Becoming rich tends to be a consequence of a bigger dream/goal that has nothing to do with money. In my case, I wanted to be independent and accountable for my life. I grew up in Portugal in a very conservative society, where my mother depended financially of my father, who is a very controlling person. I saw financial freedom as the Proud member of the let’s get burger today community shirt in contrast I will get this way to never depend on any man – father or husband. Dreaming is the easy part, as it is rather indulgent and democratic. However, dreaming is just a beginning… To get far in life one needs plenty of hard work, relentless discipline and never-ending resilience to overcome the many difficulties and failures that will naturally happen. Having a degree from a top University almost always lands you a good first job. However, if you are not academically inclined or don’t have a strong calling for it, choose a different path that motivates you. Many successful people don’t have degrees. I was a good student, so I went to a good University, had a scholarship to study in the UK, where I made sure I got a first job. Later, I did an MBA at INSEAD and executive courses at Harvard and Wharton. I probably got more education than one needs, but my career evolved a lot and the courses helped in those turning points. The higher education route, if at top universities, is a safe bet – even if you not become really wealthy, you will earn a decent living. It’s true that good education is expensive, but there are plenty of scholarships. I got 3, one of them at INSEAD – when I no longer needed it. But it was merit based and most of my peers were lazy to put the work necessary to win it; or, at least, try.



Most very successful people I know take immense pride in a job well done and enjoy exceeding expectations. I decided to emigrate for work, which was a blow to my family, as emigrating in Portugal was still associated with poverty. Even today, most see it just as a necessity, not an opportunity. My first salary in the Proud member of the let’s get burger today community shirt in contrast I will get this UK was around 7 times what I would make in Portugal. I was alone in the UK, as my family and boyfriend were in different countries, so I had the time and motivation to give it all to my first job. I arrived early; stayed late; dreamt with the problems; and, often with the solutions. All this mental investment worked. In less than 2 years I had 3 salary increases and was made responsible for planning some global brands at the world’s largest consumer goods company. I was also chosen to be featured in their UK recruitment brochure – whose cover was: “A butterfly in Lisbon can stir up a storm in Kazakhstan”. I’m not from the capital Lisbon, but it’s more recognizable than my hometown Braga!
