Six Years

Think back to where you were 6 years ago.

What did you look like,

Who were your friends,

What were your goals, 

Genuinely think about everything you were back then and ask yourself if you are happy with the progress you've made.

Are you proud of how these past 6 years were spent?

How many poles up the social ladder did you climb?

Because six years is really all you have now.

Six years until social mobility calcifies into hard rock.

Six years until the chaotic lava cools into orderly stone.

You can move now, you can move up or down the social ladder quite freely.

Enough right moves and you can go from a peasant to a king.

Peon to an elite.

Some wrong moves during these times have even seen elites fall from grace. 

Society is malleable.

We can move now.

The chaos and the energy of the past few years has been a blessing for every ambitious man on this earth,

Chaos is opportunity.

I used chaos to escape, the madness of the past few years, the internet era, the unlimited money printing.

I want you to understand I am from the lowest social class, the mixed-race kid who grew up in government housing to a single mother.

Now I am the Top G.

Most famous man alive, BILLIONAIRE.

I understand that even with my brilliance, if I was born 30 years ago, I'd have been trapped.

I would have moved up a few social poles, 

But not to BILLIONAIRE.

I understand as well that if I was born 30 years later, I'd have been trapped.

I would have moved up a few social poles from where my father would have started me off.

You are the decider where you will start your sons and I do not expect them to be able to move very far from that starting point.

We are in a beautiful time of chaos and change,

Entire industries are being disrupted by key emerging technologies.

The most interesting and most exciting time to be alive.

I give it 6 years until The Matrix has fully repaired itself.

6 years.

By 2030, I do not expect peon to billionaire to still be possible as it is now.

It has already gotten harder than it was six years ago.

The lava is cooling now.

I am warning you that pure work ethic combined with some direction may work today.

25-year-olds going from brokie to multi-millionaire is possible TODAY.

But it is getting harder and harder now.

You have six years before it gets impossible.

Act accordingly.

It is not only your place in life that you are deciding.

Stop wasting time.
