The Self Made Dropouts Society is greatly inspired by "UNSCRIPTED" by MJ DeMarco. Here are some key points from the book.
The Script is society's default path: go to school, get a job, save for retirement, and hope to enjoy life at 65. This system benefits corporations and the rich but traps the average person in mediocrity.
The Scripted Life promotes working for others, trading time for money, and delaying freedom until old age.
To achieve wealth and freedom, you need to go Unscripted, meaning breaking away from societal norms and rejecting the idea that time equals money.
The key is entrepreneurship, which offers unlimited potential for wealth and independence.
True wealth isn't just money, it's control over your time. Being rich means having the freedom to live life on your own terms, whenever you want.
Trading time for money (a job) limits your earning potential. Instead, creating a scalable business allows you to generate wealth without needing to constantly trade hours for dollars.
Leverage is a central concept: leveraging time, resources, people, and technology to build something bigger than yourself.
DeMarco emphasizes creating systems and businesses that can scale, so your income isn't tied directly to your personal effort.
Wealth is created by effecting millions of people. The more lives you impact, the greater your potential for wealth.
To build significant wealth, your business should provide value to many people (or a HUGE amount of value to a smaller group.)
DeMarco advocates for building a Fastlane business—one that can grow and scale quickly, generating significant wealth in a short time.
Focus on building a business that solves a problem, provides value, and is scalable. Avoid businesses that just create another "job" for yourself.
Once wealth starts flowing in, avoid lifestyle inflation—where your expenses grow in line with your income, keeping you financially stuck.
Maintain control over your spending and focus on investing in assets that will continue to grow your wealth.
Success begins with a mindset shift. To live Unscripted, you need to think differently, challenge the norms, and be willing to take risks.
DeMarco stresses the importance of personal responsibility—you’re in control of your financial destiny, not the government, not a job, not a degree.
DeMarco emphasizes choosing freedom over the security and comfort that the traditional path offers. Being Unscripted means taking risks but gaining full control of your life.
It’s about living life on your terms, not being chained to a job or a paycheck.
Finally, execution is key. You can have the best ideas, but if you don’t take action, you won’t get anywhere.
Persistence and adaptability are critical. Entrepreneurship isn't easy, but it’s the path to true freedom and wealth.
These points capture the essence of DeMarco's message: to live life Unscripted means breaking away from societal expectations, focusing on entrepreneurship, and creating a business that allows for financial independence and time freedom.
