Why is it that time and time again we hear about college dropouts becoming the ceo of a company or we hear about how somebody was a failure in the traditional schooling system and then they become a millionaire why is it that we are seeing that happen time and time again that is what we’re going to be talking about in this video now before i get into that people
Have been asking me what the hell is this timer here underneath my board it has not been there before that is the countdown timer because i’m closing my membership group stock radar in three days and 12 hours it’s going to be closed so that’s the details with that if you guys want to get in to stock radar my weekly stock analysis membership site the link is in the
Description below but let’s go ahead and talk about this more because this is a fascinating topic to me it’s something i think about a lot because i look at all these people running around like crazy you know they’re working and they’re in jobs that they hate and they’re very smart people but they’re somehow not smart enough to figure out that they could be working
For themselves or doing the same thing they’re doing for this person that’s hiring them but doing it for themselves and making a lot of money and there’s five main reasons i think why you oftentimes see the college dropouts being the ceos and the bosses and while you see these straight-a students and the college graduates being the employees the first thing comes
Down to being booked versus street-smart a lot of people that are good in college and good in high school or book smart they understand how things work in an ideal situation they understand that math makes sense on paper and if you look at our perfect scenarios they understand how all that works they understand it when it’s a controlled environment but what they
Don’t understand is that life is not a controlled environment and that’s where you have to be street smart and be able to understand adapt and learn very quickly so there’s a big difference there between being book smart versus street smart and understanding the real world versus the ideal situation because it’s never gonna be like that ideal situation in actual
Practice the second reason ties in with this as well it’s called analysis paralysis and again this is because those who are book smart are usually very detail-oriented and they become obsessive with something and there’s that old saying that goes out there something along the lines of the more you about something the more you realize you don’t know so what happens
Is people learn so much about a particular subject they convinced themselves they know nothing then they’re paralyzed then they’re not doing a damn thing whereas somebody who just learns the basics their street-smart they learn as quickly as possible and then they go alright i’m just going to figure out the rest down the road that is what you need in order to get
Ahead and maybe start your own business you’re gonna see somebody who is book smart being way too detail-oriented to the point where they’re trying to learn everything and a lot of the stuff can only be learned through experience and they’re trying to learn it from a book it’s like trying to learn how to ride a bicycle from a book it doesn’t make any sense at the
End of the day but that is how people think they’re very detail-oriented and they’re trying to learn things all at once that really can’t be learned right now and they convince themselves they don’t know anything and then they don’t do a damn thing that is reason number two reason number three is that people who are successful usually the c and d students are like
That because they understand that perfection sucks in my mind perfection it means something is slow if you’re making the perfect youtube video for in my case if i make the perfect youtube video like maybe i don’t like the fact that i just dropped the f-bomb and i’m gonna get somebody in the comments telling me that it was offensive but you know what i understand
That perfection is useless perfection means this is slow it means i have to take more time doing something and good enough is all i’m looking for good enough is what’s going to make you the money it’s what’s going to get the bills paid good enough will run your business but people out there that are b and a students and at the top of their class they’re trying to
Be perfect they’re trying to achieve perfection and they’re spending way too much time on stuff that really doesn’t matter they’re caring too much about these details that really don’t matter it’s all about how fast you can move in business you know and so they’re caring about details that nobody should care about and it’s the c and d students or the dropouts that
Understand that perfection sucks number four is the dropouts in the c and d students usually understand how to find an angle with anything they’re doing they try to figure out how to work an angle i’ll use myself as an example so i used to work a job i had the traditional nine-to-five job and i was in the union so i understood that i had a pretty safe job and i
Looked at everyone around i noticed that everyone around me that acted very smart ended up getting all the extra work because they were very meticulous they were very good at their work so i thought about that in my head and i said okay if i don’t have as much work to do that means i have more downtime and that means i can spend more time researching investments or
Planning youtube videos or doing things for my business so i made the decision to purposefully make mistakes with my work and act like an idiot that way all the work would flow around me and i would pretty much have nothing to do i’d be sitting there working on my youtube-channel and studying investments and everyone else around me was calling me stupid but really
When you think about it i don’t know i guess that’s up to you who was the real idiot in that situation but that’s the thing is the c and d students understand how to work an angle to their advantage they see beyond the surface as i would say and fifth and finally it’s usually the fact that the c and d students hate the system they understand that the schooling
System is useless it’s like having all these different animals trying to climb a tree you know a monkey versus a giraffe climbing a tree who’s gonna win everyone out there learns in different ways and you’re tested in one way and so usually the c and d students are the alternative learners they learn in different ways whether it’s hands-on or just by experience
And they understand that the system is pretty much useless and as a result they’re not going to buy into it they’re not going to buy into the the nine-to-five 445 they’re not going to buy into the keeping up with the joneses they want to be as different as possible and that is what causes them to do different things than most people are doing but anyways guys that
Is what i think that is why i think you see the a students working for the d students or you see the college dropout starting companies and becoming rich i’m not telling you to drop out of school your best option yes stay in school okay it’s probably one thousandth of a percent of dropouts that end up being ceos but it’s a story you hear quite frequently if you
