The difference between $100,000 a day vs $100,000 a year.
It is simpler than you think.

People who make six figures a day are willing to:

1. Look stupid no matter what anyone else thinks.
2. Take risks that not many are willing to take.
3. Outreach and ask an unlimited amount of people to get what they want.

I'm convinced that the first principle of building wealth is disregarding the opinions of others who don't have "it" but telling you that you're doing it wrong. The difference is simple, not easy.

In his book, How the Mighty Fall, author Jim Collins talks about how titanic-size organisations get destroyed by their hubris.

He says that all declining organisations suffer from five stages:

1. Hubris.
2. The undisciplined Pursuit of More.
3. The Denial of the Risk (impending doom).
4. a frantic Grasp for salvation.
5. finally: Irrelevance & Death.

The first & most important remedy for any organisation that is declining is this, "face the brutal facts."

Don't blame others.
Don't blame customers (voters).

My thoughts on the South African elections.
