Only dreamers have the vision, optimism and confidence to ride 100-baggers and 1000-baggers...
The rest of them dump for a double or triple and are thrilled to walk away and look for the next "great trade"
It's the same for the great CEO's as well... Musk, Bezos and soon to be Peterson...
You think Musk spends his time calculating expenses using a spreadsheet?
Bezos was criticized for the past 15 years for excessive spending at the expense of profitability -- take a look at his critics -- none of them are wealthy visionaries.
Great CEO's and investors who attain wealth from running or investing in early stage growth companies both share the capacity to dream and dream extensively.
So while being a visionary dreamer is often a mandatory pre-requisite for success in this domain, whether one is the architect of a business or the investor, it is not sufficient as a sole quality to attain such rare levels of wealth.
There are other qualities one must possess to be a member in the 99th percentile...
CEOs and investors of early stage growth companies alike must have the capability of strategizing, networking, delegating and leading.
They must be highly analytical, constantly evaluating and re-evaluating, able to adjust at a moment's notice or stubbornly stand one's ground in the face of massive opposition when one knows his viewpoint is correct.
Non-conformity is another essential quality, as is the ability to predict how competitors think, along with unusual patience and tenacity.
There are so many others but I'm not penning a thesis so I'll stop right here.
So not only "can" we dream, but we "should" dream if our goal is massive wealth.
But that is not the only thing we should do...
A mix of speculation based on vision, dreaming and conjecture, along with developing a deep understanding of the sector, one's competitors, the unusual traits that mark the unicorn company/stock... Along with avoiding falling into the trap of oversimplification and realizing that things are endlessly complicated, while also striving to unearth and measure as many factors as possible... Constantly ensuring that cognitive flexibility is always available in certain domains while simultaneously maintaining a focused singularity of cognitive processes in others which require it...
It really is infinitely complicated...
And then some just get really lucky and don't need to do all this other stuff, lol
