What is one word that millionaires love when they explain to the young kid, how do you become a millionaire? What did I do more than anybody else? What do they say? They go, work hard. That's how you get $1 million. Then you sit in front of a billionaire and you ask him, how did you become a billionaire? What do you think the billionaire says? Not work hard. The billionaire says, I think a lot about the actions that I'm going to take. And before I choose any action, I ask myself, do I have an unfair advantage that is so unreasonable that I would have to be an idiot not to win in this? They don't just work hard. They don't just work smart. They work lazily.
