追求财富, 而非金钱或权位

Seek wealth, not money or status

为什么呢？首先要清楚 财富 wealth、金钱 money、权位 status

• 财富or金钱or权位？
  • 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.
• 君子爱财，取之有道，完全可能。
  • Understand that ethical wealth creation is possible.
  • If you secretly despise wealth, it will elude you.
• 无视他人权位游戏
  • Ignore People playing status games.
  • They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creations games.
• 想要富有？
  • 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.
• 创造社会所需，形成规模
  • You will get rich by giving society what it wants but does not yet know to get. At scale.
  • Pick an industry where you can play long term games with long term people.
  • The Internet has massively broadened the possible space of careers. Most people haven’t figured this out yet.
• 复利游戏
  • Play iterated games.
  • All the returns in life, whether in wealth, relationships, or knowledge, come from compound interest.
• 创业
  • Pick business partners with high intelligence, energy, and above all, integrity.
  • Don’t partner with cynics and pessimists. Their beliefs are self-fulfilling.
• 销售+创造=所向披靡
  • Learn to sell.
  • Learn to build.
  • If you can do both, you will be unstoppable.

武装自己: 奇技、责任、杠杆

Arm yourself with specific knowledge, accountability, and leverage.

• 奇技-学徒，不可替代（护城河技能）
  • Specific knowledge is knowledge that you cannot be trained for.
  • If society can train you, it can train someone else, and replace you.
  • Specific knowledge is found by pursuing your genuine curiosity and passion rather than whatever is hot right now.
  • Building specific knowledge will feel like play to you but will look like work to others.
  • When specific knowledge is taught, it’s through apprenticeships, not schools.
  • Specific knowledge is often highly technical or creative. It cannot be outsourced or automated.
• 责任
  • Embrace accountability, and take business risks under your own name.
    - Society will reward you with responsibility, equity, and leverage. - The most accountable people have singular, public, and risky brands: Oprah, Trump, Kanye, Elon.
• 杠杆: 商业
  • “Give me a lever long enough, and a place to stand, I will move the earth.” - Archimedes
  • Fortunes require leverage.
  • Business leverage comes from capital, people, and products with no marginal cost of replication (code and media).
    • Capital means money. To raise money, apply your specific knowledge, with accountability, and show resulting good judgment.
    • Labor means people working for you. It’s the oldest and most fought-over form of leverage.
      • Labor leverage will impress your parents, but don’t waste your life chasing it.
    • Capital and labour are permissioned leverage.
      • Everyone is chasing capital, but someone has to give it to you.
      • Everyone is trying to lead, but someone has to follow you.
• 代码和媒体也是杠杆
  • Code and media are permissionless leverage.
  • They’re the leverage behind the newly rich. You can create software and media that works for you while you sleep.
  • An army of robots is freely available - it’s just packed in data centres for heat and space efficiency. Use it.
  • If you can’t code, write books and blogs, record videos and podcasts.
• 判断
  • Leverage is a force multiplier for your judgement.
  • Judgement is making decisions. Leverage magnifies the consequences of those decisions.
  • Judgement requires experience, but can be built faster by learning foundational skills.
• No –生意技能–？
  • There is no skill called “business”.
  • Avoid business magazines and business classes.
  • Study instead microeconomics, game theory, psychology, persuasion, ethics, mathematics, and computers
• 阅读并实践
  • Reading is faster than listening.
  • Doing is faster than watching.
  • You should be too busy to “do coffee,” while still keeping an uncluttered calendar.
• 个人时薪思维
  • Set and enforce an aspirational personal hourly rate.
  • If fixing a problem will save less than your hourly rate, ignore it.
  • If outsourcing a task will cost less than your hourly rate, outsource it.
• 勤奋
  • Work as hard as you can.
  • Even though who you work with and what you work on are more important than how hard you work.
  • Become the best in the world at what you do.
  • Keep redefining what you do until this is true.
• 没有捷径
  • There are no get rich quick schemes.
  • That’s just someone else getting rich off you.

Apply specific knowledge, with leverage, and eventually you will get what you deserve.

When you’re finally wealthy, you’ll realize that it wasn’t what you were seeking in the first place. But that’s for another day.
