The Unfair Advantage Summary

The reality is in the middle of these two:

You can be unlucky and still successful (e.g. Oprah Winfrey was raised in a poor, traumatising, unstable household but still became wildly successful)

But hard work can’t undo luck in all cases (e.g. if Warren Buffett was born black or a woman or in war-torn Iraq, no matter how much he worked, he wouldn’t have the same opportunities/success he did)

 it takes money to make money e.g. you need money to fund a startup

Location matters – e.g. imagine if Warren Buffett was born in war-torn Iraq

Being in the right place at the right time involves not only location but luck too

We all have unfair advantage in life. It's just on us how we see things in a positive way. Let's use our unfair advantages as stepping stone towards our success.

It's a fundamental leg up over the competition, and sometimes it's not one that is 'earned' or worked for.
