We all desperately need a change of perspective –

may we present 

#notselfmade

We got bored with all the declarations of

"self-made millionaire" and "self-made entrepreneur".

​

It was former US Governor and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger who inspired us to bring our #notselfmade Movement to life and celebrate humbleness and gratitude in a world where people seem to believe they do not need anyone. 

 

In Tools of Titans, Schwarzenegger says:

"I am not a self-made man. I got a lot of help".

​

He goes on to say: "It is true that I grew up in Austria without plumbing. It is true that I moved to America alone with just a gym bag. And it is true that I worked as a bricklayer (...).

But it is not true that I am self-made. Like everyone, to get to where I am, I stood on the shoulders of giants. My life was built on a foundation of parents, coaches, and teachers; of kind souls who lent couches or gym back rooms where I could sleep; of mentors who shared wisdom and advice; of idols who motivated me from the pages of magazines (...).”
