@AndSoWeCode yeah, rich people usually forget their luck. Other people like them have done exactly the same, but luck, time or place didn't work so that they failed.
Selfmade rich people usually fall prey to the Texas sharpshooter fallacy when explaining their success. -
Getting billionaires' tips doesn't mean that do everything what they did. I mean get some ideas like how they faced problems on their journey, what they did to find a proper way to success etc if you need to begin a startup or any other thing. Get something to your life by looking and studying their lives.

rant1ng44037yLuck is a much much smaller factor than you realize, and that belief holds a lot of people back.
I'm lucky I never believed in luck. -

You've heard the expression "I work hard to get lucky" right?
It's kind of what I'm talking about.
And, I don't think those studies actually went out and surveyed 100 Jack Ma's, and ascertained they all had the same vision, who then all followed the same exact strategies, who then impolemented them all in the same way, and only Jack was successful.
Because that would be the only way to prove luck is a factor.
If you set out to do something, and you work your ass off to do it no matter what, you'll probably get there, or you'll change course and get somewhere close enough. Most people just quit, or don't even set the high goals to begin with. Or find an excuse, or whatever.
You can't get somewhere you don't first purposefully envision going, and I dare say very few thought to become Ali Baba.
