You need three things to be successful in my opinion in your work.
1) Drive. Nothing else matters if you don't have this. If you're content making 40-80k a year, or even content just making 120k a year, you'll never become truly wealthy. You need to show up to work or do whatever it is you do each day with the desire to become the best person at it, and to figure out your next five steps in the future. Always be thinking about your next promotion, next opportunity, etc. Basically do the opposite of 99% of the population of Red99 who is content being cucked for officers to get loot for their alts. Many people I meet on a daily basis are more than content clocking in and out and paying their bills. These people will never become truly wealthy.
2) Hard Work. Pretty self explanatory, but unless you're about to bet it all on red, or created EQ Browser, you're going to have to put in a shit ton of work on a daily basis if you want to become truly successful. You aren't going to amount to shit if your work schedule is 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week.
3. Master your craft. I am a strong believer in the 10,000 hour rule for becoming an expert at whatever it is you do [with the exception of EQ PvP where this rule didn't work for me]. If you want to be the best and command the most money, you need to know your industry better than anyone else. You need to live and breathe it day in and day out. You have to be willing to learn about it on the weekends, after work hours, etc.
I applied to two positions this morning to try to build out further my portfolio of companies I provide back end client services for. Do I need the money to pay my bills? No. But I'm always looking to grow, expand, hire more people, and figure out how I'm going to turn last years 1.4 Million into this years 2.8. I don't want to just be a millionaire I want to be a multi-millionaire, or a billionaire. Will I end up actually becoming a billionaire? Prolly not . But the drive to want to keep looking for the opportunities to grow and become more successful will only do me well.
Also being a sociopath helps.
Whether he makes that much or not, which I don't really doubt, or care about to be honest. Each man is his own man. That shit right there ^ is winning strategies for any business or job a person could have if they are wanting to move up.
