..from making big money is....their fear of losing a little cash.

Just a little rant.. pay no attention.

One of the things ive been struggling with during my life as an self-acclaimed entrepreneur
is why i usually make a lot of money while im surrounded by people that work
harder, are smarter, have more knowledge but seem to struggle every day for amounts i consider pocket change.

I had 2 theories: A. perhaps i AM smarter and work harder and have more knowlegde than them. or
B. im just fucking lucky every fucking time.

But A.. its quite obvious im an idiot and B. i cant have consistent luck for years. I just had this brainwave and i tihnk i finally figured out what
the secret engine behind my (once again self acclaimed) succes is : risk.

Im not affraid to take risks because i dont give a shit about money. No: i give shit about money but its just numbers to my little brain and i _cannot_ feel/see/understand the underlying value of it so i just play numbers. And money happens for me while others hesitate because they see every dollar as a dollar and spend it as such. For every fucking little genius idea they have
they think and think and calculate and get swamped in details only to have
the project fail after a certain period where i just do what has to be done
and put money on it to make it happen. And if it fails.. next.. but funny thing is it usually doesnt fail because of the approach.

In other words: if you have it all but cant get it running... youre not thinking big enough and take too little riskss. Its that simple.
