Stop earning hard-earned money.

The essence of hard-earned money is:

The harder you work, the more you're controlled by the times;

The more effort you put in, the less results you get.

Why?

Because hard-earned money trades time for small change, while easy money trades knowledge for the future.

Look around you—

No one who truly makes money gets rich by being "tired":

They rely on models, systems, trends, connections, compound interest, leverage…

Anything but sheer luck.

Hard-earned money can feed you, but only easy money can change you.

Hard-earned money exhausts you; easy money elevates you.

So remember:

Hard work won’t make you rich—it’ll only make you old.

If you want change, first switch tracks, then switch methods.
