Bloomberg News’ Post

Yes, this is a little click-baity, but the principle is sound: “I wanted to make enough money so I didn’t have to respond to anybody else,” Cuban said in a recently released MasterClass course. “I could make my own schedule and live my own life the way I wanted to do it.” Easy to say and understand if you have Mark Cuban's wealth, but creating your own version of it is a habit of mind. Beginning that path takes far less $ than you think, because the money is only a lever to amplify the way you think about things and the actions you take. Take Elon Musk. He is on again/off again, the richest person in the world. Yet, almost everything he does is a REACTION to what other people do. If he was mentally in control of his time and his emotions, we would know a lot less about Elon and a lot more about his companies. It's not about how much $ you have that determines how beholden you are to the clock or anything else. It isn't a binary outcome. We are never completely in control of our time, we are never the full engineer of our successes and failures. Through circumstance and our intentional commitments, we always have to dance with what life throws at us. The point here is not some fantasy of god-like control of our time, it is to replace money as the primary metric of success. (And, yes, I have a lot of the markings and many of the realities of privilege. What I say here is of course a reflection of that in some ways, despite how universal I consider the principle to be) With money understood as only a powerful lever, the primary goal of success is the ability to choose what you do and when you do it. Like any metric, your focus should be on moving the needle. There are few true examples of 0 or 100% on this particular scale. The only truth about a 0 or a 100 is that luck played a huge role in putting them there, and it is not a 1:1 relationship to their human worth. If you had time to read this far and do a bit of reflection, then realize you have a bit of Mark Cuban's wealth already.

Failure is an inevitable part of life—personally and professionally. But it’s how you respond to failure that largely determines whether you’ll be successful going forward. Check out this seven-step process for “autopsying” failed ventures that self-made billionaires use to get back in the game.

He is Sam Zell. He sold his company for $39 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 right before the 2008 crash. He owned 80,000 𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 by the time he died. Known as "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫," Zell made billions buying unwanted properties from desperate sellers. Here are 6 wealth-building lessons from the greatest investor of our lifetime: 1. "If It ain't fun, We don't do it." Zell applied this to everything, from company culture to deals. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞. 2. Always leave money on the table. Zell once overpaid $1 million to build long-term relationships, valuing them over short-term gains. 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐳𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬. 3. Nobody wins if they don’t play. 90% of success is accidental, but it only happens if you're in the game. 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨, 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 𝐒𝐨 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐮𝐜𝐤. 4. Control downside and control risk. Prepare for the worst, not just hope for the best. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞. 5. When everyone goes right, go left. Look at the self-made billionaires of the world. How did they get rich? 𝐈𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠. 6. Listen to your own song. Ignore outside opinions. Someone will always have an opinion. The only one that matters is yours. 𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐞. P.S. You can only invest once you have enough cash.

Comparison is the thief of joy! Don't ever forget that. It's easy to get caught up in the hoopla of seeing people post about becoming "financially free in 2 years" Yes, it has happened for some. The minority. Will it happen for you? Maybe! But do not compare your journey with those of others, especially those you see on the internet. Everyone is running their own race. Real estate is a marathon, not a sprint! #comparison #realestate #investing
