Warren Buffet on the thing money can't buy...

"Basically, when you get to my age, you'll really measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have love you actually do love you...
...I know people who have a lot of money, and they get testimonial dinners and they get hospital wings named after them.

But the truth is that nobody in the world loves them...
...if you get to my age in life and nobody thinks well of you, I don't care how big your bank account is, your life is a disaster.

That's the ultimate test of how you have lived your life. The trouble with love it that you can't buy it. You can buy sex...
...you can buy testimonial dinners. You can buy pamphlets that say how wonderful you are.

But the only way to get love is to be lovable. It's very irritating if you have a lot of money...
...you'd like to think you could write a check: I'll buy a million dollars' worth of love.

But it doesn't work that way. The more you give love away, the more you get."

-Warren Buffet

9 years later, he's up to $325k/year and counting.

How'd he do it?

Shortly after starting his job, he invested $3k in a stock called Vertical Integration Systems

He sold it for $155k

His net worth immediately jumped to around ~$160

Then, he took an employment chance...

Formula for Financial Freedom

5 simple steps

//THREAD//
You have a typical 9-5 job, and you want financial freedom.

The thing is, you're not sure how to do it.

You watch all of these gurus giving you different advice, but quite honestly, it's overwhelming.

You're not sure what to do, so you end up doing nothing.
Like you, I struggled to identify what I needed to do to set myself up for financial freedom.

That's why I'm creating Formula for Financial Freedom, a step-by-step process to help you achieve financial freedom.

1/ @airbnb property management

I've been mulling on this idea for a while

I think it is a great opportunity to get exposure to real estate given the current state of the market.
2/ The market is severely inflated.

It's very difficult to find deals at the moment.

In order to compensate for this, I am considering pursuing Airbnb Rental Management.

0/ How to become a better decision-maker

Understand the mental model the MAP is NOT the TERRITORY

Here’s how it works and why it’s one of the most helpful concepts for everyday life.

THREAD👇🧵
1/ When we have a problem we wish to solve, we turn to people who have solved that problem to ask them for answers.

This is seeking the map.

Don't seek the map.
2/ Maps show us where to go. They give us DIRECTION.

But that's all they do. They don't tell us exactly what we need to do. In fact, NOTHING tells us exactly what we need to do.

The internet has popularized the idea that there is a certain roadmap to success - this is false.
