Money is about value, not time

Money is about value, not time

You are paid in proportion to the perceived value of your work. Not based on how hard you work: A handyman may work hard, but his work is easily replaceable so he will make less money than a lazy accountant.

The most valuable employees are the ones working on the biggest problems. The richest people are those who solve a problem for billions.ย 

If you want money, stop chasing money. Look for big problems and come up with solutions. The market will reward you generously.ย

The myth of corrupt millionaires

The myth of corrupt millionaires

We have grown up to see money as the tool of evil for corrupt individuals. However, more than 60% of millionaires are self-made. They started from 0 and built their empires one brick at a time.

This includes people like:

  • Warren Buffet
  • Howard Schultz (ex Starbucks CEO)
  • Oprah Winfrey
  • Jeff Bezos
  • Elon Musk
  • etc...

They worked hard, on problems that affected millions. And they came up with solutions that scale.ย

Money = Freedom

Money = Freedom

Money is just a belief. A number on a screen. What we want is the feeling of freedom: The ability to do what we want, when we want it, without having to think if we afford it or not.
