My First Million
The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.
Financial Freedom Definition
True financial freedom isn't having a certain amount of money in your bank account - it's when you stop making choices based on money considerations.
Decision Rule
Evaluate decisions by asking: 'How much of what I do is because of money?' The financially free person makes zero choices based on money - not job choices, purchase decisions, or business decisions.
How It Works
Financial freedom is at least 50% mindset, maybe 80% mindset. Once you have enough capital to meet needs, the constraint becomes psychological rather than mathematical.
Failure Modes
Chasing arbitrary numbers without examining decision-making
Confusing wealth accumulation with freedom
Making money-based decisions out of habit even when unnecessary
Using money as excuse to avoid uncomfortable choices
Example Decision
“Choosing where to shop, what job to take, or which business to start without considering financial implications because you have enough resources that money is not the constraining factor.”
