Sethi came from educationally focused immigrant parents who supported and encouraged his dream of getting into Stanford.
That simple belief and fortitudinous approach laid the foundation for Sethi that many financial advisors couldnt even touch.
Lesson 1: If Its Important?
Sethi said, For my parents, when it came to education, theyd find the money.
I took the class.
Having an instructor who could work with me and help walk me through the examples was priceless.
It was also nice to be around other students who had the same struggles.
I realized I wasnt alone.
Sethi learned this from his family.
And for me, the security of knowing I could get personalized help from the instructor … wow.
Sethi added, But theres another thing I didnt mention.
For a long time, I didnt tell anybody I took that Kaplan class.
It was just something I didnt want to talk about.
I wanted success to seem effortless.
He said, People tend to believe we shouldnt try too hard to succeed …
It takes work to be good, and a lot of work to be great.
Worse, theyre delusional.
Sethi went on to say, I know how much work it takes to build a multi-million dollar business.
Success, whether its your finances, your business, or your relationships, takes an investment of time.
And sometimes, money.
Success is almost never effortless.
I wish I could tell 15-year-old Ramit that theres no shame in asking for help.
In tapping into the expertise of someone who knows more than you do, in accelerating your growth.
The process is multifaceted, and growing your wealth can beequal parts nature and nurture.
