What do actual rich people do? What I was doing was what I thought rich people do. And it turns out the way they think about money is completely different than most of us think. Most of us take on a lot more risk than actual rich people do. The number one rule of the wealthy is to never lose money. And what I was doing was going out and spraying and praying and shotgunning my capital everywhere and hoping that I was going to strike it big and invest in the next Uber when all I should have really been doing was transitioning to be a defender of wealth and protecting what I had already built.
