The best part about being wealthy: Wealth buys you time. Time is your scarcest asset. Each of us gets 24 hours per day, but it could all end at any moment. Figuring out how to get wealthy should be a priority for anyone who values their time. With wealth, you can slow time down via travel and novel experiences. You can work on things that give each day more meaning. Wealth can free you from boring tasks that make time speed away from you. But don't just measure wealth in fiat. Being wealthy doesn't mean having $30 million. Wealth is having control over your time. Wealth is participating in enriching activities that make your days rewarding. Wealth is being optimally healthy. Wealth is spending time with loved ones and making sure they also have all of the above. Money is not wealth. Money is an instrument that makes all of this possible. But money won't give it to you automatically. So how do you achieve this kind of wealth? Buddhists would say the fastest way is to reduce your desires to zero, put on some cheap rags, and meditate your way to bliss. Wise? Probably. Boring? Definitely. My life philosophy is somewhere between the Buddhists and Hunter S. Thompson's: "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!" We only get one life and I'd rather try to cram it full of as many enriching experiences as I can. So... How to get wealthy enough to enable that? It isn't by simply trading all of your time for money until you're rich. Building wealth requires that your inputs produce disproportionate outputs. And it isn't by doing something you hate with the hope of one day achieving the dream. Doing something you hate will lead to subpar output that nobody will want, and your time will be wasted. The best way to get wealthy is by creating something you want to dedicate a large amount of your time to. But it needs to be something other people in the world want as well. E.g. nobody gets anything useful from you dedicating your time to watching Netflix. But if you dedicated your time to creating the best fan YouTube channel about your favorite Netflix shows, you could build a million dollar business. Why? Because there will always be more consumers than creators. Wealth moves in a predictable direction. From the CONSUMERS to the BUILDERS, CREATORS, and DOERS. Today there are more consumers than ever. People are stuck online, in an endless search for things to consume. That means there's never been a better time to create. Take inventory of your time... Are you mostly consuming, or are you building, creating, and doing? The wealthiest people focus their time on the latter activities. And that just so happens to be where life satisfaction is hiding. Creation can fill the hole that endless consumption often creates. There are all kinds of tactical lessons to be learned about wealth creation... perhaps I'll go into some of them in future tweets. But at the end of the day it comes down to creating and selling. Focus on those activities and the wealth will come. As always, don't forget to enjoy the ride. There's still some sunshine left to squeeze out of this summer so that shouldn't be too difficult 😉
