This makes no sense at all. Companies only have a certain amount of higher postions who has heard of a company having 50 managers?

Maybe this was once true but not anymore. There are too many people who work hard and are vying for the same job and opportunities. But who does he think made him a billionaire.... lol us, the little people.

Right...

Only the wealthy are hard workers.

The rest of us are just parasites.

Anyway, the man's credibility is predicated on him having the title of billionaire. It's in the thread title.

If some 'merely successful' guy had said this stuff, this thread wouldn't exist.
When asked to describe his life in 5 words, he said" very lucky and happy".

Many interviewed for this book, including the subject, got their start in business with cold calling. He sold encyclopedias door to door and moved onto selling shampoo to salons, door to door, while sleeping in his car. He learned how to cope with constant rejection and honed his powers of persuasion.

As an aside, he donates to both parties and believes healthcare should be a constutional right.

Minimum wage and the cost of living are entwined.

Does it matter if Minimum Wage is $15/ hr if it buys what $7.25 did?

In Australia, it depends on what you are buying and doing.
