Chasing Excellence Or Money?

Is that chasing money never works and I coach people and I know you coach people too is to chase excellence not money because the difference in lifestyle between having a hundred million dollars and having a billion dollars you know it’s it really doesn’t have to be that different? You can have everything that you ever wanted in life with a hundred million dollars. You could have everything that you really need in life with 10 or 20 million dollars. Having a billion dollars plus puts you at a level where you might be like hey I want to now impact global politics, I want to impact medicine, I want to do these kinds of really big wholesale level type changes to the world and that would really be the only thing. I mean how many houses can you live in, how many cars can you have, how many you know caviar and whatever it is meals can you possibly eat. At a certain point, it becomes redundant.

So if you’re thinking hey how do you become a billionaire what we can talk about is how people have become billionaires and a lot of that wealth you are right was created through the stock market and companies going public and people holding those shares and if you look at the ones on Forbes certainly that’s the case. Another way to do it is to become a dictator or manipulator of some type of nation-state and to steal their resources or borrow their resources in order to become wealthy.
