If you drive a car, there’s a good chance you have Henry Ford to thank. He made cars affordable to everyone and created an industry.
However, that’s not what this blog post is about. It’s about finding your own new industry that will make you rich. During World War 1, a Chicago newspaper called Henry Ford: “An ignorant pacifist.” Henry Ford never went to school. All he had was practical knowledge. All this didn’t stop him from becoming one of the richest men in America.
Ford sued the newspaper for libel. In court, the defence called Ford to stand to prove that he really was ignorant. They asked him questions like, “How many soldiers did the British send over to America to put down the Rebellion of 1776?” To which he answered, “I do not know the exact number of soldiers the British sent over but I have heard that it was a considerably larger number than ever went back.”
This went on until Ford had enough. Finally he said, “If I should really want to answer the foolish question you have just asked or any other questions you have been asking me, let me remind you that I have a row of electric push buttons and by pushing the right button, I can summon to my aid, men who can answer any question I desire.”
That’s why Henry Ford was one of the richest men in America. He knew he didn’t have to be a genius. He only had to have the right people around him with the right knowledge to be rich.
And that’s why Henry Ford was on of the richest men in America.
You can join a company that will surround you with exactly that. You don’t have to be a genius to make a fortune.
