No. We as a society need to stop thinking that wealth is linked to being blessed, because it makes the opposite true - that people who do not have money are not blessed or somehow not favored by God, which is ridiculous.

I wonder if she used slave labor to have her strawberries picked, lots of strawberry farms in CA have horrible conditions and lots of migrant workers are out there breaking their backs in the sun with little pay. If they didn’t treat their employees well, then their home is paid for on the hard physical labor of others making pennies a day. While they suffer with nothing to take home, the “entrepreneurs” get to sit back in a mansion.

Looks to be Corona Del Mar, not Newport Beach. I used to Uber a lot of those people in that neighborhood. The one thing I've learned from studying them myself is that they specialized in something so incredibly niche and they became the best at it. One guy in that neighborhood, for example, produced frames for million dollar art pieces. Another is in horse racing. Another owns a PE firm for restaurant groups. So specific, but they're the absolute best at it.

All of these people were so humble and down to Earth

The best part of all these people who are willing to open the doors for him to interview is that they are rich and not famous. Thats the best life to live. When you can just go to any place and nobody will bother you. To be rich and a celebrity is a hard way to live. You have money but no privacy.

The one with a no solicitation sign out his door, that's great story right there. Often, rejection/control/limitations merely happens in your head.

It's pretty insane that people who are on the poverty line mostly hate what they do, and once you reach success you realize most successful people around you love what they do, and they loved it even before they reached "success". That's truly one of the most powerful notions kids can run with.

Yes Prosperity comes from those who place their prayers in the right place. The second interviewee shows this. Put Jesus as the center of our life. Work with God’s help, as he guides you. Be grateful for what God has given you. The more you give, the more you receive. If one day you lose everything. Don't be sad, because you have by your side someone who gave you everything. I believe this 100%.

I realized that the power is within me to choose slow living over the superficial rapid-fire lifestyle that would appear to others that I am productive, therefore successful. That outward appearance of my happiness or success to others just doesn't matter me anymore and I feel lighter for it. You just speak it so eloquently....

Our childhood thoughts are coming true. I remember growing up in vegas walking around the rich neighborhoods, thinking man I wish we new what they did for a living to be in that big of a house😂

I’m studying architecture and commercial construction and I started to feel a little discouraged but this easily motivated me.
