Erect

English to Spanish Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
En un artículo de una revista de negocios sobre estrategias de crecimiento empresarial, encuentro el verbo "erect", pero no logro que sus acepciones más conocidas encajen en el siguiente contexto.

Gracias por sus aportes.

"In the day of the millionaire magnates (Bernard Arnault, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Larry Ellison, Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, etc.), a man must make up his mind to be rich, or he will erect nothing.
Believing in oneself is the first critical step toward accomplishing any goal, including achieving wealth..."
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Toni Castano

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

levantar/construir

Sería algo así como que, si no tienes una actitud positiva, no lograrás tus objetivos.
Viendo a las personas que se nombra, creo que se refiere a levantar/construir una empresa, un imperio económico, etc.
