what’s standing in the way of you Becoming a

Billionaire?

we Live in a cuLture where peopLe “wait for permission. permission to do what they Love. permission to Let

their ideas and vision have a pLace in the worLd.

they wait for someone to manage them and their dreams instead of taking responsiBiLity for their own

Lives. they compLain instead of soLve and wait for a List of tasks they can check off and say ‘done’.”*

education isn’t Bad, But too many peopLe use it as an excuse. the previous 11 Quotes are from peopLe who

chose to Be different. they didn’t wait for permission, they went out and made their own fortune.

WHat Will you do?
