After launching over 20 ventures in 25 years, only three actually made him wealthy. They weren't the flashiest or hardest-working projects, but the boring ones: predictable, low-stress businesses that delivered the highest returns. The real lesson is picking the right type of business, not grinding harder.
I've started over 20 businesses over the last 25 years, and only 3 of them made me wealthy. Not because I got smarter. It definitely not because I worked harder, but because I stopped choosing the wrong type of business. The irony is, is that the 3 businesses that paid me the most were actually less stressful and more predictable and frankly, almost boring. And that's the real lesson. Success isn't just about effort alone. It's about choosing the right vehicle for the journey you want to go on.
