In this episode, Carl challenges the notion that financial support from parents, often referred to as the "bank of mum and dad," is essential for achieving wealth and success. Drawing from personal experiences, Carl shares stories of entrepreneurial ventures from a young age, including selling sweets and running a quasi-casino game at school, which fostered creativity and resilience.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Self-Reliance Over Family Support: Wealth and success do not solely depend on financial support from parents. Many individuals can achieve their goals through their own efforts and creativity. Value of Personal Investment: Investing your own money in a business or project often leads to more careful decision-making and a greater sense of responsibility compared to using funds from external investors. Creativity in Generating Income: Finding unique ways to make money, such as selling sweets or organizing games, can lead to financial independence and entrepreneurial skills from a young age. Opportunities Exist Beyond Traditional Employment: The traditional 40-hour work week is outdated, and individuals should explore various side hustles and opportunities that align with their skills and interests to generate income. Resilience and Adaptability: Building resilience through personal experiences and challenges can lead to greater success. Embracing opportunities and being proactive in seeking solutions is essential for financial growth and stability. BEST MOMENTS"Never will I ever become wealthy without the bank of mum and dad. This is absolute nonsense." "When it's your own money that you're investing, you take every decision that little bit extra carefully." "The bank of mum and dad do not have to be the determining factor in whether you're successful or not." "You can get the deposit through the side hustles that we can go through with you on our channel."
