Living Poor to Die Rich (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I recently joined a professional organization to discuss various topics in wealth management. On our first Zoom call there was a debate around the use of levered long/short strategies.

Many people believe that working for yourself means unlimited flexibility. You can work where you want, when you want, and with whom you want for the rest of your life. What’s not to like?Unfortunately, things are rarely so simple. Going out on your own seldom creates the time freedom that you expect. Why? Because, as a business owner, you will still have huge deman
