Learning from the 1% - business ideas.
Following the 1% - an education for "the masses"
There are a class of people who seem to succeed at everything - and own the world's wealth. They seem to control vast amounts of things and almost do it effortlessly.
You won't find them out in some park doing drugs, having sex, and leaving a mess others must clean up.
You won't find them constantly complaining about how this or that is bad and how they are a victim of or seeking to "cure" or "eradicate" some old "societal ill".
You won't find them playing crony politics or crony capitalism.
Because none of the above 3 ploys work.
They gave us the "Occupy" movement. They give us our current political system and parties which don't seem to change much, even when a true radical takes over the White House.
They give us dead ends. They are dead ends.
It's long been known that business works faster than any law. That a savvy businessperson will already have been there, done that, and gotten their profits out of a market long before some idiot politician will pass a law against what they are doing in order to curry some votes for an imagined ill against a poor, maligned set of voters.
Because those businesspeople know that the government, as defined by its laws, are telling you exactly where you should be putting your money and how you should be doing business.
For instance, they do they tax income so highly? Because they don't really want you to work for someone else.
And even though corporations are taxed higher in the U.S. than most everywhere else, why do we still have more corporations having control over huge areas of the economy? Because corporations pay taxes on profits, not income. (Of course, this means the U.S. really doesn't want corporations here, either - and so jobs go overseas.)
But don't figure China has everything figured out because they control their money. They are only following what has become the dead-end society model of Western governments. A rising middle class getting fatter because they are eating a pre-packaged, processed diet and so getting more illnesses (heart disease, diabetes) just like the U.S. and other "developed" countries. As well, their policy of one family, one child is leaving them with a problem of an elderly population which is growing out of proportion to the young than any other country on the planet. They are going to run out of workers by 2050 - which is when world population peaks anyway, according to the experts.
The government is telling you to live off investments and passive income. The general rule: If you want less of something, tax it; if you want more of something, subsidize it. And so fuel prices go up and economies stall, perplexing political (note: Ivy League Academically-trained) wannabe's. Clueless.
So the point of following the 1% leads down a trail which tells you more and more what not to do.
Because they don't follow the 99%.
The 1% know how to get 1000% out of everything they do. Because they have learned along the way just how to focus and how to stay focused.
And this has great applicability in your own life.
Because only 1% of all that goes around you will actually lead you to the "road out". That is where your real success will come from, and it is the gift which keeps on giving to and through infinity.
And is exactly what all the truly successful people down through history have known.
Politicians don't know this, and neither do any Academic you may meet - so people who graduate from a university with a degree in the oxymoronic "political science" (like military intelligence) have two feet buried trying to walk on sand. They are going to have to re-educate themselves from scratch in order to get anywhere.
It's no surprise that out of the top ten richest people on the planet, there are a large percentage who never graduated from college. And of the few who did, they didn't go to a top-flight, Ivy League university - no, they came out of mostly unknown schools. And you will see no/few Masters and PhD's there (except honorary ones). Because college education is inversely proportional to becoming a 1% success. Statistically.
The 1% aren't of any particular sex, race, ethnics, or background, either. Their success isn't determined by age.
Their success is determined by their focus, which is very, very narrow and directed. And that's based on what works.
Success in this day and age is just as it's always been. The more you earn, the more you can help others. The people who earn the most help the most people. That follows the oldest natural "laws" which exist. And the 1% know these natural laws.
It's why "Think and Grow Rich" continues to be a bestseller, and is on the bookshelves of all those who succeed. Because it teaches you these natural laws, and the chief one being to "develop a BURNING DESIRE" as Hill said - ie. FOCUS.
Once you do, then all the world's wealth can be yours. If you still want it.
Most multi-billioniaires still stumble over this fact - money can't buy you the few truly valuable things you were born with. And so spend the rest of their lives giving away their fortune.
So don't think the uber-rich are the 1%. They aren't. Sure the 1% have all the money they need, but they are always reinvesting it into something else which will generate more income so they can help even more people.
Because the only game that wins consistently is the one which helps the greatest amount of people the greatest amount of the time.
And this is why Freedom to Choose keeps getting a wider and wider reception. Also why all these dead-end belief-systems (marxist, fascist, communist, islamicist) keep killing all the people who follow them. Because they only benefit a handful of people who are nominally "in charge". And only while they remain in charge. But because people "in charge" create enemies, they don't last long. So they don't benefit other than a few and don't enable others to help others improve.
The 1% are helping everyone they meet. And invest heavily in other 1%er's when they find them. Because these people believe in giving everyone power of choice to create (or wreck) their own lives, they are respected and honored wherever they go - if they are recognized at all.
The 1% don't particularly worry about the poor, even though they contribute more personally to their welfare than anyone else. They know the poor are that way because they have a habit of making bad choices. But the 1% also know that things can turn on a dime. That a person can sort through those bad experiences and turn them into an education which will tell them exactly what to do in order to climb out of that mess and start succeeding.
These stories make up the American Dream. These stories have nothing to do with these artificial "rights" like Housing and Healthcare.
Because the 1% know that the only rights you have are the ones you were born with. Everything else you have to earn. Your true natural rights can't be taken from you - you can temporarily give control of them over to someone else, but you can take that control back anytime you want.
The 1% live in a "magic" world because they understand exactly how this universe works. And will tell you. If you can find them.
I tell you now about a business you should be in. Low investment, no storefront to own, online purchasing and direct/drop shipping. No entry requirements. No glass ceiling. None. But it's only available in the U.S. and a handful of other countries (China, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Canada, and some others).

There's a video page here which tells a bit about it.
I hope to get more pages up on it later so you can more easily do your due diligence. Check it out for yourself.
