Often, in the real world, it's not the smart that get ahead but the bold.
You have to be smart. The easy days are over.
I am successful because I have always been a tortoise. I did not come from a rich family. I was not smart in school. I did not finish school. I am not particularly talented. Yet, I am far richer than most people simply because I did not stop.
The world is full of smart, poor people.
One of the most stupid things to do is to pretend you are smart. When you pretend to be smart, you are at the height of stupidity.
A smart entrepreneur knows they cannot run a business on their own. They know that business is a team sport.
Most people are poor not because they are not smart - most people are poor or struggle financially because they're fearful of losing.
