7 Money Mistakes That Prevent Smart People Getting Rich

7 Money Mistakes That Prevent Smart People Getting Rich

If you spend an hour on Twitter or Instagram, you almost believe that everyone can get rich quickly.


“Start an AI company or write content online. You’ll make $500K a month, just like me!”


The idea that success can be duplicated is one of the oldest fallacies in business and money. Just because a certain blueprint worked for Person A, it doesn’t mean it works for Person B.


This is also why a lot of smart people are not wealthy. Over the past two years, I’ve been getting emails every week from disillusioned writers.


They say they fell for the dream that these social media prophets talk about everywhere. They realize success is not only about skill, it’s also a matter of talent and luck.


And the interesting thing is that all these people are smart. After all, it sounds so logical. If someone else did it, you can do it too, right?


Well, not with everything. More on that in my other new article.
