Cardguy, I did a hack job because I only wanted to address a few points.
There is a couple lines of thinking.
One being a scarcity mindset which typically says there is limited resources and we need to do everything to make sure we don't lose what we have because it wil be extremely hard to get more if possible.
That opposite is called the abundance mindset. There are so much out there that all we have to do is put ourselves on the path to get it. This means losing something isn't a big deal because there is a ton more out there. We just have to take it.
"Red Pill" when it comes to pussy promotes abundance. There are a ton of women out there (abundance) and oneitis (scarcity) is bad.
I don't think owning a business will automatically give you an abundance look at the world if that is what you're asking. There are plenty of business owners who have a scarcity mindset.
I would say having particular skills in demand could give you an abundance look at the world. Money is there for the taking and if you have the right skills it is rather easy.
It isn't about owning a business.
No shortcuts which is why most people are w2 earners.
Develop skills that are in demand and the money will come to you. It takes time and consistent effort on your part. I truly believe anyone can do it if they really want it. At first, you won't get paid much which is the true test to if you really want it.
It's pretty cool to make money out of thin air instead of someone else paying you for your time. Your boss is making money off of you so imagine what you would be making if you became the boss.
On a contract before I stopped doing that type of work had me in Kansas making 80+ and hour. I later found out they were charging 160 an hour for my services to this client.
Now think if you were my boss and sitting back making 80 an hour for every hour I worked while you did shit (you already got the contract with the client so the hard work is done). The company I got this contract from had about 5 other consultants in there making about the same hourly rates. I know a few were making a lot less than I was.
Most people think there is security in working for someone else. I say it is less secure whenever you rely on someone else for your day to day needs.

But - my thinking is that just as learning 'game' makes you realise that pulling tail is easier than you imagined back in your 'blue pill' days. The same could be true for starting a business. Suddenly - you don't look at money as being a swap for time you have traded away. Or as a reward for experience in the same job or piling on the qualifications. You don't look at it is a small reward for pleasing the man and playing by the rules.

Instead - you realise that there is a shortcut which allows you to get access to rewards which for most people would not be available any other way.

My qualifications are pretty shitty. So I would fall into that category. I - like many others - will be stuck in average to middling jobs since my CV is nothing special. And it is easy to feel your station in life is fixed. But - starting a business (like learning 'game') is a way of freeing yourself from that mindset and enables you to capture more of the value you think you can create.

To me that is a very 'red pill' way of thinking about shit. And a realisation that money (like pussy) isn't just something you have to beg for and hope falls into your lap. But instead is something you can plan to find and capture using your own hard work and skills.
