Some of these category of people are very poor when you meet them one on one and it was the because they focus on other people to help them just like how some graduate fails to learn skills while they where in school and now they are done schooling they don't have any government job and they also done have any skills they will use to support themselves financially.
It's not good to depend on someone no matter the promises the person promised you even though he's your relative you don't have to depend on him or her because humans can fail anytime but when you are taking good advantage of every single opportunity that comes your way you won't be able to depend on someone for a living. It's hard to make money these days that's why one have to work very harder to meet up with everything. There's no way one would work and not earn a living, but before you earn a living you must work to earn it.

Well, said man, a clap of hands for you. I don't have any doubt about some things you have said, and at the same time, I respectfully do not agree with everything you have said. Aside from the one statement you have only quoted, there were a lot more I said, but there was no place I made mention that "whoever is not hustling as hard as me is a lazy person." If that was actually what you understood from everything you have read, I wish to inform you that that was not what I was asking anyone to do. 

Like you have said, "some people just want to live comfortably and be happy, and everything should not revolve around money." Can you talk about things you can do successfully and efficiently in this world without money? Just give me a little glimps of how you can be happy without money or how you can live comfortably without money? Almost everything we do in this life requires money, bro. 

There is a saying that shelter, clothing, and food are the primary and basic needs of man, so can you acquire any of these primary needs without money? Even if you are living in the most undeveloped region of the world, you still need money bro and there is no way you will earn money if you site at home all day and do nothing. 

You are right to say that "not everyone wants to become a millionaire." But do you suggest that anyone also pray to be poor? Some people just want to live a comfortable lifestyle, like you said, but even if you want to live a comfortable lifestyle, it doesn't just come by sitting at home and doing nothing; you definitely need to work, bro. 

In the past years, $100 could actually buy you a lot of things in the market or when you go shopping, but try to go buy things now, and you will see just a few things you will get for $100. Things are changing; it's no longer less expensive and there's less inflation as before. Things are changing very drastically these days, and the cost of living is getting higher every day. That's why I said no one needs to relent now. People need to double their hustle; it's their responsibility and not mine. 

You've got a point; it's time to hustle, to grind, to push past those limits. Your mistake is that it's not simply about hustling. This is strategy. You talk about skill and business like willpower is enough. It won't. You need a robust, foolproof plan. Skepticism is expensive, but blind optimism? Just as awful. Waiting for buddy promises? A one-way ticket to Nowheresville. Relying on your affluent friends? That's leaving your fate to others

Leveraging your connections and growth is key. Potential clients? Influential business partners? They won't knock just because you work hard. You must draw them with value, creativity, and solutions that shout, "I'm the one you've been looking for". Though time is ticking, panic is not a plan. Slow down, analyze, then attack. The economy rewards results, not attempts. Get smart, get strategic, and stop waiting for the game to swing your way. DIY game change

Keeping up with the brand new technology stuff is also not cheap, and not every business has abundant cash, or all paid debts. Imagine that you had a rough period, like sickness or something, so you had to take out a debt, and you paid that back, but while paying, the tech improves, and you need to grow. I have a friend like that right now, he has a game designer, he makes games, and he makes A LOT of money, but because he had a 8 month period where he couldn't work due to sickness, he made insane amount of debt, thankfully he always had good credit score so he got a huge credit card limit and got a huge amount of loan, he is paying it all back now by working hard.

However, he wants to learn AI a lot, and tries to find time, and does a bit of it, and can't really spend a lot, because he has to work and pay that debt back. If technology improves and leaves him behind, what could he have done? He had no choice.

It is not easy to survive in this time we found ourselves but one still needs to do something about this hard economy than to fold the hands and watch. In this hard economy it is not easy for business people, the price of things keeps on increasing everyday and many business people takes loan in the bank just to keep their business going to see that they ate doing something that can help put food on their table.

Many people never expected that we will get to a point like this that the economy will be struggling this way. The people that won't be affected that much in this economical problem are those who have already planed ahead even before this difficult time. In the time of inflation,  it is a difficult time to go into business because in business you need money to put in to make the business go well, but during inflation period it is difficult to have much money to pump into business.

what makes a person a responsible adult is the ability to manage whatever privilege one is entitle to and still continue pushing himself to the peak as though you don't have a dime privilege. One thing i always tell myself is that regardless of what my friends or relative have financially, I assume I don't have access to it because the moment you start looking at the success of your friends as yours, you are going to become to relaxed and might bot be able to up your game as much as you ought to. Times are hard and the economy situation isn't friendly at all. The best thing you can do to yourself Is to cease every opportunity that comes your way and give it the best shot you've got knowing that you are all you've got.

Can't agree more. Though money is an essential asset to have to survive in the modern world, but not everyone is blessed to be in a position where they earn more than the rest of everybody. I won't call a person "lazy" if he makes enough money for him and his family and decided to just stick to the kind of living for a little while, even if he doesn't have millions in his bank account. I call them happy and contented.  But as the growing demand to earn more these days because of the inflation, I think everyone will be forced to make another step to continue to stay afloat.

Not everyone is chasing hard to become a millionaire, yes those are the kind of people who work really hard to get to the top, but we can't just call the others lazy who doesn't want follow their footsteps as well.

Well, at that point, you are right; as the day goes by, we get old. As for setting up a business, it's easy as long as you have capital for it. The only difficult thing is building customers for our business, which will be done in reality. And also in the business that we will build, the real skills in managing it are measured.

That's why there is no business that succeeds that just happens in an easy time; there is no such thing; instead, we really need to persevere, be strong, and be full of our determination for this, and above all, we have a passion for this as well.

