Want to Be the Richest Person? Try Earning One Hundred Million as a First Goal

Look at how long it’ll take you—three years? Or five? If you spend five years scraping together a hundred million, you’ll realize wow, that’s actually pretty hard. With that experience of making a hundred million under your belt, you’ll rein in your ambitions because being the richest person in the world is obviously way tougher.

Don’t go assuming a whole bunch of things upfront. Just do one thing and feel it out. Not acting and letting your imagination run wild with resentment toward this side and dissatisfaction toward that is a quality far worse than laziness.
