If you want to get rich, you can’t think like everyone else. You can’t play it safe, take the logical path, or follow what society says is realistic.
You need to be delusional.
Not in a reckless way, but in the sense that you believe in your own success so deeply that nothing can shake you….not doubt, not failure, not even reality.
Look at the people who’ve built massive wealth. Every single one of them believed in something before there was any proof it would work.
Jeff Bezos saw a world where people shopped online when everyone thought brick-and-mortar stores would dominate forever. Elon Musk talked about electric cars and Mars colonization while people laughed at him.
Every self-made millionaire, or billionaire, who started a business began with zero followers, zero sales, and zero reason to believe they’d make it.
But they believed anyway.
Meanwhile, the average person stays broke because they refuse to think beyond their current reality.
They play small, stay in their comfort zone, and let fear of failure dictate their actions. They call it being realistic, but in reality, it’s just self-imposed limitation.
They wait for the perfect moment, the right opportunity, or external validation before they take action.
But winners don’t wait.
They move.
They don’t need permission.
When you start thinking big, people will doubt you. Your friends and family will call you crazy. They’ll tell you to be careful, to have a backup plan, to lower your expectations.
Not because they care about you, but because your ambition exposes their own limitations.
Every successful person was called insane before they were called brilliant. If you listen to the doubters, you’ll stay exactly where you are, broke, struggling, and wondering why success never found you.
The truth is, the world rewards those who see things before they exist. If you believe in your vision so strongly that nothing can break you, you will find a way to make it real.
Being delusional isn’t a weakness, it’s a requirement.
Because as they say, it’s only crazy until it happens.
