Short YouTube dialogue (Ryan Deiss) arguing that wealth doesn’t come from selling time but from identifying what society wants but can’t yet obtain, becoming the provider of that product/service, and delivering it at scale. The clip contrasts schooling with practical business—claiming there is no single skill called "business"—and emphasizes creating rare value and scaling delivery to generate profit.
You can't get rich by renting out your time. Is there really any other way to get rich? Yeah. I mean, if I had to summarize how to make money, at least from what I've learned in life, you have to. You basically get rewarded by society for giving it what it wants and it doesn't. Can I just say that this.
Looks like a hostage video?
A lot of people think you can go to school and you can study for how to make money, but the reality is there's no skill called business. What you're actually trying to figure out is what product or service does society want but does not yet know how to get? And you want to become the person who delivers that and delivers it at scale.
Yeah, I mean, I love that there's no skill called business. It's absolutely true. And this is why I'm so big, by the way, on building a profitable business. Not just a business with a compelling mission or a business with a great culture. Those things are good. But when your business is profitable, that's a sign that you're creating surplus value. When. Which is another way of saying that you're putting more out into the world than you're taking in. And if you can do that, if you can put more out than you're taking in, and you can figure out how to do that profitably at scale, then congratulations, you're doing business.
