I am often telling people: "Success is the journey; how far we have come. You can be born with money but you can't be born with success." People often look up to people that were born into wealth or were "gifted" success when others who work hard to come so far are often unnoticed.

I actually bought the book and read it and realized that you already highlighted the important stuff! I could have saved myself time and reduced my information intake by just trusting you! Where can I find more of your "cliff notes" on other books you've found extremely helpful?? Thanks! Hey Tim, I love your “cliff notes” of the book!

It always amazes me how I manage to zip to the top of the heap in some new endeavor simply by putting my nose to the grindstone. Sometimes, I even feel guilty about it, like I’ve skipped some steps and don’t “really” belong there. But in the end what I realize is that I’ve put in the work (consistently) that 95% of people aren’t willing to do. And I’ve done the work in the smartest most efficient way possible. The basics are everything. And the cool thing is, once you’ve mastered the basics in one area of your life, they seem to transfer to other areas. Was it Musashi who said “To know one thing is to know 1000 things”? Great post.
