Add Time to Boring


The idea that wealth comes from stumbling across some earth-shattering breakthrough is because of our obsession with outliers. Boring doesn’t make for good storytelling. But add time to the right kind of boring, and that is where real change happens. Change that silently compounds on strong foundations until the “over-night” success is identified years after the fact. Start from where you are. Find a way to earn. Build a Buffer between what you earn and what you spend. Build that Buffer into an Engine. Give that Engine space and time to breathe and grow. One day, it will be able to look after you.
