Creativity - Insight into The Art of Getting rich
This is perhaps the most coveted secret of the rich and powerful that I have been dying to express in my lifetime, well - at least before I become deceased. But first, let's take a look at the facts:
1. Henry Ford, one of the richest men in the world in the 1900's.
Ford was raised on a farm as his initial upbringing. He barely had the material needs to meet the minimum qualifications of entry into the auto-mobile industry for he was young and went into bankruptcy at least twice before he achieved the tremendous success that we so remember him by. Now, to the most important question - What made him successful when the odds were clearly - more than stacked against him? Some might argue that he was more gifted, or that he was in the right place at the right time and they will be right to some extent. Yet, when we dig deeper into his history, we find something else! Ford was given a watch by his father when he was about 12 and rather than show off to his friends about it, he took the watch apart and proceeded to examine it. He literally saw his destiny flash before his eyes in that moment and over the course of the proceeding years, he carried that sense of fate and proceeded to invent a completely novel way of manufacturing auto mobiles. Now to the really important question: What did Ford posses in that ancient period that made him partake the 1% richest people in the world? What made him stand out above the crowd and why is he still richer than me or us when I certainly have more resources at my command than he did, plus I'm not that un intelligent. The intelligence of humans has evolved to higher levels of sophistication over time.
The secret that I have seen in the most successful entrepreneurs from a distance, yet over time ( and this includes Kyle and Carson - who have gifted us a most wonderful platform) is creativity! They disregard fear, they disregard conventional perception. Instead they focus on what is available to them and how they can make this better or apply it in a different way. And this way is suited to their goals and desires of what they want for themselves and wish for every body else. May be I will dissect other greats in the future but for now, my message to anyone reading is the same message that Apple gave to the world in Steve Job's times - "Think Differently." About things, people, places and even events. WA is a platform Ford could never have dreamed of. Embrace this platform and create your freedom. It may sound foolish, but may be people will blog about you in the world to come!
Ps. Feel free to leave comments about my writing skills and how they could be improved, my ideas and most importantly; your opinions about the experience and how I could better it.
Thank you very much for your time:)

This was really an uplifting blog and I was pulled along by your writing.
Creativity is not a tangible asset to some, but it is an obvious trait in so many successful etreprneurs who have made major contributions to our world.
Thank you Lincoln
Loving this blog Genesis!....it reminds me of the saying," The heights that great men reached and kept, were not attained by sudden flight, but they while their companions slept. We're toiling upward through the night." Cheerio!...as you toil through to your destiny.

I've heard it said many times that becoming successful includes studying what successful people do and modelling you own behavior and thinking to do the same.
That might be exactly what all of us here at WA are doing ... modelling our behavior around that of K&C. Certainly they are creative, but for me that feels like an explanation that is way too simple.
This could be the idea for a niche site, or at least an eBook. Here's your chance to be creative. I wish you the best.
Thank you very much, I appreciate the feedback. Certainly a few words cannot explain much of what went on when Kyle & Carson were starting out, but somewhere along their line of experience, they started to see the various aspects of website development differently.
I am writing a book for that niche too and hope to venture in it sometime in the future.
Again, thanx for the feedback.
