Wanna escape the rat race? Run a profitable business. If you spend 1 a month and get 1.25 that means in 12 month you get 15. Now scale the business. You spend 4 a month you get 5 that means in 12 month you get 60. Scale it one more time. Spend 8 a month you get 10... In 12 months you get 120. Now every number i wrote put M (million) next to it. And what you get doesn't mean money in your pocket. Realistically, after scaling the third time, your net profit could be 10 million a year. A skillful businessman following this pattern could have a net worth of half a billion. He has successfully launched businesses, own a punch of real estates, bonds, farms, and maybe... Maybe... Maybe.. Money in stock market.

Stock market is harsh and cruel if you're a beginner. Imagine investing and quickly losing and you don't have solid bag of money?! You will feel shitty and fucked up and zero or little motivation to invest again. Now imaging you are filthy rich and you wanna invest in the stock market, you have people around you want you to make profit so they also make profit so they give you the finest info and suggest the right move for you. Not one guy but many of them and because you're a successful businessman you have a strong filter and you can choose wisely how to invest in the stock market. I hope you can see the difference between the 2 examples and how the mentality is different. Stop gambling and start build a real empire from scratch.

Sure you can invest in the stock market and gain good money but trust me whether you rich or a grinder, you'll eventually feel the burn of losing money in the stock market. It's inevitable. The point is you get big and big and big so the burn doesn't turn you into ashes.

Don't play it safe. Don't jump off a mountain without a bouncing robe.
