This is the personal development forum

That's why it was worth pointing out to what seemed to me as a the real unspoken agenda. Although it was just an intuitive feeling. It might have been wrong. The question is still interesting to reflect on imo. 

But anyhow, good luck on your journey, I hope your capabilities find a positive influence on the world 🙏

These are some more questions:

1. Have you taken the life purpose course? Would you call your business a life purpose. 

2. Are you fulfilled now that your rich?

3. Is there any business guru/material you recommend?

4. How do you deal with jealousy from other people? I know I will become financially free, I am scared of how my friends might take if I become rich and they don't, have you had any experiences around that?

5. Do you live a balanced life? Or do you believe is seasons? (Example, being season of 3 years for work, season of dating after)

6. Is networking important? How important? 

7. What is some of the most overlooked advice in your opinion?

8. What is the most corrupt part of your job if you were to be completely honest?

 

I know I asked a bunch, if you answered something elsewhere or don't want to no need to answer. I'd appreciate a lot if you can answer the bold text questions. Thanks!!

Very much so. Passed on opportunities to stay aligned with my values. Those are for a separate thread.

Then it’s most rewarding

I have psychotic levels of ambition, so I have never had a question in my mind it would happen. Family situation simply added fire.

Which MBTI type are you? Let me see if I guessed right haha

[Basman]

Have you moved country or are you planning to do so? If so, are you bringing your family with you.

[Magnanimous]

@Ero so proud of you man!

You're an inspiration to all the young people in the world who wanna get rich! (I'm 18 rn) We're all so fucking proud of you and we're wishing you the best in the years to come!

 

Newbie question, but how much skill in your field should you learn before entering business?

[Natasha Tori Maru]

How important would you say your networking and connections made through Harvard essential to your success? If any.

And general social skills and connections?

[hyruga]

How did you earn your million dollars? You sold your company?

[Artsy]

Can you identify the core principles behind your success? 

For example the principles for becoming fluent in a Language might be...

~Move to that country for a year 

~Speak no English

What do you think they would be for your financial success?

[Pav]

Congrats mate.

What are you going to do now that you've got your financial life handled? How will you spend the rest of your life?

Leo said somewhere that statistics work when you look out at the broader population, but you are not a statistic. Take ownership and accountability of your situation, no matter how bad.

What's your IQ?

1. I have not. My business is an intermediate step towards my LP.

2. I was fulfilled before I was rich, but I am barely even getting started.

3. Business gurus are very scammy ime. If there is a course about it then you are too late.

4. When you take on this journey of self-actualization, you will lose a lot of people to jealousy and insecurity. It’s part of the process.

5. I don’t believe in a balanced life, but in a healthy one. I work long hours and there’s no way around it. Seasons are necessary, especially when it comes to women. About year and a half was full on celibacy. Last month I been catching up with sex and intimacy.

6. Not just important, but a bedrock of real business.

7. Take more risk. Especially if you are young, you  are already broke. You might as well swing for the fucking fences.

8. AI is very extractive in terms of data and ownership. There really is no intellectual property. I am actively trying to fight against that.

I moved to the US, check earlier post. The answer to the second question is a little more complicated.

Thank you for the words. Being 18 on this forum is already miles ahead the masses. You got this shit.

You should aim to be the best at what you do, otherwise why would people pay you.

My stake in the company is worth about 4.2M and I generated more that 1.25M in cash flow.

Core principle - curiosity, open mind and agency/accountability.

I need to accumulate a significant amount of resources for my LP, so I am nowhere close to done. I want to build the future - nuclear fusion, superconductors, quantum computing, UFOs.

I will answer your question for the sake of transparency but I genuinely believe IQ is much less of a signal above a certain level .

I have never done an official/certified test but my score on a few of the sample Mensa ones is about 147

Get high enough and you stop seeing your own IQ as a limitation and you care about it less.

That's pretty high yeah.

There is like one dude on the forum who scored over 150 on some non-official test in an older forum thread, and you can notice.
