The world will move past you if you spend time obsessing over elaborate plans & never pull the trigger on anything.

Start building. Fail fast. Sharpen the game plan. Repeat.
Many people are hesitant to build in public. There's really no better way to build.

You have thousands of people essentially working for you for free doing product testing, offering useful feedback & helping you build a machine. Use them. In fact, sweat them.
Whether it's that podcast, YouTube channel, small business, website, anything you build on Day 1 will look VASTLY different in T+6 months.

You're married to nothing except the best outcome. Rigidity suffocates innovation. Be fierce in the pursuit to change shit up.
You can score that MBA, CFA, CFP and do all the right things - you will learn MUCH more about the stock market buying your first stock.

More importantly you learn about yourself. It's a level of introspection no amount of academia will trigger.

Corporate progress relies on self-promotion, being recognizable, having a sponsor & making sure people know EXACTLY how much you contribute to the firm

"my hard work will speak for itself" doesn't always work
while you're soaking up hours every day behind your screen, John is hitting forward on your mails and taking credit for your grind - every company has a John
when it's bonus SZN and senior management is sitting in a boardroom deciding how much you get paid, the WORST place to be when your name comes up....

"hey, who is this guy?"

you're finished

True wealth encompasses non-financial utility. It's great health, strong relationships, reduced stress,, lifelong experiences, convenience & mental well-being.

Money is an enabler, not the outcome.
Failure to recognise non-financial utility is why brain-dead wealth "coaches" shout "Cut your coffee!!"

Completely ignoring the impact on your overall mood, time saved making your own coffee & the productivity uplift

Convenience is often worth more than saving a few bucks
you will waste tons of time chasing money, but you never lose money buying back time
