Why Being Stubborn & Flexible is the Secret to Wealth
Wealth isn’t about strategy. It’s about staying in the game
This is the 326th consecutive post on MrEmogical Notes. If you’ve been following this series and are finding value from this blog/ newsletter, please consider sharing this post with one person who you feel needs to read this for their betterment.
Introduction
Want to know what separates wealthy people from the rest?
It’s not talent. It’s not luck.
It’s this strange mix of being stubborn and flexible at the same time.
Perspective
Most people are either too rigid or too scattered.
They either stick to one plan even when it's not working, or they keep changing directions every time something feels hard.
In both cases, they end up frustrated, stuck, and broke.
They want success, but they give up too early.
They try a new strategy, it doesn't work, and they quit.
Or worse, they stay stuck on a failing plan just because they don’t want to look like they made a mistake.
The right attitude
But here’s what the truly wealthy do differently:
They stay obsessed with the destination. They’re relentless about the goal.
But they are super flexible with the path they take to get there.
They don’t mind failing. They don’t get embarrassed.
They just treat it like data collection! “Okay, this didn’t work. What next?”
Lessons
01 - Be stubborn about the end goal.
02 - Be flexible about the route you take.
03 - Don't fall in love with strategies. Fall in love with progress.
04 - Don't get stuck trying to be right. Get committed to staying in the game.
05 - Don’t stop when it gets messy. Stop when the work is done.
That’s how the wealthy play, that’s how they win, and that’s what makes them unstoppable.
Food for thought
Ever told yourself, “I’ll keep going if this strategy works”?
Or maybe thought, “If this fails, it’s not meant for me”?
That mindset might be costing you more than you realise.
It’s not about being right. It’s about being in the game long enough to win.
