One of the best lessons to learn early in life is how it feels to make money by the hour, as a salary, and through self-employment. They are profoundly different. I know people happily employed in each mode. I also know people who are dissatisfied because their personality doesn’t match their earning style.

Earning styles are like relationship styles. Might not need to try every one of them, but if dissatisfied, they are among the things to think about.

One of my best lessons early in life was how it felt to make money doing manual labor. Had a summer job doing manual labor at like age 16. It paid well for a 16 year old, but man I hated it. One of my childhood best friends still does work like that. He loves it. He could never ever sit at a desk.

Very true. I’ve only ever been a “salary man”, but making some (modest) gains day trading crypto for fun has opened my mind to the limitless/uncapped $ potential for someone able to consistently excel at what they do. That’s a very novel perspective for someone earning a predictable amount of $ every month.

I like this framing a lot. Give you maximum coverage to explore your own style will also teaching you: -Value of a dollar -Value of time -Value accrual

Moving from "hours for dollars" to untethering time worked/money earned is a huge mindset shift. Most adults have to ask permission to do things like take a day off, or even take a long lunch break. I understand why, it just seems so strange that this is still how the world works.

One is scalable because earnings are not tied to labour. To have leverage on earnings these must be decoupled.
