How to use TRP to grow “rich”?

PrepositionalChi · 2018-02-01T14:02:35+00:00

I’m feeling like school is useless and everytime I’m studying math or whatever it is I ask myself “do I really need this shit to become somebody?

Yes you certainly do. Learning math and computer science makes your brain more analytical, which means you will make better decisions throughout life.

Making good decisions is the most important thing in life, so I'd say it's pretty damn important.

If you want a TRP way to make some money and not live your life like a corporate slave read "The 4-hour workweek". It won't give you a direct way to make money. It rather gives you ideas and the mindset you need to be successful.

I found school to be complete bullshit and time wasting. I could teach myself anything in school in 1/10th of the time it took for class. School isn't for learning. It is designed to make you an obedient worker. TRP is seeing everything fro what it truly is. School is bullshit and is not designed to make you successful.

If you have the intelligence I think coding can be a good way to make some money and something real you can learn. I know little about coding though. Business and engineering are good for college but they mostly set you up to be corporate slave rather than living a life of freedom.

Read "Rich Dad Poor Dad", learn about blockchain, read books by successful entrepreneurs, learn how to make money and (legally) hustle. What money making opportunities can you see around you right now? Can you spot demand and opportunities? Become a master of money, make a habit of putting a little bit aside and make it grow, avoid (bad) debt. How do big investors and entrepreneurs make decisions? How do you calculate risk vs payoff? Are you creative? Can you put a team of people together and steer the ship to create value that others will pay for?

“do I really need this shit to become somebody?”

You are somebody. What you want is to become somebody that matters. Ask yourself; who do you want to matter to? Your family? Your friends? Your community? THE ONLY PERSON THAT MATTERS IS YOURSELF.

You want to try and take over the world? Do it. You want be the best goddamn Refuse Reclamation Technician on the face of the planet? Do it. Growing "rich" means affecting and influencing others but won't guarantee you become "some special snowflake" that changes the world. How do you BECOME SOMEONE OF VALUE instead of just another social media influencer?

My advice is this; to go beyond; to strive further than being just one of the masses; you need just two things;

THE COURAGE TO ACT AND THE KNOWLEDGE TO SUCCEED.

TRP is here to open your eyes. It is not here to give you a purpose or help you find meaning in life. For that, there are places like r/RPChristians.

What you're really struggling with is the difference between learning and applying. Consider ...

Adam and Bob are walking down the street having a friendly conversation. Adam tells Bob, I have something to show you, follow men. So, the two men round a corner and cross a few blocks before coming to a lot. Bob's jaw drops. Before him is the most impressive mountain of bricks he had ever seen. "I've never seen so many bricks," Bob tells Adam. Adam smirks and says, "I know, right?" The two marvel for a moment before Adam asks Bob, "So, do you have any bricks?" Bob motions for Adam to follow along.

The two men walk a few blocks down the street to another lot, where Bob lived. Adam runs a lap around the house but doesn't see Bob's pile. "Where is it?" Adam asks. "Where's your pile of bricks?" Bob shrugged, "Well, I don't have a pile of bricks. But my house is made out of bricks."

Are you accumulating a pile or are you building a house? What are you doing with all these bricks you're amassing for yourself from all this reading?

TRP is defined as a series of sexual strategy and explainations on male/female intergender dynamics. If there was a manual on how to get rich, everyone would be rich. It is not about get X education and get rich, or do A B and C and get rich. Education, advice and self help are only tools. The rest is up to you. TRP is not about holding your hand

VirginPlaya · 2018-02-01T14:58:51+00:00

There's a saying: "Leaders are readers". So yeah reading is good habit to have.

For me it always seems that after reading one book (even though while reading it it seems mind blowing) there's no much difference. Nothing really changed. Yet when I think in retrospect in the past 5 years or so, it's mind blowing how much my thinking changed.

Anyways, if I were you I'd just do whatever is required at school and then read as much shit that interests me as I can. I might even give my self a goal of reading 40 books a year or something.

