You can think of capital as your Mini-Me. In a world that defines us by our earning ability, building capital is a path to telling those voices to get knotted. If you spend money, you are firing it. If you put it to work, you are feeding your Mini-Me. Gradually that Mini-Me can grow. If you reinvest (rather than consume) a combination of what you produce, and what your Mini-Me produces, one day your Mini-Me may earn enough to be your bread winner. So you can focus on ideas that are good ideas, but not good business ideas. You can only build capital if you are not servicing past consumption (debts), and you are earning more than you are spending. There cannot be growth while you are bleeding. There cannot be growth without breathing space. But if you can hold space for, and look after your Mini-Me, with time and care it can grow to hold space for you.
