How to Get Rich (without getting lucky)
1. Seek wealth, not money or status.
• Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep.
• Money is how we transfer time and wealth.
• Status is your place in the social hierarchy.
2. Ignore people playing status games.
• They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.
3. Understand that ethical wealth creation is possible.
• If you secretly despise wealth, it will elude you.
4. You’re not going to get rich renting out your time.
• You must own equity - a piece of a business - to gain your financial freedom.
5. You will get rich by giving society what it wants but does not yet know how to get.
•At scale.
6. Pick an industry where you can play long term games with long term people.
7. The Internet has massively broadened the possible space of careers.
• Most people haven't figured this out yet.
8. Play iterated games.
• All the returns in life, whether in wealth, relationships, or knowledge, come from compound interest.
9. Pick business partners with high intelligence, energy, and, above all, integrity.
10. Don't partner with cynics and pessimists. Their beliefs are self-fulfilling.
11. Learn to sell. Learn to build.
• If you can do both, you will be unstoppable.
12. Arm yourself with specific knowledge, accountability, and leverage.
