I like to think that if I lost all my money and you dropped me on a random street in any English-speaking country, within five or ten years I’d be wealthy again because it’s just a skillset I’ve developed that anyone can develop.It’s not really about hard work.You can work in a restaurant eighty hours a week, and you’re not going to get rich.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.If you don’t know yet what you should work on, the most important thing is to figure it out.You should not grind at a lot of hard work until you figure out what you should be working on.I came up with the principles in my tweetstorm (below) for myself when I was really young, around thirteen or fourteen.I’ve been carrying them in my head for thirty years, and I’ve been living them.Over time (sadly or fortunately), the thing I got really good at was looking at businesses and figuring out the point of maximum leverage to actually create wealth and capture some of that created wealth.
