Work ethic beats natural talent. You may be smart but what good is that if you don’t use it?

Try to find something that uses your natural talent. Work ethic combined with natural talent is where it’s at

Ultimately you probably wanna do something that gives you a sense of purpose.

First, stop putting your(real or not) IQ out there like that. IQ means jack shit and there's been no proven way to actually get a number for intelligence. It makes you look like a major douchebag.

Second, fuck University FOR RIGHT NOW. Go learn a trade. Plumbing, mechanic, electrician, welder, iron worker, ect. You'll never be out of work, you'll get paid good fucking money, and you won't have any debt.

From there, learn how to be financially smart and THEN go back to university so you can get a degree to move up in your trade company. Pay for this out of pocket and go sit behind a desk for the rest of your career making over $100K.

Iq doesn’t matter. Plenty of really smart people don’t make money. Going back to university doesn’t guarantee anything. You need skills, a good mindset, and ambition. School doesn’t teach that

The two biggest indicators of success - IQ and conscientiousness.

You need some rat cunning too. Look at academics - they basically are angry because they are smarter than most but don't know how to make money..

Sales is a great way to move up in a company fast, but you need to adapt so you can move into management. Accounting is one way to go - understanding business and money. Or pure management.

Its really what you think youd like.

You have a sales background, so if you did something in IT it could be a good combination.

I look at professionals. Guys who make a great hourly rate. A lot can set up their own companies, employ others and clip the ticket on their hours too.

Or go into trades. Good money. You can scale however you want - maybe just you and an apprentice. Or in 10 years you have four plumbers working for you etc

Just do something. You're only 26. You have tons of time.

Lastly - sales is a trade too. there is always work for good sales people.

Read Rich dad poor dad book

Then set a goal.

I wanted to retire and travel @30

Didnt work out complete. But you can set a different goal.

Learn to differenciate between passive income generating assets and assets who cost you money.

Never go for the second (cars, trophy wifes, yachts and such) if your passive income is less than you need to pay such.

Le'me tell you a thing

You earn 50 bucks a hour in automation (sample). After tax this is 35 arround.

Now you need your multistory painted.

You pay 75 bucks an hour for the painters making you work two hours for one of theirs.

If you learn most building professions you paint the multistory yourself and save 20k.

20k NET

Nobody can tax you on that.

If you needed 100hrs you have a 200 net a hour after tax working on your passive income every day.
