Ramit Sethi reflects on being too rigid early in his career, insisting there was one right way to build wealth. He compares that dogmatism to keto or CrossFit zealotry. Now he sees that a rich life looks different for everyone, whether through business, investing, or real estate. What matters is your own vision and a plan to get there.
I think I was pretty judgmental about money when I first started. It's like anyone who gets into keto or CrossFit, they're like, you fucking need to know this. Maybe, but that's probably not the right way to reach people. I was very judgmental about how you got to a rich life. You need to do these things in this order. And truthfully, nobody really wants to hear that. So I have become a lot more compassionate. Some people want to start a business, some people want to invest, some people want to buy real estate. That's fine. As long as you have a vision of what your rich life is and you know how to get there.
