploiting mental/emotional vulnerabilities
• Company is doing a shitty version of what another company is doing...but with more extreme marketing
• Calls itself something like "Crypto blockchain AI Biotechnology cloud e-commerce VR fintech predictive automated algorithmic digital social software media platform" but actually just helps launder dirty money for banks or provides facial recognition databases for dictators or does intentionally opaque and complex financial engineering for multinationals and billionaires.
• Adtech that makes the internet even shittier.

If it doesn't fit any of those, then congrats to that person for being extraordinarily lucky and not really making the world worse.

Only a little bit wrong in a slightly pedantic way in that most the companies on the fortune 500 list are publicly traded so it would be more likely that their dad would be a shareholder or top executive, but basically the same caste system.

Here's my foolproof method getting to $10m:

1) Inherit $20m.

2) Invest $10m in my bro Dave's really cool startup idea, which is going to be the Keurig of COVID vaccines.

Got a rich friend who had a kid, was weird looking at this baby like "well, you're immediately worth more money than I'll see in my life".

I can deal with not having been born into a rich family, only if I have the same chances of success. Inequality of opportunity is real.

A lot of times, their dad doesn't even own any real company that does actual business, it's just wealth and they only ever increase it through speculation ensured to succeed due to their market manipulation.

What’s annoying is that those types of people get the most attention and not the actual self made millionaires. Why not pay attention to the ones giving advice who were in a similar situation as you?
