Part of your heritage in this society is the opportunity to become financially independent.

Rohn frames financial independence not as a rare privilege reserved for a few, but as a built-in possibility within a free, market-based society—something like an inherited civic “birthright.” The line reflects his broader motivational theme that individuals should take responsibility for their economic lives by learning skills, exercising discipline, and pursuing opportunity rather than resigning themselves to circumstance. It also implies a moral dimension: if the opportunity exists, one has an obligation to recognize it and act. At the same time, the wording is aspirational—“opportunity” acknowledges that outcomes vary, but insists that the chance to pursue independence is a defining feature of the society he is addressing.
