Many start getting rich at 18-22. Few make it in these industries, but the ones that do, make a lot. Yet most started practicing at age 5 or 10, and didn\u2019t make any money pursuing this when they were students<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start-up workers. Some workers in Silicon Valley and beyond get paid in stock options. Few firms make it to IPO. For those that do, even fairly average IT engineers can make millions. Yet many of those people studied for 3-4 years and then had to wait much longer to get the pay out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You might think that these two examples aren\u2019t realistic for most people. The more realistic way to get rich quickly is to start your own business in an area where you already have experience. If you are a dentist, you could make it big if you get the model right in your own dental practice, within a few years. The same with most industries. Again though, most of the people who make great money within a few years of starting their own business had 5-10 years of experience \u201cin the field\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the first lessons I got concerning the latter point was when I was a student and volunteering overseas during the summer holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the participants made great money working for a firm. He had a low salary and high commissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He started his own business and made really great money even in year one, after he took many of the clients from his previous employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He agreed to pay a one-off lump sum to his previous employer to avoid a court case as the contract had such a clause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the hefty upfront payment, he made money as he was building on what he had created for his previous boss. The clients trusted him and joined him, and he then scaled the business quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, luck can sometimes change these dynamics, but it isn\u2019t realistic to rely on that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is also important to know is that many of the people who get sustainable wealthy don\u2019t chase money in all circumstances and are happy to get rich slowly as well, if that is what it takes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/adamfayedcom.quora.com\/Should-we-have-an-excess-corporate-profit-tax\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should we have an excess corporate profit tax?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for the question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think it would make no sense, and will discourage investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/whitephoenix_a_photo_of_two_guys_one_of_them_is_government_offi_aa17d9e3-0043-471b-ae2b-479f33e006c0-512x512.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68801\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/whitephoenix_a_photo_of_two_guys_one_of_them_is_government_offi_aa17d9e3-0043-471b-ae2b-479f33e006c0-512x512.png 512w, https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/whitephoenix_a_photo_of_two_guys_one_of_them_is_government_offi_aa17d9e3-0043-471b-ae2b-479f33e006c0-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/whitephoenix_a_photo_of_two_guys_one_of_them_is_government_offi_aa17d9e3-0043-471b-ae2b-479f33e006c0-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/whitephoenix_a_photo_of_two_guys_one_of_them_is_government_offi_aa17d9e3-0043-471b-ae2b-479f33e006c0-81x81.png 81w, https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/whitephoenix_a_photo_of_two_guys_one_of_them_is_government_offi_aa17d9e3-0043-471b-ae2b-479f33e006c0.png 573w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The only exception is if there is a strong case of corruption. Let\u2019s say it is proven that an arms company, or oil &amp; gas firm, has actually campaigned for a war to increase profits, then I can understand it more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, Bezos and Amazon didn\u2019t campaign for lock down and there is no evidence that any oil &amp; gas companies encouraged the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, they benefited from luck, but that is how business works. Sometimes firms gain, or lose, due to randomness or luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Breaking up bigger companies for competition (anti-trust) is a better way of dealing with occasions when monopolies form, and they take advantage of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is clearly wrong, for example, if you have just one or two firms in an industry for an essential good, and they take advantage of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u00bfLe duele la indecisi\u00f3n financiera? \u00bfQuiere invertir con Adam?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"604\" src=\"https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/smile-beige-jacket-4-1024x604-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/smile-beige-jacket-4-1024x604-2.png 1024w, https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/smile-beige-jacket-4-1024x604-2-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/smile-beige-jacket-4-1024x604-2-768x453.png 768w, https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/smile-beige-jacket-4-1024x604-2-81x48.png 81w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/es\/become-adams-client\/\">Convi\u00e9rtase en mi cliente<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/es\/good-match-quiz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Realice el cuestionario de elegibilidad de clientes<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/es\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">P\u00f3ngase en contacto con<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Adam es un autor reconocido internacionalmente en temas financieros, con m\u00e1s de 830 millones de respuestas en Quora, un libro muy vendido en Amazon y colaborador de Forbes.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why do we not tax the very wealthy?
