Financial freedom takes 2 to 10 years of boring, consistent work: start a business, reinvest profits, make small investments. Most people quit before compounding kicks in, chasing get-rich-quick schemes instead.
If you knew how close you were to financial freedom, you would stop doubting and you would start doubling down. You can create the beginning of financial freedom in about two years, and you can experience most of it in 10 years. And you don't have to do anything crazy to be able to do it. If all you did was invest a small amount of money into long term investments that you're never going to touch, you will get far further ahead than all the crypto bros. And all the people who are flashing Lambos on Instagram. The way that you develop financial freedom is you start a business and you invest the Prof. And the way that you do both of those things is way more boring than anyone likes to admit. In fact, most people will quit after six to 12 months because it's not happening fast enough. But the compounding returns that happen after two years mean that you probably can have a million dollar business.
