One guy I admire a lot is this guy ( http://www.forbes.com/2009/04/03/ban...reet-beal.html) who didn't finish college, but has accomplished a LOT. |
If that's truly what you want, then start building social capital, and remember the 5 laws:
#1 – Law of Value.
Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment.
#2 – Law of Compensation.
Your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.
#3 – Law of Influence.
Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people's interests first.
#4 – Law of Authenticity.
The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself.
#5 – Law of Receptivity.
The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving.
