scaredy I would encourage you to google and learn about ebby halliday. Don’t just wiki her, try to get a little more in depth.
The bottom line to me is that with the exception of professions steeped in nepotism such as acting or politics, excelling in all professions is based on the individual. Yes there will always be outliers who were successful for luck or being in the right place at the right time, however on the average it is based on the person.
Also the quality of the individual in the profession is not always determined by wealth. For instance I know of plenty of very wealthy quillionaires and brillianaires, (engineers who happened to be at qualcomm and broadcom at the right time with lots of options) and they have lots of money. However plenty of them pale with regards to knowledge in the expertise they are in to peers at other companies who are not wealthy.
With regards to RE, Take Battiata for example. He is pretty damn successful. Does great volume. Now I may not agree with how he runs his shop but I will be the first one to say he is making great money and gets tons of listings. How did he get this way scaredy? He didn’t just fall into it. He worked his ass off, did a great job advertising, and spent countless hours year over year building himself up. Obviously he is good at what he does but it didn’t happen by circumstance or luck.
He made himself what he was. This is generally true for most professions.
