The problem with the world always has been, is, and always will be your own self-limiting thought process. The average person asks him or herself, can I become wealthy, decides no, then closes that mental door. The correct approach is to ask yourself, how can I become wealthy? This creates an open and continuous thought process, which if left open, can lead you to find a path to wealth. Ask yourself this question, then leave that mental door open.
One of the younger men I know will undoubtedly be very wealthy someday. And he didn't go to college or get a job - he created a job - a mowing/landscaping/pest control/ gardening/snow removal company. If it involves a house, he does it. He started his company with one lawn mower. He has multiple employees now. His work ethic is stunning. If you need snow removal on a Sunday or at 2am, he is there. I have used all of his services at one time or another.
Here is a useful exercise: pretend that you are never allowed to get a job - you have to create a job or starve. Walk around with an open mind looking at what surrounds you? What opportunities exist? Mowing? Car detailing? House Sitting? Pet Sitting? Providing child care or elder care? House flipping? Buying and selling used cars? Selling merchandise online? Stock trading? Or maybe a combination of some or all of these things. The barriers to entry for these opportunities are very low, some of them would cost almost nothing to start, and there is much demand, especially if you combine several of them. These are easy and cheap to start, except maybe house flipping. Even stock trading can be started with $500.
