Yes, maybe you are right that action and learning from mistakes is the path to success, and that is the nature of most successful people. Because I once read that successful or wealthy people are stupid people who always make mistakes but they are persistent in getting up. That will increase your chances of getting lucky. And to become wealthy also requires luck, because luck is the main factor in becoming successful and wealthy. What happens most often is that those who make money initially get their money from someone else, through inheritance which increases their chances, but this is always a matter of luck. Don't believe the myth of entrepreneurs who are friendly, kind, talented, and thrive on their own efforts.
Those at the top get there not because they are great, but because they often had some luck when starting out, for example being born male, white, and wealthy. Because they had many lucky moments on their way to the top. So the formula for being successful is Hard Work x Unfair Advantage. But hard work remains an important factor in achieving success. Because if there is no hard work, then what is there to increase the chances of success? There are also many people who are lucky but don't make good use of the opportunities they have and end up with nothing. So everything is needed to become wealthy.
Most of the times,building wealth requires a very long time,so much efforts,and lots of self discipline,and there are several rules that guide or govern such choice of decision in the beginning.
You'll start by harnessing your thoughts,intentions,and initializing your actions all together to attract wealth.
At least,for some people who are not born into wealth,they're told to never spend more than what you earn,and that's a financial responsibility that every individual should possess irrespective of your earnings.It is important for every individual to consciously choose the right tools towards attaining and building wealth.
