Split your 60-hour work week into three 20-hour blocks: delivery (coding, client work), distribution (sales and marketing), and investment (reading and learning). Formal education gets you a job, but continuous self-education builds wealth.
I think your workweek should have 60 hours to it. I know that sounds like a lot. Bear with me for a second. I think that there's 20 hours a week that should be doing the actual productive work, the delivery, right, of value to clients. This is where you're actually writing code. This is where you're doing support calls, whatever. There is a second 20 hours that is about sales. This is where you are out in the market. You are distributing, right, your expertise, your brand. To be getting more out there. One can look at those two things like, hey, well, that's delivery, that's distribution, that's basically a business, right? But there's a third part, and the third part is you invest. And invest, I think, for a knowledge professional means to study. Studying is not something we do just at school. The gag is that formal education will make you a living and, you know, self-education makes you a fortune. I think that's really a true thing, and that's why I'm suggesting 20 hours a week of studying, of reading, reading hard things, expanding your brain, going where you haven't gone before. That is the path to wealth.
