Time is not money
Even if these two share some connections, time isn't money. Time is energy, money is a thing. And they each have power over our lives.
Money is infinite but time is not. You can always get a part-time job or start a side gig, but you’ll never be able to get back this moment or this day. Equating the two I think diminishes the value of time in a way.
Disrupting the time-money relationship
Investing and passive income disrupt the time-money relationship.
To make money without having to trade any of your time frees up your time to ultimately do things that are more important to you.
The best investing strategy
- Make as much money as you can
- Keep your expenses low
- Invest the difference
- The more you invest, the faster your money will compound and bring you more money
- Sit back and earn money with no effort. You are no longer trading your time for money.
When we believe that time is money
Our work culture promotes the ideas that time is money.
And we end up managing our money poorly so we end up wasting our time. We also trade more of our time to make more money, but if we would use that time to do things that make us happier, we would live happier lives.
Passion is money
The challenge is how do you make money and use the money to live a life that you love.
Maybe this translates into moving from full time to part-time job or moving to a different city, and in a less stressful job.

Getting comfortable with discomfort
The best things in life will most likely be hard, and if you spend your life avoiding discomfort, you’ll miss out.
One of the most important skills you can develop is being okay with a degree of discomfort. If you get good at this, you can do anything.
Thriving in uncertainty
If you can accept uncertainty, you’ll be open to many more opportunities.
If you’re afraid of uncertainty, you’ll skip starting a business, for example. You can’t really know for sure how things will turn out, and so if you have this need to control the outcome, you’ll avoid great opportunities.

The key to success
There is no such thing as the key to success.
However, being ambitious, lucky and persistent can really work. While nothing guarantees success, finding what you like and trying to become good at it are definitely important steps in that direction.
Focus on your own goals
There is a certain temptation we all feel when it comes to other people's success: check out exactly how they made it u to this level.
Nevertheless, this is not really the appropriate approach, as each individual has its own path in life: so better focus on your goal and how you plan to achieve it.
