What about you?!
“But JA,” you say, “With everything you’ve said and done, with all your hard work, you still haven’t gotten lucky. Why should I listen to you? You’re not a millionaire bestseller.” Yet. I’m not going to become rich because I deserve it. I’m going to become rich because nothing is going to stop me. What are you going to let stop you? Via A...
