Why aren't more people making money today?
The answer might surprise you—and it has nothing to do with economic cycles or opportunity gaps.
Wealthy people consistently demonstrate one trait that broke people lack: initiative. They take action. They move first. They don't wait for permission.
But here's the uncomfortable truth: research shows that initiative levels are lower today than at any measurable point in human history. We're seeing a generation-spanning decline in the willingness to act, to risk, to push forward without guarantees.
What's causing it? The usual suspects get ignored because they're inconvenient. Fluoride in our water supply. Soy in our food—lowering testosterone and drive. These aren't fringe theories anymore. The data is there for anyone willing to look past the sanitized narratives.
People 30, 40, 50 years ago simply had more fire. More grit. They moved differently. And if you want to build wealth in this environment, you need to reclaim that edge—starting with what you're putting in your body and what you're allowing into your mind.
Initiative isn't just a personality trait. It's a biochemical and environmental reality. And right now, the environment is engineered to keep you passive.
Are you willing to do what it takes to break free?
