The order of wealth—many people get it wrong from the very beginning. It’s not about investing first, starting a business first, or even gambling on a single opportunity first. The real order is: first, control your desires and learn to keep your money; then, use your money to invest in yourself and increase your scarcity; then, use your ability to continuously generate higher cash flow; finally, let that cash flow turn into assets, so the assets work for you. Most people can’t make money not because they don’t work hard enough, but because they always want to skip the earlier accumulation and go straight to the last step. Wealth has never been about a lucky leap—it’s about compounding through the correct sequence.
