Whenever billionaires like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk or Dangote sit for an interview.
And theyāre asked these questions;
1. āWhatās the secret to your success?ā
2. āHow can young people become successful?ā

They all give the same advice and it's the worst advice you can get if you want to become successful.
Can you guess what it is?
Okay, I'll tell you!
āFollow Your Passionā
This 3-word advice is complete bullsh*t. It's one of the greatest lies on earth.
But I understand why they say so.
Imagine they decide to give an honest answer and say;
āIām a billionaire because Iām smarter than most poor peopleā
How does it sound?
It makes them sound insensitive, even though thereās (some) truth to it.
Look,
billionaires say āFollow your passionā because itās the safer option.
And it appeals to the minds of ordinary people.
Hereās the truth
If you want to become successfulā¦
You need to do the things 90% of ordinary people arenāt willing to do.
You need to put your head where it hurts. You need grit, perseverance and sacrifice.
