Show  – How Liquid Are You?
Theme – FOREVER HAPPY!
Talking Points – Easy-peasy is my wallet!

Welcome to the NINTH show of Season 6 ‘Building YOU to BUILD your BUSINESS’ with Ravin Papiah!

Introduction
WELCOME to the NINTH Show of Season 6!
If you are not Aware, You Are Nowhere! Ravin S. Papiah

“Don’t compare yourself with anyone in this world…if you do so, you are insulting yourself.”  Bill Gates


AS USUAL, I am really excited for today’s show – Why? Because today I will AGAIN be talking about YOU! Yes, YOU! The Good YOU, The Amazing YOU, the Incredible YOU!

One of the biggest issues that the majority of people face in this world is the lack of money. Money is a big issue, because everything you need to lead a good life, you need money. You need money to buy food, clothes, shelter which are the basic requirements of every human life. Then you need more money to fulfil other needs such as medication, utility bills, transport, and more. And if you want to progress in life, like having your own house, our own car, or study further or send your children to good schools, you need more money. So, how do we make sure we have the money we need to live a good life?


IN TODAY’S SHOW, We are going to talk about HOW we can become MORE liquid? You may be asking what does that mean. This is what we will cover in today’s show…


SEGMENT ONE – Take an inventory of yourself

Different people are at different stages in their lives. Some of us are highly qualified, some of us may have not studied much. It doesn’t matter, we can still make our lives better. Both sets of people thrive and both sets of people struggle. It is not that all those who have big degrees are assured of a successful life. The same way, it is not assured that those who have studied little have no successful future.

History shows that most of the highly successful people have been school drop-outs 

Leonardo DiCaprio Dropped Out

Leo is one of the most iconic actors of his generation, playing all sorts of roles since he was just a kid. He dropped out of high school fairly early on, and has gone on to live a life of wealth, fame, and prosperity. 
 Nicole Kidman Dropped Out to ActNicole Kidman dropped out of her Australian high school at the age of 16. She decided to pursue a career in acting rather than finishing off her studies, and the decision went very well for her. After starring in many successful films, she’s had a resurgence in her career as one of the co-stars of Big Little Lies on HBO, where her and her co-stars have had heaps of praise laid on them for their incredible performances.
  

Cameron Diaz Dropped Out to Model

Cameron Diaz was introduced to many with her sultry performance in The Mask, starring Jim Carrey. Since then, she’s had a great career in dramatic and comedic roles alike. Cameron Diaz quit school at the age of 16 to follow a career in modelling, but she found her way to the big screen and the rest is history. Cameron Diaz was starring in movies until 2014, when she decided to walk away from her career as an actress. 

Michael Dell

Michael Dell dropped out of University of Texas at Austin his freshman year at the age of 19. He would go on to found Dell Technologies and is now worth $20.9 billion. 

Steve Jobs

The founder of Apple left Reed College when he was just 19, reportedly because it was too much of a financial burden for his family. Despite his short tenure at Reed, Jobs still found his time there valuable. In a 2005 commencement speech at Stanford, he credited a Reed calligraphy course for providing the inspiration for the typography he used on the first Mac.

Bill Gates attended Harvard for two years before leaving to build what would become Microsoft. The Harvard Crimson describes him as “Harvard’s most successful dropout,” and today he is the wealthiest person on planet earth. 

Mark Zuckerberg
Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard, founded Facebook and became the 5th wealthiest man alive. According to the book “The Facebook Effect,” it took him just five minutes to make the decision to quit college.

Well there are many more examples in the world, which you can easily find on the Net. BE careful here – I am NOT saying you SHOULD quit school or quit study. What I am saying is that, despite the fact that you may not be very well educated academically, you can still make it big in life. In fact those who are highly qualified academically, bring no guarantee that they will succeed massively in life.
SO, what is the secret of succeeding highly in life if it is not solely academic qualification? Let’s find out in Segment 2.

SEGMENT TWO – Failure is a school

School dropouts CAN (but not always) be more successful because they develop a thick skin to failure and are able to pick themselves up faster than the straight A honor student.

Michael Dell, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison are all famous college-dropout billionaires. The combined net worth of  the most famous dropouts is USD 246 billion. The average net worth of billionaires who dropped out of college, $9.4 billion, is approximately triple that of billionaires with Ph.D.s, $3.2 billion.

According to a recent report from Cambridge-based Forrester Research, 20% of America’s millionaires never attended college. Make no mistake, for most people advanced degrees are still valuable. A graduate degree can have a huge impact on your household income and your life progress. A family with a professional degree holder can make 5X of a family with just high school certificate holders.

