tldr of @naval’s timeless wisdom.
key = time

1. Stop trading time for a paycheck.

2. Buy time: quit, cut distractions, focus.

3. Use your time to create income-generating assets.

4. Reinvest profits to buy even more time.

5. Repeat until you own 100% of your time.

it’s the trigger for eternal paralysis. the universe only helps those who are not afraid of sparking their own unique momentum.

we don’t own our ideas. the ideas just land on us, and pass by unless we do something with them.
