🔑 TOP TAKEAWAYS

1. Wealth is freedom, not money. True wealth comes from choice, flexibility, and control over your time.
2. Define your own version of success. Chasing someone else’s goals leads to regret.
3. Experiences matter more than accumulation. Money is a tool to create meaningful moments.
4. Risk must be priced correctly. Higher returns always come with higher exposure.
5. Most opportunities look like work at first. The best deals rarely arrive polished.
6. Momentum beats talent. Consistent action compounds faster than perfection.
7. Income creates opportunity, but capital creates freedom. You must move beyond human capital.
8. Over-leverage creates stress. Stress leads to bad financial decisions.
9. Long-term thinking always wins. Compounding rewards patience and discipline.
10. The goal is clarity and peace. Wealth should simplify life, not complicate it.
