A few semi-controversial things I believe 👇
Real Estate has the highest % of "dumb rich people".

Hard work is massively overrated.
*WHAT* you work on is far more important than *HOW HARD* you work.
I'm pretty lazy. But I'm happy and successful.
Janitors work hard. Backline cooks work hard. Hard work helps you win your game. Choose the right game.

"Most people" do what "Most people" do.
This is a huge mistake. In the US:
* 50% of marriages end in divorce or separation

If you work in tech - joining a startup is a bad financial decision.
Employee #1 gets 10x or 20x LESS equity a founder gets + takes a salary cut.
Big companies pay way more, and have less stress.

Creative ppl should NOT work Monday-Friday 9-to-5 (yet 99% do this)
@naval has a great framework. Work like a LION.
- sit
- wait for prey
- SPRINT
- eat/enjoy
