Today's topic is 3 Stage thinker selfmade billionaires
The stage thinkers are of special interests because of 3 reasons
#1  they are among the richest
#2  they are the most influential
#3  We are all interested in the next stage (or the future) 

Stage Thinker 

Let us start with the most famous stage thinker of all time, Karl Marx

These are his stages of human development
 

While Marx is on the far left, 
the selfmade billionaires are on the far right. 

These are among the most famous, the richest and the most influential selfmade billionoare


Carlos Slim was the richest man in the world from 2010 to 2013. He is a stage thinker.  He made of his fortune from telecom, his company Telemex

 

He got his idea of the age of Technology from Alvin Toffler's famous book The Third Wave

 






Next is Jack ma.  In September 2017, Jack Ma is the richest man from China and also the richest man from Asia.

Jack Ma founded Alibaba and he believes we are moving from Era of IT (Information Technology) to Era of DT  (Data Technology) 

The third example of a stage thinker is Steve Jobs.  He thinks the computer is like the bicycle of the mind and will usher humans into a new era of unprecedented prosperity 
 
As example, Steve Jobs says the Condor is the world's most effient animal to move from Point A to Point B.

But with the bicycle human is twice as efficent as the condors

At age 26, the stage theory gave Steve Jobs the courage to fight the all powerful IBM

Are these selfmade billionaires correct?  Well, can you argue with success?


Because if you can see the next stage, you can see the future 

Also, knowing what the next stage is give you two advantages 
#1  it helps you form a VISION 
#2  it helps you form CONVICTION