Don't sweat about "becoming something big" or "making an impact" yet. Just keep at learning new stuff that peaks your interest eventually something in your mind will click and you'll know what you want to put all your awake time in.

And don't get bummed out if you try something for a week and all of a sudden lose interest in it. Don't let guilt plague you. It's normal. It's ok. Your interest will peak and go down for various things and activities more times than you think in life. It's part of life though.

minoc_uo · 2018-02-01T16:18:15+00:00

Do your fucking homework.

IVIaskerade · 2018-02-01T16:38:13+00:00

I don’t know if reading this stuff can be considered a real investment

Money comes and goes.

Women come and go.

The only constant is yourself. Investing in yourself means that you're investing in the one thing that's unequivocally yours.

Besides which, once you start getting really deep down the rabbit hole, you begin to change your conception of what it is to be "rich" in the first place.

Saying "I want to be rich" is meaningless. You want to have a lot of money? Why? Do you want to have new experiences, or just own a lot of things? Materialism is one of the first things to be discarded - once you've got enough, you don't need more.

I’d like to study something on my own

TRP gives you an understanding of how the world works, tells you that when you want something you have to go and take it, not letting anything pull you back.

So if you want to grow rich, do something you think will make you rich. Make it your mission.

BTW you can read Think and Grow Rich wich will give you some hindsight on how to achieve your goals.

[deleted] · 2018-02-01T14:12:30+00:00

TRP is a guide to show you the way, but you're the one that's going to have to adopt it and act like you said. There'll never be a guide that step-by-step hand holds you through anything, you have to do that for yourself. Say for example you want to become a musician. You read up on music theory, sound engineering, get a DAW with tons of generators and samples, etc. That shit won't just make the composition for you. You yourself will be the one experimenting, and making creating until you find your sound.

THAN you have to learn how to market yourself, and THAN how to network, and THAN a whole bunch of other stuff. There's a process to it, and it's a continual learning curve. There's no cheat sheets to this shit.

mushroom_overlord · 2018-02-01T20:09:38+00:00

You act like there's a secret cheat code to being one of the most successful men in the world that TRP could figure out but hasn't yet. That your 18 year old ass could get on the fast track to being filthy rich right out of high school.

The cheat code doesn't exist. The closest thing is the laws of power but they only work as guidelines to functioning in dominance heirarchies. And TRP is and always has been sexual strategy first, not the place you can go to find out how to be a CEO.

It takes intelligence and hard work to get rich, plus a bit of luck. Also helps to be more psychopathic so you can take advantage of people when you need to, but in general people are capable of doing this without psychopathy since we are more selfish then we might think.

The key is to work incessantly to become one of the best in the room anywhere you go. People like to think that successful people aren't better than them but they are usually wrong (at least in skillset and work ethic). This is where intelligence is critical, you instantly get a leg up on others when you are better than them at the very base of your intelligence. However, hardworking people will beat you if you decide you are smarter than them anyway and can watch Netflix and cut class while they are out learning and advancing their careers.

So now you know you have to bust your ass, but how do you make your own luck rather than hope to be lucky? Key is to find the field and company that have the best chance to make it big. I can't tell you how to do this as there are no cheat codes, but look for the fields of the future. As far as I can tell those are computer science, biotech, and globalized business but there will always be a luck factor.

Be aware that this focus on building riches or success is another fantasy that has been sold to you. Try to think of it in terms of power, and see money simply as a means to power. Nothing more.

Aspiring for riches aside, I think one of the most important goals anyone can aim for is to develop enough power to not have to throw your life into a job while you save for retirement/freedom. Being in that position will put a lot of crap into perspective, and you might realise you don't actually care about making tonnes of money.

For example.. I quit my job and went back to freelancing and work 10/15 hours a week in Thailand. I can travel to any country I please, or I can settle down somewhere (which is what I'm currently doing). I have plenty of time on my hands to focus on building my own assets, and I can afford to fuck up for the next 10 years and STILL come out on top.

