Dear Max,

Throughout life we are led to believe there is a mysterious secret to success and happiness. We are lead to believe that this secret is only known in small circles and only to the most influential people – namely those with money. It’s all very hush-hush and maybe, if we’re lucky, we’ll get a glimpse of their secret.

This ‘secret’ that is spoken of does not exist. Don’t listen to them. What got them to the point they are at can be one of three things: hard work, inheritance or knowing the right people.

The secret is you. You either listen to societal pressures and make someone else rich for the rest of your life, or you move forward and build your empire. Which will you choose?

Love,

Dad
