DeMarco argues that this belief convinces you that you\u2019re <em>not<\/em> accountable for your finances by disregarding two important factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) The many failures entrepreneurs face before they acquire wealth:<\/strong>&nbsp; For example, DeMarco failed several times before building a company that made him millions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Many entrepreneurs not only face failure <em>before<\/em> they acquire wealth but also <em>after<\/em> they acquire it. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/335042\">they often fight back to regain the money they lose<\/a>. For example, James Altucher founded a web-design company, sold it for $10 million, then lost all his money through a series of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/bad-investments\/\">bad investments<\/a>. Instead of giving in to failure, he clawed his way back to wealth by becoming a popular author, blogger, and podcaster.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2)<\/strong> <strong>The role your thoughts, behaviors, and choices play in creating your financial circumstances:<\/strong> For example, the reason DeMarco overcame his failures was that he <em>chose<\/em> to learn from them and take persistent actions to achieve his financial goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to DeMarco, because you don\u2019t feel accountable for your finances, you fail to see what you can do to improve them. This creates a feeling of powerlessness that prevents you from moving toward your financial goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: According to Mark Manson (<a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-subtle-art-of-not-giving-a-f-ck\"><em>The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck<\/em><\/a>), your level of accountability impacts your overall well-being in addition to your finances. He claims that acknowledging your role in your circumstances (by recognizing that you\u2019re always choosing how you respond to them, thereby influencing what happens next) <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-subtle-art-of-not-giving-a-f-ck\/chapter-5\">empowers you to make conscious choices that benefit your overall well-being<\/a>. On the other hand, ignoring your role in your circumstances (for example, by believing that other people are to blame for the state of your finances) disempowers you from making choices that\u2019ll ultimately improve your well-being\u2014and your finances.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-create-your-own-opportunities\"><strong>Create Your Own Opportunities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>DeMarco argues that the connection between money and luck is overestimated. Each choice you make initiates a limited set of potential outcomes\u2014and that you can only experience outcomes that line up with your choices. Therefore, financial \u201cluck\u201d comes from making choices that set off potentially successful outcomes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you choose to rely on an hourly wage as your sole source of income and spend all your free time playing video games. Your choices <em>limit<\/em> your probability of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/achieving-financial-success\/\">achieving financial success<\/a> because they don\u2019t create opportunities to acquire wealth from other sources. On the other hand, choosing to spend your free time constructively\u2014for example, by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/develop-yourself\/\">improving yourself<\/a> or developing business ideas\u2014<em>increases<\/em> your probability of achieving financial success because it creates multiple opportunities for you to improve your finances.(Shortform note: Research suggests that setting intentions will help you make choices that initiate successful outcomes. This is because intentions force you to focus on <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-become-the-person-you-want-to-be-2\/\">who you want to be<\/a><\/em>, and they<a href=\"https:\/\/thriveglobal.com\/stories\/how-a-top-harvard-business-school-professor-approaches-intention-setting\/\"> increase your self-discipline when you\u2019re faced with conflicting choices<\/a> about how to spend your time or your money. For example, if you set a clear intention to spend an hour every evening focusing on your business, you\u2019ll know the <em>right<\/em> way to act when faced with a decision between working constructively and wasting your time on distractions.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do only lucky people get rich?