The thing is, I have a belief or saying in this current situation: "If you are content with what you have right now, then you will never get far." What it means is that with the current situation right now, the inflation rate is getting higher, goods and all things in society are becoming more expensive, and if you are just content with what job you have, or in short, you are content with the minimum wage, then you will only limit yourself to what you can have. So as long as you can build a business or have an investment so that you can have more money to supply your needs and wants, aim higher, and become more ambitious, but of course with the right purpose, I'm too ambitious to have my own business or investment that can save me in early retirement from doing a corporate job. That's what makes me keep going forward and doing my best as I can in order to achieve my goal. Want to have a better life? Then be a little more ambitious and set a goal to achieve.

The belief that everyone who doesn't "hustle" as hard as you is lazy is wrong. I want the best out of life and I have to work extremely hard for that to happen, but some people are okay with where they are even though they don't have up to what I have. They're happy.
To me, life is not about how much money you make, it's about how happy you are.
Making money makes me happy, so I try my best to make money. For someone else, it may be something else, so I'll have no issues with him if he doesn't go after what makes him happy.
As far as the person is not struggling just to eat, I think we should allow people to do what they want.

Not everybody dreams of being a millionaire, some people just want to live a quiet life and make just enough to take care of the people they love and they're very happy and comfortable with that. I can't live like that, but I respect it. Everything shouldn't revolve around money.

When you do have a business then on the time that you have started, then it doesnt really stop there.This isnt really just like on putting or establishing one and then leave it and wait for some income or profit.
Business doesnt work on that way on which it would really be needing that good management, planning, marketing and other relevant stuffs that you would really be needing for it to make it big.
Dont make yourself that simply stick into those ideas that doesnt contribute out in overall progress and development. If you do live in contentment on what you are now when it comes to finances then its your choice
but we know that human beings doesnt have contentment on which on the time that they've seen opportunity for them to become rich then they would definitely do it.

It is really just that matter of action and choice on which it would really be that reflecting out whether you would succeed or not but to think that not all would be
guaranteed but at least you have done on whats something that you should gonna do.

I agree that businesses that fail to keep up with the latest technology trends may find themselves at a disadvantage. To avoid being left behind, it's important to take advantage of new technology and stay updated with the latest advancements. Those who don't keep up with the latest trends may find it difficult to remain competitive and may eventually be forced to close their business.

Considering AI is growing immensely, I have been saying to my friends that you should consider it as a tool and start a business in that regard. I know that many people have very little time these days and that is why it becomes something very tough to handle but that is just how you could go on.

If you do not do that then you are not going to gain anything from it, there should be nothing that would make sense at all. I personally believe that the best thing to do in this case would be just making sure that you start with the highest technology, the most recent one. Sure you will not be great at it at first, and sure the product will not be great right away, but with time you will get better and better without a doubt.

Yes, everyone thinks about the current difficulties for those who are experiencing them, but those who are not experiencing them, seem to think that everything is fine, because it will not have a direct impact on their lives, for example a bankrupt businessman whose family is affected will suffer greatly because they suddenly lose their decent life.
Therefore, many people are trapped in such a situation for a long time because they have never experienced it.

Dependencies is likely to be false hopes and settling for less is the broken down of a man that profers him disappointments at his dawn.
Although we complains of bad economy and hardship in towns making lifes unbearable but yet there are still some persons out there who cheers to the same economy system at a count that it is being favorable to them.
But perhaps, we just need to spend our funds while considering our income volume so that we don't attest to lean on competitive expenditures.
It is not just about planning a life for today that is required but also includes tomorrow for after now, there is later. So, it is something disturbance for a common man to fold its hands and give up to the system that is potentialed to ruin your life.

Businesspeople not only have to think about how to attract new customers, but the most important thing is how to retain existing customers so they remain loyal customers of our business. And we also do this not only during difficult economic conditions but also during normal economic conditions because thinking about this is normal in developing a business and maintaining a business. But in problematic global economic conditions like today, all companies still have the potential to gradually lose their customers due to recession or decreased purchasing power. And it's no surprise that more and more businesses are closing now. Because decreasing purchasing power can actually be more terrifying than inflation itself.

Of course we have to go through a process to achieve success and we have to be patient with every process we have to go through, because without going through the process we will not be able to achieve success and we have to work hard to achieve what we want because if we only do what we can then it is very unlikely that we can achieve such success.
Running a business requires a strategy to be able to make the business we build develop well. When we have a good strategy for the business we run, we will be able to develop the business well.

OP in as much as I know that success doesn't come for free, man must put extra effort to be successful in life, the world in general is facing hard times more especially African countries, I don't want to sound as if am discouraging anyone but do you also understand that some people don't have what it takes to move to the next level, as we are here most of us have many side hustle but you can't say that other people are not hustlers you are lucky to have one, though in other to move to the next level, you must live up to expectation that if you have what is expected of you, as a business person you should always come up with some strategy to outsmart your competitors that's the only way you can grow in the business settings.

The crisis that is coming will be mass starvation, not economic distress.   

When food (and doubly water) become scarce, those that prepared will still face massive price hikes, if not complete shortages.   You can't eat your crypto. 

Preparing should mean taking some of your savings today and investing in a hidden shelter with surplus army rations.

Well, it is very true for companies in the IT sector, because you see technology changing more rapidly with technology.

Just look at the lightening speed that AI technology has changed in just a few months.

You either adapt or Die in the IT industry... because technological development is very fast. (Crypto falls in the same industry)
