Having worked in a large corporation for 9 years, I can confirm that this is absolutely true. I observed a direct correlation between climbing the corporate ladder and investing time in social connections outside of work. When my schedule became busier, preventing me from participating in their after-work social events, I noticed a shift in how I was perceived. Despite this, I decided to venture out on my own, and today I am running my own small business. It might be modest in size, but it's entirely mine.

I don't think it's about being dumb specifically. I think it's more about personality and risk tolerance. Starting your own business is far riskier than having a safe salaried job that pays you every month for pressing the same buttons every day. Someone who is risk-averse, regardless of their intelligence, will most likely not even try that. And also, someone who doesn't get discouraged easily, someone hard working who is very determined to get their ideas to fruition, someone who can network with others, someone with charisma, someone who can persuade people to buy their products or services and/or invest in their idea... that's the person that will succeed in starting a business.

Interesting viewpoint. I have noticed when wealthy public figures are interviewed, some are not particularly articulate, even struggle to string a coherent sentence together. Yet they have the financial acumen to build fortunes. They are immune to failure and don't ponder over it just rinse and repeat until something works. Hard work manipulation and a thick skin seem to be the attributes required.

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZbin channel 10 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,868 subs and > 2k hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

It's not a sin to be rich. In fact, God blessed Solomon with great wealth and wisdom because he was impressed by his request for only wisdom to lead his people. What makes it a sin is what you do with your money.

[@johnjonathan4636]

Bezos, Musk, Gates, Zuckerberg, Page, Brin, Bloomberg, etc. were good students … it’s not about being A or C student. Becoming rich is about entrepreneurial mindset, exposure to success, discipline, etc. Anybody can become successful. Some A students stop learning after school and don’t necessarily aim at billionaire status. So it just depends.

Like someone in the comments elaborated too, being at the right place at the right time and some luck throughout life is helpful.

[@fancyIOP]

The problem is “smart people” is that they don’t take risks as much as “dumb people” do. Smart people are too cautious and yes they live under their educational achievements while the dumb ones know they have to succeed since education was never their strongest point.

[@muhammadspeaksnews]

Honestly dumb/smart it's all about how lucky you get. A lot of smart people end up on the wrong side of risk while dumb people end up on the right side and vice versa. If you're willing to play the game remember life is just a huge game of dominoes where you don't control the next falling piece that leads to ...????

There are multiple types of intelligence & intellectual intelligence is just one of them. Unfortunately being book smart is the least monetizable.

Honesty and good education level are not good reasons to make you rich, actually they are good reasons to have an average or even less than average income. This is the reason why stupid people makes money , but NOT any type of stupid people .

[@rainbowoncrack8948]

Why not make a new system

[@manasuniyal2897]

Just don't opt out off a system by watching a 10 minutes youtube video. Smart people actually succeed . Those who don't go to schools or universities generally do not end up in good positions. Only a few do who have unique talent. This video does not tell about how much percentage of non schoolers/university students succeed in life. As far as RICH MILLIONARES/BILLIONARES are considered sure they were not geniuses but at the same time they were far above average in terms of intelligence and decision making. Ex- MUSK -He did manage to built SpaceX , Paypal, Bought Tesla from being bankcrupt , solar city ...etc . Any regular guy would not have been able to do that. Sure his parents were rich , but so were parents of many in 90s in USA. There are many names and they had all the advantages on their sides to succeed but the bottom liine is INTELLIGENCE and ACADEMIA is one of those advantages .

"Why Dumb People Make More Money Than You?" Easy. They have a rich family that gives them positions via nepotism. It happens. Oh well. Just because they had cheatcodes doesn't mean you can't be great.

There are still people who weren’t raised rich that end up millionaires. And there is both wrong with being a nepo baby. If anyone becomes a parent their goal should be to have nepo babies.

It’s very simple person who think this way always win individually but at the same time this person sets society collapse . And we can see it on bigger scale in many different parts of modern society. We can’t resolve any problem ( no matter which direction check ) .
