Anyone else read on th we path of the ultra successful, look in the mirror, and truly feel you had the aptitude to do the same?
Makes me question my drive. I suppose it's that superstar trait I lack...

He never took the chance to invent it and now has to work for the rest of his life.

Honestly, if you had the aptitude, you wouldn't be wasting your time posting here. You may have the ability and drive to be a multi millionaire but being a billionaire is a whole magnitude different.
Self made Billionaires are larger than life types who have found a way to make life more efficient for everyone.

Everyone has great ideas.
Very very few actually go through with them. That's really the difference in most people.

Either that or they are really great at basketball or created a really addictive game.
The higher up on the wealth scale you get, the more "timing" probably plays a role.

There's a reason you aren't a billionaire. Nothing you could change about your past would make you one now

You just have to be able to visualize it and use the law of attraction but that is easier said than done. If you can really do it though that shite works, I seent it!

I'd be fine with just 2-3 million

So you are saying if someone could go back and change whatever they wanted in regards to their past decisions there is no way they could be a billionaire now? Ya right!

Biff Tannen sure as hell proved you could.

Correct. Don't forget that other things would change because of the change that he made. IMHO, if he was meant to be a billionaire right now, he would be. He wasn't, so he isn't. Simple as that

Or course if he was meant to be one he would be but the power to change the past is powerful

Even if you knew how popular Facebook is and how rich Zuckerberg is, if you went back 12 years wth the idea, no one would give you the time of day. You say "hey guys I have this idea! Everyone gets their own page, and they can update it and put their interests and pictures on it!" And they'll say, yeah it's called MySpace. What are you gonna do, try to write the code for Facebook? You wouldn't stand a chance against Zuckerberg at Harvard.

There is one big word missing from this post, "LUCK". Everyone of these guy's history is written with a lot more brilliant decisions that actually came with with lady luck shining on them. For goodness sake, look at Zuckerberg. The idea wasn't his or original. Just right place, right time.

Almost every self-made millionaire/billionaire story has some right place/right time incident to it, often times several incidents.

You call it luck, they call it taking a risk. Saying a guy who built a multinational corporation was able to do so because of luck is very short sighted, but you can believe that if it makes you feel better.

Some people (visionaries) see in three dimensions. Most of us see in two. We get hunt up on basic things those people can easily see. We can't see over the top of the edges of the maze, they are gazing down upon it.
