Living in the Two
Are you a two-percenter?
Do you even know what that means? It is the term used to refer to the people who are living life in the top 2% of all earners in the United States. The idea is that being one of these people is not about luck or IQ, but rather discipline, passion, risk, optimism, and interpersonal skills. It’s about self improvement and the will to change.
We probably all dream of having an income adequate enough to never really have to worry about bills and incidentals again. I know I do. I see wealth as a means to have security, better health options and the ability to pass the same along to my daughter.
There is a short test you can take online to find out if you already have the traits it takes to Live in the Two. Granted, some people are born into a particular lifestyle, but the message being conveyed by Nightingale-Conant is that through self improvement, anyone can learn to be the type of person who believes their past doesn’t predict their future and moves into the top 2% of earners. If you have 5 minutes, head on over and take the test yourself. It’s enlightening, in the least.
I took the test and my scores tell me I am a two-percenter. I’m not there yet, as far as income goes, but the test indicates I have the kind of qualities a person needs in order to simply achieve such goals. That’s good to know. Now, I just need to put my hidden talents to use.
Well, I went over there and I took the test.
I am, in good fact, a two percenter.
Let’s see how I can apply that to my life, shall we?
Hmmm…funny stuff.