The question then is; why are so many college dropouts successful in life? It’s true there are successful college dropouts. It’s also true many more fail. Here are a few reasons as mentioned by Thomas Oppong, Founder at Alltopstartups and author of Working in The Gig Economy, why some college dropouts are successful in life and or business.

1. 
A dropout has no plan B. You don’t have a degree or a guaranteed job to fall back on. So you push yourself harder. Thomas feel he did so himself, when he recall his young years and those of his batch-mates.


​2. A dropout starts earlier. Thomas says: I started my first business at 18 and failed. I started my second months later. And failed again. I then started working for others. And by the time my cohort had graduated, done their masters, etc. and come into the real world, I had already worked for 5 years and they came in some 2 rungs behind me on the same corporate ladder.
Let’s see more reasons in Segment 3…

SEGMENT THREE – Why you can still make yours a successful life
3. A dropout has fewer fears, loans, expectations to live up to. Thomas dad expected he’d end up waiting tables at a Udipi restaurant. It was not difficult to surpass this expectation for him. He continued - I daresay my friends who did the Engineering + Masters route had higher expectations to live up to.

.4. Depends on why they dropped out.  A book “The Millionaire Mind” covered this topic in great detail. In short, (from the book) dropouts CAN (but not always) be more successful because they develop a thick skin to failure and are able to pick themselves up faster than the straight A honor student.  Ever see how life smacks a straight A student in the face for the first time and they are paralyzed (mental of course)?

5. Richard Branson, Mark Zuckerburg, David Karp, Bill Gates……are people who went on to become billionaires with little or no college education. These people are outliers of the population – through their domain knowledge, personal networks, work ethic, and also just good timing, they went on to become uber successful with their careers as business owners.

6. The “thing” that separates successful dropouts from unsuccessful ones, is the successful ones do not dropout of learning and doing. They simply take a different route to achieve a common goal.

7. College doesn’t make you successful or teach you things you cannot learn elsewhere. It is simply a stamp of certification and if you graduate it shows that you can commit to something and complete assigned requirements.

Most people should go that route if you’re looking for a “white-collar” job. However, there are and always will be, people with different skill-sets, mentalities and preferences. You don’t have to change the world to be considered successful, nor do you have to complete college.

SEGMENT FOUR – Hungry and Relentless

8. They were hungry. Steve Jobs mentioned hunger in his commencement speech at Stanford. These successful dropouts had a hunger to learn. John Mayer’s favorite part of high school was the moment he could go home and imitate his rock legends and study their body of work. Studying their lyrics, the melodies, the riffs.

9.  They were relentless. Whenever you learn something new. You will fail. And then when you become successful at some point you will fail. Failure is inevitable, but why can’t success be inevitable? To succeed you have got to have GRIT. It really isn’t about how many times you fall but how many times you get up.

10. The Harvard dropout success stories are the geniuses, identified and admitted by Harvard, who got too bored to wait around getting a credential for 4 years. In most cases, they were smart enough to make the calculated decision and realize their ventures were about to pay off bigger than the Harvard degree.

So, what can you do?
  1. Identify your passion
  2. Find a way to upgrade your skills and knowledge in that field
  3. Make sure you join Groups where the people of your passion meet
  4. Go where you can get an opportunity to show your craft, however small that opportunity is – Start somewhere
  5. Be so good in it that the world can’t ignore you
  6. Keep polishing and refining your craft, ALWAYS!
  7. Don’t refuse any opportunity to expose and demonstrate your craft
  8. Do it afraid
  9. It is ok to be awful when you start, you are still ahead of millions of people in the world. You need to be awful to be awesome. 
  10. Don’t judge you at the start of your adventure – keep grinding, keep growing
  11. Do something that makes you very liquid, it’s not a shame to work!
  12. Keep believing and NEVER stop having FAITH in YOU first, and in your dreams
  13. Action is the secret weapon – ACT ACT ACT!
  14. Read books, biographies of successful people – fill your mind with good and positive materials
  15. Get away from toxic, negative people – do not admit them in your inner circle, never!
  16.  Meditate, Visualise and do affirmations – these are great for your soul and keep your mind clear and focused
  17. Take care of your Health, of your body (your temple) and your sanity
  18. Enjoy the nature, take a walk, jog, take some me-time to think and reflect on past moments and draw conclusions and get better
  19. Give – give your tome, your knowledge, your kindness, your smile – its not always about money, but if you can give money too, please give to organisations that are working hard to alleviate poverty and enhance human lives all around the world.
  20. Then, be happy as much as you can. Happiness leads to success and not the other way round.
