Is it possible to succeed within capitalism ?

[Majed]

Capitalism place a huge burden on people, because it makes survival insecure. And if you're starting down the pyramid not up, one can ask the question of whether is it possible to ever succeed within such a system.

You are more likely to succeed now than ever before in human history. If you live in a 1st world country, you have so many opportunities to develop yourself. And your more survival secure than ever before if anything as well. So much that you are probably spoiled. 

So just get to work.

How many cold calls have you done this week? How many lead outreaches? 

Be careful becoming a philosopher vs becoming an effective human being.

It's one of the best times in capitalism's history.

A 12 year old in Bangladesh that has internet access could become a trillionaire by building AI businesses over the next 20 years. No reason you can't also. 

I'm not saying it's easy, I'm still broke at the moment. Gaining a lot of career capital each month though. The psychology necessary for business success is not to be underestimated. Mental blocks, limiting beliefs and victim mindset will crush your success much more than the unfairness of capitalism ever will.
