If you are discplined, you will hit wealth.
The world is full of distractions, that is one of the problems.
Is like you don't understand the basic of this argument, majority of broke people are disciplined too, just that they don't have enough that will cater for their basic needs and still have little left for investment that will result to wealth creation.

It would've been better if we say broke people might not have planned their lives well at some points, lazy or lacks will to succeed, hence the reason they are not successful. But realistically, there should never be a comparism between a wealthy man and poverty striking man in terms of wealth creation, investment opportunity and risk management. The first instinct of every human is survival, until poor people pass this stage, there is no way they can build a sustainable wealth for the future.

I will say it again, it takes a special kind of grace or opportunity for a poor man who is struggling to survive to build a sustainable wealth.

There is nothing like poverty mindset because poverty precedence "poverty mindset" as a result of limitations. When you are comfortable withiout necessarily have to worry about basic needs, that is when you realise how confidence you are in taking a bold step towards success. Poverty create fear and limitations, you don't expect someone in abject poverty to willingly risk his/her last 100k on a mission is not 100% guarantee of making a return. Whereas someone with a backup fund to take care of his/her basic needs aside the said 100k will more likely take the same risk the first man was afraid to take. If the second man eventually succeed, you will blame the first man for not taking the risk withiout taking into consideration how the second man wouldn't have done so too if not for his/her backup fund.

Some years back, there was this baba carpenter in my area we all thought is brainless and can't think of how to succeed in life(because of the way he rejoice with undervalued job he is doing for people). One day, a man that just arrive from the UK called this man for simple work in his compound, he pity the man's condition and eventually gave him some money. That was what changed the man life for good till today. Baba went straight to the Bush and started buying timbers and slice them into plank. Glory be to God, he is the owner of 3 good big engines at sawmills today. He has built 2 houses, and all his children are well educated. Withiout this timely intervention from UK man, this man might have remain in poverty till the rest of his life. No motivational speaker will tell you how or where he/she see money to start their businesses, all they will tell you is to start with #100 and become a billionaire. Some will even sey they start with nothing , lolz.

With my years experience on earth, the only set of people I blame for their condition are those that has money but don't know how to manage it, and those that lacks 'will' to success in life( e.g, lazy people or unserious people). You have no business condemning people who are struggling to meet up with their basic needs.

Motivational speakers are mostly opportunists, you have to be more experienced and wise to realise how unrealistic some of their points are.
I agree with you!

I still maintain that long-term is still your best bet. Stocks fluctuate but still rise in the long term.
