10 Lessons on Making Money from 15+ Years in Finance & Business 

1 Be More Useful to Wealthy People 💡

If you want to make more money, be more useful to people who have more money. Providing value to those who are already successful can open doors to lucrative opportunities and networks.

2 Do Favors, Don’t Take Them 🤝

Doing favors builds goodwill and strengthens relationships, whereas taking favors might put you in a position of debt.

3 Keep Grinding Until You Can’t Be Ignored 🚀

The secret to success is persistence. Keep grinding and improving until you become indispensable in your field.

4 Take Risks Early 🔥

The biggest mistake in making money is waiting too late to start taking risks. The earlier you take calculated risks, the more time you have to recover and grow.

5 Protect Your Reputation 🌟

If it will make you money but degrade your reputation, don’t do it. Reputation compounds into cash.

6 Your First Deal is About Growth, Not Wealth 🌱

Your first deal won’t make you rich, it’ll make you grow. Focus on the learning experience and growth opportunities.

7 Chase Your First $500k Unapologetically

Life is just easier up until you make about $500k; then it gradually evens out. So unapologetically chase your first $500k.

8 Live Below Your Means and Invest 🏠

The key to getting rich rapidly? Live like you’re poor. Increase your income. Use your income to buy cash-flowing assets.

9 Savings Alone Won’t Make You Rich 💸

Saving won’t make you rich. Investing and creating multiple income streams will.

10 Sacrifice Today for a Better Tomorrow 🌞

Your price for better days in the future is hard, insufferable days today. Embrace the grind and sacrifices for long-term gains.
