1. Master one of the 4 money-making skills: Selling, Making, Hunting, Designing. Become the top 20% at 2 of these. 2. Turn your skills into a business using either Code, Content, or Capital. Don't rent your time. Own Equity. 3. Be impatient with actions but patient with results. Success takes time and persistence. 4. Proximity is power. You've to be close to the people who are doing what you want to do. Speed up your development by being as close to like-minded people as possible. Take actions that will make it unreasonable for you to fail.

Selling doesn’t work like that. You’re on your own and you report to your boss. You have nobody to sit next to.

I misinterpreted the title. I thought it meant "How to Get Rich (without effort)". That's what I'm really looking for.
