Salutations. I want to create a secret society for success.

As we all know, life is all about connections and experiences. The right experiences can take someone from a basement dwelling perma-virgin to Elon Musk. The lifestyles and social environmemt afforded to the lower classes, regardless of how much potential they may have, breeds failure and mediocrity, with few exception.

It's no coincidence that so many of life's greats went to the same few schools. The self-made man is a myth, not to deride actual ingeniuty and hard-work, but your lot in life has more to do with the family you were born to and the connections you make rather than your own exceptionalism. A pair of identical twins, one adopted by ivy educated parents and the other by a lower-middle class family, will have vastly different experiences in life. Indeed, one could be said to have been blessed with good pedigree, while the other is born into a cycle of ignorance, strife and servility.

That's where most Channers, indeed most humans, find themselves. Personally, I'm not content with being an insignificant pawn in the one life afforded to me. My personal goal is to make it to a prestigious university [ivy/oxbridge] within 5 years, I want to have that experience in my life before I'm 25, and I believe I won't put that education or life experience to waste for the advancement of the human race.

That's why I'm saving up most of my paychecks for college, but I'm not surrounded by any good influences or people who could help me out, and with how much I'm making I'd have to save up for a decade. That's why I'd rather create my own system, for people like me who want a complete and total break from the monotony and retardation of working class life.

The catch is we're going to need generous benefactors who want to contribute to our cause to get this off the ground. With time people who have benefited from the society will become the benefactors. Our credo is that we're all committed to self improvement and success. Joining as a non-benefactor means you're signing up to become a life-long member. If you ever fall short of the credo, we'll try and support you as long as you are still committed to the credo.

This is not a cult, this is not a religious or political society, it is a secret society dedicated to helping one another to achieve success and provide the best achievable human experience to members, and some sort of return on investment for benefactors. If this society is even mildly successful we'll be generating enough wealth to feed back into the system.

I know this is all very out there, but Cambridge university began as a handful of aspiring but impoverished wannabe scholars a few wealthy benefactors. If the intentions are noble enough and the right people get on board, you can create greatness.

This is a thread I'm opening for discussion. The actual secret society I want to start will be a fair deal more secret. Currently I'm more interested in finding a benefactor/patron [or"""sugar daddy""""] to contribute financially to my advancement. I'm workig my ass off for peanuts right now, but with a little luck I can meet someone with more money than they know what to do with who finds my ideas fascinating.

Many of the greatest men in history relied on generous patronage; Chopin, Michelangelo, Spinoza, even Karl Marx.

Maybe Warren Buffet could adopt all of us and we'd only have to suck his dick on Thursdays, but he'll "invest" in us to become the best we can be.

I did Engineering at Cambridge (Churchill)

I really do not know what you expect to get from Cambridge. I think you have mistaken it for Hogwarts.

Its a great uni, and I had the time of my life. But its like anywhere else: most people are not entrepreneurial or insanely wealthy and going to give you money for no reason.

I have some friends who have done startups. One of them got a billionaire as a seed investor. It doesnt guarantee his greatness at all. He just finished series A in techstars and has 20 employees now. He will be worth 10-30 Mil eventually I reckon.

The best you can do is work towards making 10Mill or so and hope that you get lucky with product/market positioning and distribution channels and get a 10x multiplier.

If you want my advice its this: build a good cashflow business thats

Most of the most successful people I know didnt even go to uni, they just started companies and grew them.

These rich investors are only going to give you a shot after youve done a few companies on your own and got reoccurring revenue coming in. Focus on cashflow businesses before ultrascalable-but-high-investment-needed-tech-startups. Stop looking at how to be a billionaire and start looking at getting £300k a year in semi passive income - when you are at that point you can create truly innovative tech startups without needing to rely on giving up 90%+ of the company before getting to a cashflow positive point

I'm interested, OP. The only path I can think of is cold approaching with good sales tied in.

University education and facilities are a minor contribution compared to the alumni network one has access to.

i don't know why you thought such a thing would ever go anywhere, especially on an anonymous internet forum.

you'd have infinitely more success panhandling at intersections honestly.

Right…

Reality check. All secret societies for success are exclusive by some degree. So who do you filter out? Race? Religion?Income level? IQ level? The ability to speak fluent Klingon?

Also, what's in it for the members? Do you have to pay dues? What are the material benefits for joining your super duper secret cult?

>The self-made man is a myth

That's false, I myself know people from my own family that were self-made men.

No women; no objections.

A well-rounded and foolproof standard for self-made 'success'.

Reasonable flexibility and security.

Benefits would include a network of acquainted power.
