The Fast Track to Material Wealth

🇬🇧

First of all – it doesn’t exist.

Unless you have inherited, received handouts or gifts – things that have nothing to do with your own achievement – or unless you have developed yourself intellectually on an extraordinary level, built knowledge and put it to work, the chance of getting rich quickly is almost zero.

Of course, you see people on Instagram claiming the opposite. Yes, there is a tiny handful who really made it. But 95% did not. They don’t sell their own experience – they sell AI-generated “get rich quick” packages. And those have nothing to do with real practice.

I call it what it is: bullshit.

Getting rich fast doesn’t work – unless you start with huge capital or hard-earned knowledge. And here’s another truth: many confuse revenue with profit. “Boost your revenue to XY” – yes, with ad campaigns that any child could see will never add up. Revenue does not mean profit.

I often laugh when I see these ads: “Get rich with a few simple tricks.” Honestly – if the seller was already rich, why waste time building funnels, launching courses and showing up on every platform? Why not just enjoy life? Personally, I find it too banal to even bother.

To achieve real financial success, you need qualities that are exactly what those chasing quick cash lack: patience. Knowledge. Focus. A goal that never leaves your sight. And 14–16 hours of work every single day. Not parties, not working only when you feel like it.

Yes, there are exceptions. People who made money with knowledge and a stroke of luck through crypto or similar. But even there, look at their stories: sleepless nights of study, times when they lost almost everything, yet they refused to give up. They stayed in the game, even when it looked hopeless.

People love to see the results – but never the path that led there. That’s human nature: “I want it, but I don’t want to work for it.”

35 years of self-employment, countless nights of work, a mind that never rested, several shops, and even burnouts – that’s what taught me. I’ve helped others who wanted to start businesses. None of them had the patience to truly endure.

Success grows with daily learning, with failures as well as victories. The key is to never give up, to keep going, to never lose sight of your goal. If you always give your best, you will reap the best.

And most important: never lose touch with reality. Always keep both feet on the ground.

But as I always say – this is only my opinion.First of all – it doesn’t exist.

Der schnelle Weg zum materiellen Glück

🇩🇪

Vorweg: Den gibt es nicht.

Außer man hat geerbt, Zuwendungen oder Geschenke erhalten – Dinge also, die nichts mit eigenem Erfolg zu tun haben – oder man hat sich außergewöhnlich geistig weiterentwickelt, Wissen angehäuft und dieses konsequent genutzt. Ohne das ist die Chance, schnell zu materiellem Glück zu kommen, beinah null.

Natürlich sieht man auf Instagram immer wieder Leute, die genau das behaupten. Ja, es gibt eine Handvoll, die es wirklich geschafft haben – aber 95 % nicht. Sie verkaufen kein erlerntes Wissen, sondern generierte KI-Pakete à la „Wie werde ich schnell reich“. Das hat mit echter Praxis nichts zu tun.

Ich sage ganz klar: Bullshit. Schnell reich gibt es nicht – außer mit großem Eigenkapital oder echtem, erarbeitetem Wissen.

Und noch etwas: Viele verwechseln Umsatz mit Gewinn. „Steigere deinen Umsatz auf XY“ – ja, mit Werbeschaltungen, die sich niemals rechnen können. Umsatz heißt nicht Gewinn.

Ich muss lachen, wenn ich diese Werbung sehe: „Mit ein paar Handgriffen reich werden“. Ehrlich – wenn der Verkäufer so reich ist, warum verschwendet er dann Zeit mit Funnels, Kursen und Plattformen, statt das Leben zu genießen? Mir persönlich wäre das zu banal.

Um finanziell wirklich erfolgreich zu sein, braucht es Eigenschaften, die genau denen fehlen, die auf den schnellen Euro hoffen: Geduld. Wissen. Fokus. Ein Ziel, das man niemals aus den Augen verliert. 14–16 Stunden Arbeit täglich. Und sicher keine „Work-Life-Balance“ im Sinne von Party heute, morgen mal ein bisschen was machen.

Ja, es gibt Ausnahmen. Leute, die mit Wissen und Glück über Krypto oder ähnliches zu Geld kamen. Aber auch da lohnt es sich, die Geschichten dahinter anzusehen: Nächtelanges Lernen, mehrmals fast alles verloren, immer wieder von vorne begonnen. Doch sie blieben dran – auch wenn es aussichtslos aussah.

Die meisten sehen nur das Endergebnis, nicht den Weg dorthin. Typisch menschlich: „Will haben, aber nichts tun.“

35 Jahre Selbstständigkeit, Nächte voller Arbeit, ein Kopf, der nie stillstand, mehrere Shops, Burnouts – das hat mich geprägt. Ich habe andere unterstützt, die sich selbstständig machen wollten. Keiner hatte die Geduld, wirklich durchzuhalten.

Erfolg wächst durch tägliches Lernen, durch Niederlagen und Siege. Wichtig ist: niemals aufgeben, dranbleiben, das Ziel nicht verlieren. Wer immer sein Bestes gibt, wird auch das Beste ernten.

Und das Wichtigste: niemals abheben. Immer mit beiden Beinen am Boden bleiben.

Aber am Ende – wie ich immer sage – ist das nur meine Meinung.
