10 Figs – Get More Realistic Thinking
Whether you want 10 figs or to win a battle of another kind, you have to be realistic.
You have to go get customers, employees, volunteers and voters. They will not just line up for you.
Bad advice is peddled everywhere. Free, self-serving advice.
Winning on a major scale is HARD.
You probably have to pay for advice and information. Entrepreneurs and consultants will look to the Department of Labor and other government sites for information, initially.
You’re going to have to read or consult sources you don’t agree with. You’re going to have to talk to people one or two standard deviations of IQ higher than you.
You may have to examine trends and forecasts by investment or academic journals and newsletters. You will encounter time traps, bad actors and bro marketers that want your cash. These guys are online and irl.
Any exemptions someone may think they have for escaping hard work, gatekeepers, etc. are out the window when you start soliciting cooperation.
And…LOL… artificial intelligence fails all the time.
Plus…LOL…there are very bad consultants and promoters on Fiverr and elsewhere online.
Talk to entrepreneurs and look at the web sites of competitors in your niche. Search Google for “I hate…” and other downsides of the niche and the business model you might use.
A small home spun business that generates 10 figs is VERY rare.
Tire kickers, tricksters and well-credentialled thieves are common, in business and politics. There are clues for what kind of idiot you’re dealing with. Situational awareness of various set-ups is lacking. Ignorant normies will ignore useful briefings on threats.
Some people will treat everyone the same, ignoring advice. Then, they get burned and hurt. Why? Either they’re a countrified normie who wants to be a ramrod or argue untenable arguments will fail miserably, most of the time.
Look at my two main sources: The BowTiedBull and Judge Dread. Normies (read: low IQ) avoid these guys. I don’t know what can be done other than cutting your losses.
Laziness and lazy thinking isn’t held in high regard by The Bible or entrepreneurs with 10 figs or even professional athletes, training managers and etc.
Like I said, there’s a lot of bad, self-serving advice out there. There are college students who are anti-intellectual. Parents and teachers blame each other for bad kids. Pastor manipulates parents, often in a poor way.
Soft skills can help. But I knew too many young employees who believe soft skills are the key to seven and ten figures. Sorry, but they’re not.
See our Bookstore for situational awareness and frequently recommended reading. Its a minimum. You have to still get raw data and results.
