I remember when I just got into crypto back in 2019 but later in 2020 I ended up selling it because I was dumb and I didn't understand it. I studied and learned and now I know how it works. Got back into crypto early in 2023 with 10k and I’m up with 128k in a short period of time . I was able to build a business from my returns

There are thousands of people doing the exact same thing and after ten years they became insolvent or hardly can pay rent. So this is not about how to do something right. It is about how Paul has the karma to become rich. Karma to become rich means that in your past life you did good things for other people. So it just happens miraculously. If Paul would have opened a food store he would also be a billionaire right now. It is not about that he did this and that. The question is of course, whether this is the goal of life, to become rich? A life in luxury lasts for maybe twenty, or thirty years or maybe fifty years and when we leave we can't take anything with us.

Never have we ever sold even one share of stock...

That’s the thing. Not everyone Can do this, because not everyone wants to be wrong with how they handle their life. Pride will hold you down like a professional wrestler. Millions of people can hear this advice, but how many people can admit they are living the wrong way and come to accept that they will not be miserable. The old saying you have to spend money to make money is painfully true and most people find it too scary to spend big or small on something that make yield absolutely nothing. You got to think things through and you have to be open to suffering, and you have to be able to stand back up after a huge blow/commit to a sinking ship in hopes it can make it back to land. Regardless business risky and I’m not above calling it gambling. Playing it safe is why most people will stick to their safe factory jobs but these jobs sap energy, and usually the safety will prevent trying risky things because all that hard work for the small bag could disappear at one wrong move and they will have to start all over again with the shitty work life balance they really don’t want to do

No matter what your definition of success is, the important thing is to stick to your goals and work toward them.

At the same time, we must also understand that everyone's path is different, and we cannot define our own value by the success or failure of others. What do you think?

He was sitting at a table doing paperwork while I was working around him and he gave me some advice about starting my own restoration business and it was spot on !!! I didn’t realize owned the entire company until this video almost 30yrs later

We are in a time now where everyone wants to own a business to “buy a Bugatti” but he in the other said, “it’s important you take care of your people”. I also loved that he touched upon it being a huge responsibility and burden instead of a piece of cake.

I walked into Kinkos and was able to chat with the manager - I mentioned I was trained on all the machines and equipt I could see in their store - she hired me on the spot for 20hrs a week. Was the best college job and am forever grateful. Great management and esprit de corps, especially when we were slammed.

the ending comments were his best. 100% agree with the idea of success being defined by our children wanting to spend time with us in the end. we should also look after ourselves so that they can do that with us in a reasonably good way. i was on a walk with my 8yo boy (i am 50yo) today when he exclaimed his enjoyment and gratefulness for our moment together, and as i recount that now, it sinks in just a bit deeper on how important it is to build those moments with our children. it's what builds the foundation for their future. i fear we're living in times where we have allowed ourselves to become disconnected from this importance. i continue to struggle with being present to this.

The term celebrity is just a term the general public use, it's quite a lazy term as we assume it means they're a movie star or famous. There are plenty of so called "celebrities" who would sit down and have a conversation about money. Buffet, Gates, Musk, the list goes on have all sat down and discussed money and wealth. It's a very healthy thing to do. Never make assumptions about people you don't know, calling them arrogant etc, it reflects worse on you. Happy Christmas and new year man
