Hey, my name is Justin and I want to be a billionaire. Ever since I was a child, I was obsessed with making money and I think I am just genetically pre-disposed to love money or some shit. Lol. (And yes, I will use LOL from time to time because it’s engrained in my soul since the first flip phone came out when I was a teenager.)
Any who, the main reason I truly believe this is a good idea for me personally (probably not a good idea for most people) is because I have an inflow of ideas constantly booming through my head and I would like to bring them from my head into reality. I have adult ADHD which comes with all sorts of negatives and benefits, but the best (and also the worst) part of dealing with this is my hyperactive brain. Imagine 50 Chinese ping pong champions all going full tilt, slapping balls around inside your brain and the only time it stops is when these thoughts become so intense, they all collapse into each other and it fades into this deafening silence…. Which in reality is just massive cranial overload and this is usually when I’m about to have a mental breakdown and starting crying until I pass out… ya, kinda lame.
But we all have problems we have to overcome and I am grateful my hardships also come with a strange gift… this goes back to this crazy idea inflow. These ideas come so frequently I feel like I have a new billion-dollar idea that pops into my head every single day. Although every time I announce them to my wife, she just nods her head in agreement (I don’t think she is actually listening…) lol.
Nonetheless, I continue to spew these ideas to her just to get them off my chest. This may seem like a superpower that would lead someone to ultimate riches… sadly, this is not true. Someone once asked Bill Gates and Warren Buffet if they could choose one word to sum up why they are successful they both chose the same word…. FOCUS. People with ADHD can go into this super mode we call “hyperfocus” which is this awesome feeling where time flies by, you skip lunch and before you even check the time its already time for supper and it has felt like only a half hour or so has gone by. A really cool book called Flow illustrates this concept that everyone can get into, where the time flies and they feel like they are floating and filled this massive sense of purpose, accomplishment, and every ecstasy… so ya it’s a pretty fun place to be.
So, with all of that ramble out of the way, here is a few reasons I will make a good billionaire. Thousands of outside-the-box ideas that the world has never seen… 99% may be bad, but they are all unique and different and wasting all of these original thoughts that could help improve people’s lives makes me feel like I am not living up to my full potential on this earth. “Hyperfocus” which allows me to absorb new concepts quickly and get work done in hours that may take people a week… or me a month if I’m in a slump. Lol. But I’m working on that… Finally, my greatest superpower and also my greatest weakness… Empathy. As a kid I was a shark, selling people shitty cars for too much money, sleeping with girls who had a boyfriend just because the challenge was greater, but one day the universe just slapped me with a big ole batch of empathy and I just started crying and feeling horrible when I sold this guy a broken-down car. Ever since, I became hyper aware of people’s feelings and feeling their pain when they were hurt almost as deeply as they felt the pain themselves. This empathy is an interesting trait to have but more on this later... maybe? Lol.
This is hOW tO bECOME a bILLIONAIRE, sTARTING wITH $0, iF yOU aRE aN iDIOT.
I write one page of the book every single day until I become a billionaire. Hopefully this journey can help you in some way.