That has given me a high degree of power over my life, and that power is worth more than any amount of money, even if money is my current means to maintain it. It has truly hammered home just how valuable time is.

More money, more problems, man. You don't need nearly as much money as you think you need -- you need more time. Focus on doing whatever you can to stay the fuck out of a job before it robs the best of your 20s, and start building assets -- skills, resources, products, networks, investments.

Though TRP is not an answer to all of life's problems, many of the mindsets that have emerged can be transferred to other aspects of life, especially business: abundance mentality (there is an abundance of opportunity), outcome independence (risk taking), overcoming rejection (selling), being captain of your ship (leadership), following your mission (focus on your purpose and goals). You could even say there is a level of branch swinging involved in business networking. Stoicism is obviously useful for all manner of pursuits.

Original_Dankster · 2018-02-01T15:17:31+00:00

after spending 2 months here reading TRP

Patience. I have been red pilled for about 4 years. I'm mid-40s. I'm rocking in my career only for the last year now, it took time to figure out what to do. I now have three income streams - a promotion at work that took a couple years to set up, a side business (AirBnB properties), and a fun part time job. My day job isn't fun, but I went for the money over enjoyment.

What I can say is this - few people get rich working for somebody else. Entrepreneurship is where it's at. TRP teaches to take calculated risks, and aligns well with entrepreneurship.

The smartest businessman I know is my much younger cousin. He's in his 20s, and lives in the rural prairies here in Canada. He decided to establish a localized monopoly. He asked himself what good or service people in his region needed to hire people from the nearest big city, and then established himself in the region. In his case, it was roofing and siding. Everybody in his rural community needed to go hire contractors from the city about 2 hours away. He didn't give a shit about roofing and siding, but he definitely gives a shit about making money. Now, with a localized monopoly, he can not only undercut the city contractors but he also has a loyal customer base.

Will this advice apply to you? No idea. But my point is, don't choose to do what you love, choose to do what will pay the best, and learn to love it. Or find another outlet for your enjoyment (a hobby, a pet, whatever).

Set goal

Achieve goal aka profit

You've been posting the same fucking shit for a while now.

Make like Nike and Just Do It.

Unlucky_Leader · 2018-02-01T16:46:10+00:00

Want a quick answer to become somebody? Their isn't one. Want to study something, and become somebody. You have bills to pay. What about student loans? You, and I both know that's bullshit. My advice learn a trade, and become somebody in time off. That's a good story

LateralThinker13 · 2018-02-01T17:03:32+00:00

I’m 18 and still in high school and I’m so fuckin determined to become somebody in this world.

Honestly, wait until you have some experience in the world. This stuff will make a lot more sense, and be a lot more useful, once you're in the adult world. High school is one big playground/day care and a poor reflection on adult life.

Take the second dose: Austrian Economics

Austinisfullgohome · 2018-02-01T21:04:05+00:00

I know you’re just a kid but I’m not going to sugarcoat anything. Join the military, get a bunch of medals, fuck foreign chicks in every time zone, and retire comfortably in your 30s. Or teach yourself to code, take a couple of IT courses, and start your own business. Turn your workout hobby into a personal training business or professional bodybuilding and drop panties. Just quit whining and do something besides posting on Reddit. You could be doing literally anything from pushups to learning HTML with the time you’re wasting here.

Metalageddon · 2018-02-01T22:13:24+00:00

Until you're in your upper level college courses, school mostly teaches you how to interact, tolerate bullshit, and most importantly how to use tools to gain the best effect you can.

You'll learn most useful stuff in upper level courses and on the job. I stick by that.

You'll get more out of it if you push yourself, less if you don't. That's on you. Yeah it's kinda shit, but if you can't shovel shit I hope shit never hits your fan.

Drakonlord · 2018-02-02T01:19:58+00:00

The point if school is it teaches you how to learn. To make money you have to generate something of value and encourage people to trade it with you.

OP these people are full of poverty,

look at all the time they have to right
