I saw a profile of a local guy who described himself as a “self-made millionaire”.
Whilst I understand the term, that can’t be literally true.
In the same way a beautiful car doesn’t just make “itself”, everyone of us is the product of every experience and every conversation with every person we’ve ever been exposed to.
- Your parents’ genes and nurturing
- You school-chums and their crazy ways
- Your first heartbreak – and the next ones…
- Colleagues, mentors and teachers
- The author of every book you ever read
Pretty much the only way to get your life to a new place is to find people who are already in that place and rub shoulders with them, long and hard.
With their hard work, inspiration and guidance, you’ll be self-made before you know it.
