You Don’t Need a 5-Year Plan. You Need a Direction. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I used to think I needed to know exactly where my life was going. I thought the smart thing to do was figure out what I wanted, make a plan, and then stick to it. The more specific the plan, the better. Where I wanted to live, how much money I wanted to make, what I wanted my career to look like, what I wanted to build, and what everything would look like five or ten years from now. It sounds responsible, and sometimes it is. But the older I get, the less convinced I am that most people actually
Stop Setting Goals. Start Building Systems. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve always been a goal-oriented person. Give me a number to hit, a problem to solve, or something I want to accomplish, and I can get pretty obsessive about figuring out how to make it happen. For a long time, I thought that was one of my biggest strengths. And it is, to a point. Goals give you direction, create urgency, and make it easier to measure progress. But I’ve also learned that a goal can become a surprisingly bad way to run your life.The problem isn’t having goals. The problem is what
How to Buy Back Your Time Before You’re Rich (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For a long time, I thought having more freedom was mostly a financial problem. I assumed that once I made enough money, everything else would become easier. I could travel more, work less, spend more time with people I cared about, and have more control over my days. So naturally, I focused on making more money. But there’s a problem with waiting for money to create your freedom: you can become very good at making money while simultaneously building a life that requires more and more of your tim
The Freedom Number: How to Figure Out How Much Money You Actually Need (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the biggest mistakes I see people make when thinking about freedom is choosing a financial number first and then trying to build their life around it. They decide they need $10,000 a month, $20,000 a month, or $1 million in the bank, and then spend years working toward a number without ever asking what that number is actually supposed to accomplish.I used to think about money this way too. More money obviously sounded better, and having more would create more options. But eventually I rea
The Life Audit I Wish I Had Done Years Earlier (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the biggest changes in how I think about my life is that I no longer judge it primarily by what I have accomplished. That might sound strange coming from someone who is ambitious and still wants to build businesses, make money, travel, and create more freedom. I absolutely care about those things. I just don’t think they’re enough to tell me whether my life is actually going well.For a long time, I measured progress almost entirely through external things. Was I making more money? Was the
