I really like this idea.

@Thomashegna
Who is really on the "shark tank panel"? Consumers. Why not learn how they were so successful? If we ask a billionaire how they became wealthy their first answer won't be "short-change workers". No, they created business system(s) that delivered massive value, employed thousands, while sacrificing their time & assuming the financial risk.

You can choose to become wealthy too and influence your destiny but limiting beliefs may keep you poor.

Choose action over fantasy. They did.

@Gahrae Your rosy view of humankind is not supported by my experience. Intragenerational wealth allows for consequence-free failure--which then allows for the upper echelon to go unwinnowed.

@Thomashegna I don't understand being upset because other people are rich and wanting to take from their children. What does this fantasy achieve?

If I could attend that Shark Tank meeting and have a billionaire explain how they earned their success... I'd arrive early and prepared to take notes!

Rationalizing that success is being born to the right parents is a limiting belief that keeps people poor.

People would be better off if they emulated successful people.

Be rosy, you'll achieve more

@Gahrae If we cut to the root of this, it is actually not the idea of wealth that bothers me (though I can understand the misinterpretation). It is the idea that wealth is a mark of virtue, and poverty is an indication of laziness and indolence. I've met far too many counterexamples on both sides to see this as a black and white issue. And though people really ran with the 'shark' part of the tweet I quoted, it is really an opportunity to justify your worth.
@Gahrae I do appreciate the tenor of your comment! I shudder to think what the negative comments would have been like on Twitter . . .
