According to MJ DeMarco, the author of<em> Unscripted<\/em>, everyone can get rich: You don&#8217;t need to have any special talents or skills. The idea that acquiring wealth requires special talents discourages people from improving their chances of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/achieving-financial-success\/\">achieving financial success<\/a> in two ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) Convincing those who\u2019ve <\/strong><strong><em>easily<\/em><\/strong><strong> achieved success before that they\u2019re talented and that acquiring wealth will be <\/strong><strong><em>equally easy<\/em><\/strong>: For example, as a child, you got perfect grades without applying effort. You grew up assuming that you\u2019d acquire wealth just as easily and you don\u2019t see the need to improve your skill set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Psychologists expand on why assuming you\u2019re already talented enough to acquire wealth hinders your chances of success. While positive expectations are beneficial\u2014because they encourage you to rise above challenges\u2014<strong><em>unrealistic<\/em><\/strong><strong> positive expectations<\/strong>, such as believing that you\u2019ll <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/steps-to-achieve-your-goals\/\">achieve your goals<\/a> without applying effort, set you up for failure. This is because they <em>don\u2019t<\/em> prepare you to take proactive steps to counter the inevitable obstacles that you\u2019ll face. On the other hand, <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2011\/05\/be-an-optimist-without-being-a\"><strong><em>realistic<\/em><\/strong><strong> positive expectations<\/strong> acknowledge that the road to success requires effort and persistence<\/a>\u2014thereby encouraging you to take a proactive approach toward achieving your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/goals-change\/\">financial goals<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) Convincing those who\u2019ve struggled to achieve success that they <\/strong><strong><em>aren\u2019t<\/em><\/strong><strong> talented enough to acquire wealth and never will be:<\/strong> For example, you lost money due to a poor investment decision. Instead of educating yourself on making more profitable decisions, you assume that you\u2019ll always make unprofitable decisions and give up on your plan to invest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Tony Robbins (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/awaken-the-giant-within\"><em>Awaken the Giant Within<\/em><\/a>) clarifies why believing that you aren\u2019t talented enough discourages you from moving toward your financial goals: It causes you to focus on your limitations and blocks your ability to find solutions. As a result, you resign yourself to living with less than you want. Robbins suggests that you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/awaken-the-giant-within#use-empowering-questions-to-direct-your-thoughts\">overcome this self-defeating tendency by asking yourself positive and empowering questions that lead to solutions<\/a>. For example: How can you take advantage of compound interest and safeguard your money at the same time?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cultivate-an-entrepreneurial-mindset-make-incremental-improvements\"><strong>Cultivate an Entrepreneurial Mindset: Make Incremental Improvements<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overcome this belief and cultivate an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/entrepreneurial-perspective\/\">entrepreneurial mindset<\/a> by making daily incremental improvements to your skill set<\/strong>. DeMarco argues that even the tiniest amount of progress will dispel the myth that your capabilities are fixed and cannot be improved. As a result, you\u2019ll feel more empowered to hone the necessary skills to achieve your financial goals. For example, if you think you\u2019re incapable of coming up with profitable business ideas, look to business books for inspiration and set a goal of coming up with at least one profitable idea each week, eventually progressing to one new idea each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/improve-your-skills\/\">Improve Your Skills<\/a> by Focusing on One Component at a Time<\/strong><br><br>Angela Duckworth (<a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/grit\"><em>Grit<\/em><\/a>) offers practical advice on making incremental improvements to your skill set. She argues that you\u2019re more likely to make progress if you break each skill you want to improve down into different components and <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/grit#stage-2-practice\">focus on mastering one component at a time<\/a>. She provides a four-step process to achieve this:&nbsp;<br><br>1) Focus on a specific component of the skill you want to improve or learn. For example, if your goal is to learn <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-write-advertising-copy\/\">how to write marketing copy<\/a> for your business, focus on mastering headlines. Give that specific component your undivided attention.<br><br>2) Once you think you\u2019ve mastered that component, ask others to evaluate your progress. Pay more attention to what you did wrong than what you did right.<br><br>3) Reflect on the feedback you received and continue to give that single component your undivided attention until you master it.<br><br>4) Repeat the process until you\u2019ve mastered all of the different components of your chosen skill.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can anyone become rich?
