I'm going to get rich and this is how I’m going to do it. Now don’t take me wrong, I’m not rich yet. I did my CS degree and worked as a software developer just like my parents expected. Every day I worked for my 80k/y startup job. Then last month I was laid off. ...Permalink On twitter.com

Because of that I started looking for another job. But I don't want to have another job. Working for someone else makes me miserable. So I canceled my interviews.Permalink On twitter.com

Right now I have enough money in the stock market to buy a nice car. And I own 2 modest $ETH. But none of that is going to make me rich. But I am going to become rich.Permalink On twitter.com

First I’m going to stop selling my time for money. Then I’ll bootstrap a product. I’ll scratch my itch. It will make little money at first, so I’ll do some freelancing. But only some, so I have enough energy to improve my product.Permalink On twitter.com

There are better ways to make more money more quickly. But I am not going to use them. This product will teach me how to run a company, how to build a product and how to do marketing. It’s a long term game and I’m going to learn the rules.Permalink On twitter.com

After 2 years I make enough money to get by. Because of that I'll stop freelancing. I’m living cheep, no car, no frills.Permalink On twitter.com

Now I start my second company. I’ll look for a good market, I'll think about distribution, I’ll scratch someone else’s itch. I'll do the things a founder is supposed to do. I'll build a marketable product.Permalink On twitter.com

There are more lucrative businesses I could have build. I don’t care. I’m going to learn how to manage people, how VC money works, and how to exit.Permalink On twitter.com

I’m growing this business to $10M/y. I’ll take VC money once I find a way to grow reliably. I’ll hire people who hire people. Until finally I have a big exit. I am rich. @ShaanVP and @thesamparr invite me to the @myfirstmilpod. Life is great!Permalink On twitter.com

Then I have a midlife crisis. What am I even doing? I reached my money goals. I'm living the life. My parent's retirement is secured. What next? Then I remember!Permalink On twitter.com

Now I have financial freedom, experience and a bank. It’s time for the final step: To build MY company! A company I’m excited about. My SpaceX.Permalink On twitter.com

This company will build a product I think should exist, but nobody is willing to build or invest into. The 3D food printer, the atmospheric carbon scrubber, the photosynthesis crypto miner … Then I am really wealthy.Permalink On twitter.com

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t care for riches. I just can’t work for someone else. New challenges are what gets me out of bed in the morning. Getting rich is just going to be a side effect.Permalink On twitter.com
