Are You A Twenty Percenter?

I posted the comments below as a response to someone Else's comment on Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad Forum" earlier tonight. His comment had something to do with people not getting it, not understanding the power of free market enterprise and the simple truth that true wealth will never be attained by working for someone else. It inspired me to write what I did below and I figured I ought to share it with my readers, here. Perhaps it will speak to you as it did to me.

There are those people in the world who are task oriented, job oriented. Go to school, learn a trade, get a job, buy a house, cars, stuff and then work hard to pay for it all. This is what we are taught from a very young age and not just by our parents. No, society teaches us this as well. Now, there is nothing wrong with learning an honorable and honest trade and going to work. Truthfully, that is how most people are "wired," anyway. Those of us who aspire to a different way of life, a life of self determination, self employment and the creation of true wealth, are in the minority! Most people do not believe it possible but we do. It's not their fault, by the way. As I said, that's how they are "wired."

The reality is that the 80/20 rule actually does exist as some sort of spiritual and universal law. Eighty percent of the work in this world is done by twenty percent of the people. The other eighty percent only do twenty percent of the work, achieve 20 percent of the success and they earn an even a smaller percentage of the money. Those eighty percenters are blind to the possibilities of true wealth creation. They are the ones who sit and wonder why the rich are rich and complain about how unfair it is.

It's those twenty percenters that are wired in such a way as to be able to think and grow rich. They are the ones who will aspire to more and will do what it takes to realize their dream. They are the ones who will embrace the power of free market enterprise. They are the ones who become the movers and shakers in life. They are the risk takers, the entrepreneurs. They are the ones who would rather own their own home business than work for someone else. They are the ones who get it! So, my question to you is this. Do you get it? I certainly do!
