You’re not going to get rich renting out your time. Don’t Chase Money, Build Wealth
"Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth."
Most people try to become wealthy by chasing dollars.
Create wealth by building systems that work for you.

Prioritise Owning Equity

"You're not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity - a piece of a business - to gain your financial freedom."

Trading time for money is a losing game. The real wealth comes from ownership.

Don’t be an employee. Be an owner.

Build Or Sell
"Learn to sell. Learn to build. If you can do both, you will be unstoppable."
• Build: The ability to create value
• Sell: The ability to communicate that value
Doing both is an unbeatable combination.

Focus On The Long Game

"Play long-term games with long-term people." Success compounds over time.

Surround yourself with people who think decades ahead, not just quarters.

Your network is your net worth; build it strategically.

Productize Yourself

Package your knowledge into a product that can be sold repeatedly.

Identify your unique combination of talents. Turn your expertise into a scalable offering.

Knowledge as a product is unlimited leverage.

The Possibilities Are Endless

"The internet has massively broadened the possible space of careers. Most people haven't figured this out yet."

The rules of wealth creation have changed. The internet allows you to reach billions.

Grow your personal brand and capitalize on it.

Create Automated Offers

"Code and media are permissionless leverage. They're the leverage behind the newly rich. You can create software and media that works for you while you sleep."

Learn to code or create content.

Both allow you to scale your impact infinitely.

Anyone Can Create Leverage

"If you can't code, write books and blogs, record videos and podcasts."

You don't need to be technical to create scalable offers. Content creation is accessible to everyone.

You need leverage to build wealth.

You Decide Your Worth

"Set and enforce an aspirational personal hourly rate. If fixing a problem will save less than your hourly rate, ignore it."

My hourly rate is $5K/hr. Anything below that, I delegate or automate.

Your time is your most valuable asset; protect it.

Learn Constantly

"Study microeconomics, game theory, psychology, persuasion, ethics, mathematics, and computers."

Wealth creation requires a diverse skill set. Continuous learning is non-negotiable.

Build an uncommon skill combination to create unique value.
