A true “rags to riches” story

I’d like to tell you a true “rags to riches” story (this is the short version from my book).

There was a young woman in China who had little education. Her parents were in poor health so she had to go to work to support her family.

She got a job in a watch lens workshop and earned less than $1 a day.

At age 22, she had the idea that perhaps she could start her own company.

She gathered family members together and they were able to scrape $3,000 together to start their own watch lens workshop.

The business grew steadily, but the turning point was when she decided to make glass screens for mobile phones and touchscreens, including Apple’s.

Fast forward many years…her company, Lens Technology, employed over 74,000 people.

The woman became the world’s richest self-made woman with a net worth of $8 billion!

True story!

I shortened it a bit, but I’m telling you this story because I want to tell you why this is relevant to you:

1. Whatever your financial circumstances are right now, whether good or not so good, you can achieve whatever you set your mind to.

2. You are always going to find someone in worse circumstances that has pulled themselves out of it and become successful, so realize how bad you might think things are right now, they aren’t permanent.

3. A wealthy mindset, investing plan, and mentor can take you a long way toward reaching your financial goals.

4. Although businesses are a great money engine to build wealth, you don’t have to be an entrepreneur to achieve financial freedom because there are more potentially life-changing investments now than we have seen in years.

and

5. No matter what you think your limitations are that are keeping you from reaching your financial goals, you can make them happen.

Financial independence is within your reach because new technology like Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, robotics, semiconductor chips, electric vehicles and digital assets are creating copious amounts of new wealth and, in my opinion, are likely to continue to do so for several more years this decade.

Keep going, wealth is within your reach.
