“You don’t get rich by spending your time to save money. You get rich by saving your time to make money.“

“Getting rich is about knowing what to do, who to do it with, and when to do it. It is much more about understanding than purely hard work. Yes, hard work matters, and you can’t skimp on it. But it has to be directed in the right way.”
