#8 Choose Yourself, James Altucher
We have to admit that the world is changing: jobs are disappearing, markets are crashing, and industries are collapsing. Companies are no longer looking for you; they don’t want to invest in your start-up and they’re not interested in choosing your services. So if nobody wants YOU, choose yourself. All you need to change the world is a worthy idea, and as increasingly more opportunity rise from the ashes, you don’t need a middleman to get things started. Invest in yourself, invest in your ideas, and never give up if you want to succeed.
