Three things are needed to make money. Capital, a Problem, and a Container. Money making is not about you. The biggest mistakes people make in dealing with money is wrapping their identity up with a particular problem, and thinking that the price of solving that problem equates to their worth. The price of solving a problem is determined by supply and demand. Price is not value. Salary is not worth. You are not your job. Capital gradually stills the financial waves. Initially as a buffer to remove the noise, and gradually as an Engine to power what you want to do. To power your value creation. To power your worth. Not to define it. That is up to you. I am a Fundamental Investor. That means I get my money a job. What it does matters. If it solves problems, it will create Capital to power the things I value. One of my Containers is a portfolio of 20 jobs I have chosen for my money. Public Equity. Shares of businesses that anyone can buy or sell. Those businesses are not who I am. The problems they solve are not who I am. If we genuinely want to solve rather than sustain problems, we shouldn’t define ourselves by them.
