Akira The Don, Naval Ravikant - Making Money is not about Luck lyrics
[Akira The Don, Naval Ravikant - Making Money is not about Luck lyrics]
Obviously, we want to be wealthy
Then we want to get there in
This lifetime without having to rely on luck
Akira a lot of people think making money
Is about luck it's
Not A lot of people think making money
Is about luck it's not A lot of people
Think making money is about luck it's not
It's about becoming the kind of
Person that makes money
A lot of people think making
Money is about luck
It's not A lot of people think making money
Is about luck it's not A lot of people
Think making money is about luck it's not
It's about becoming the kind of
Person that makes money
I like to think that if I lost all my money
And if you drop me on a
Random street in any English-speaking
Country within 5 or 10 years
I'd be wealthy again right
Because it's just the skillset
That I've developed
And I think anyone can develop
You know in a thousand parallel universes
You want to be wealthy in 999 of them
You don't want to be wealthy in the 50
Of them where you got lucky So
We want to factor a lock out of it
There are really four kinds of luck
Blind luck where I just got
Lucky because of things
Completely out of my control
Happened Fortunate fate etcetera
Then there's luck that kind of comes
Through persistence hard work, hustle
Motion which is when you're just running
Around creating lots of opportunities
You generate a lot of energy
You're doing a lot of things lots of things
Will just get stirred up in the dust
It's almost like mixing a petri
Dish and seeing what combines
Or mixing about your reagents
And see what combines
You just generate enough force
And hustle and energy
That luck will sort of find you
A third way is that you just become
Very good at spotting luck So
If you are very skilled in a field
You will notice when a lucky
Break happens in that field
Than other people who aren't attuned
To it won't notice
So, you become sensitive to luck and that's
Through skill and knowledge and work
A lot of people think making money
Is about luck it's not A
Lot of people think making money
Is about luck it's not
It's about becoming the kind of
Person that makes money
A lot of people think making
Money is about luck
It's not A lot of people think making money
Is about luck it's not A lot of people
Think making money is about luck it's not
It's about becoming the kind of
Person that makes money
The last kind of luck is
The weirdest heart is kind
But that's what we want to talk about which
Is where you build a unique character
A unique brand
A unique mindset where the luck finds you
Luck finds you for example
Let's say that you're the best person in
The world at deep-sea underwater diving
And you're known to like take
On Deep Sea underwater
Dives that nobody else will
Even attempt to dare
And then by sheer luck somebody
Finds a sunken treasure
Ship off the coast they can't get at
Well their luck just became
Your luck because they're
Gonna come to you to get that treasure
And you’re going to get paid for it
Now that's an extreme example
But it is just showing how
Like the person who got
Lucky but find the treasure chest
That was blind luck
But them coming to you and
Asking you to extract it
And having to give you half that's not luck
You kind of created your own luck
You put yourself in a position to be
Able to capitalize on that luck
Or to attract that luck when nobody
Has created that opportunity for themselves
A lot of people think making
Money is about luck
It's not A lot of people think making money
Is about luck it's not A lot of people
Think making money is about luck it's not
It's about becoming the kind of
Person that makes money
A lot of people think making
Money is about luck
It's not A lot of people think making money
Is about luck it's not A lot of people
Think making money is about luck it's not
It's about becoming the kind of
Person that makes money
When we talk about without getting lucky
We want to be deterministic we don't
Wanna leave it to chance
I don't think it's impossible
I think that you may have to work a little
Bit harder at it given
Your starting circumstances Remember
I started as a poor kid in India right
So if I can make it anybody can
Now obviously I had all my limbs and I had my
Mental faculties and I did
Have an education So
There are some prerequisites you
Can't get past
But if you're listening to this you probably
Have the requisite means at your disposal
Which is a functioning body
And functional mind
And I have encountered plenty of
Bad luck along the way
First little fortune that I made I
Instantly lost on the stock market
The second I got cheated
By my business partners
It's only the third time around as
To the charm and even then
It has been a slow and steady struggle
I haven't made money in my life
In one giant way out
It's always been a whole bunch of
Small things kind of piling up
So, it's more about consistently
Creating wealth by creating
Businesses and create opportunities
And creating investment
It hasn't been like a giant one-off thing
My personal wealth has not been generated by
One a big year It just sort
Of stacks up little bit chips at
A time more options More businesses
More investments more things I can do
It's going to be a long
Lifetime of learning of
Reading of creating that's just
Going to compound
A lot of people think making money
Is about luck it's not A
Lot of people think making money
Is about luck it's not
A lot of people think making money
Is about luck it's not
It's about becoming the kind of
Person that makes money
A lot of people think making
Money is about luck
It's not A lot of people think making money
Is about luck it's not A lot of people
Think making money is about luck it's not
It's about becoming the kind of
Person that makes money
So, we're talking about getting wealthy so
You can retire so you have
Your freedom Not retired in a
Sense you don't do anything
But in the sense that you
Don't have to be anyplace
You don't want to be you
Don't have to do anything
You don't want to do and you can wake up
When you want You can sleep when you want
You don't have a boss that's freedom
So, we're talking about enough wealth
To get to freedom
And especially thanks to the Internet these
Days those opportunities are massively
Abundant I in fact have too
Many ways to make money
I don't have enough time
I literally have opportunities pouring
Out of my ears
And the thing I keep running out of is time
There's just so many ways to create wealth
To create products to create businesses
To create opportunities
And as a by-product in my society that
I just can't even handle it all
Then we want to get there in
This lifetime without having to rely on luck
Akira a lot of people think making money
Is about luck it's
Not A lot of people think making money
Is about luck it's not A lot of people
Think making money is about luck it's not
It's about becoming the kind of
