The 1st Pillar of Wealth: Rejecting “Get Rich Slow”

If you don’t have control over your time, you don’t have control over your life. That may sound extreme, but it’s the straight truth.

As a writer, and in my life, I’ve decided that I’m not going to hold back the truth any more — I’m giving it to you straight. You MUST take control over your time and make it work for you, or else your money will be worthless to you.

It won’t save you.

There’s an old joke among investment bankers that would be really funny if it weren’t the cause of so much overwork, suffering, and untimely death:

“If you don’t come to work on Saturday, don’t bother coming to work on Sunday.”

Man…that joke is so much less funny than it would be if so many people weren’t desperate and trapped on that money treadmill.
