Intro

Expertise: This is where it all begins. Developing your skills to a level where you can trade them for high-value equity is crucial. Whether you're in marketing, engineering, or any other field, your expertise is your most valuable asset.
Equity: Understanding and maximizing equity compensation is key to building wealth. I discuss strategies for identifying valuable equity, emphasizing that liquid, appreciating, and tradable equity is often found in public companies.
Evergreen Portfolio: This involves building a diversified portfolio that generates ongoing income without depleting the principal. I stress the importance of shifting from making money to managing money and diversifying into private equity.
Exit Plan: This ties everything together, helping you plan your financial future with clear goals and timelines. Your exit plan should be a living document, adaptable to life's changes, and focused on achieving financial independence.

This chapter presents a framework for technology professionals to effectively manage their equity compensation with the goal of achieving financial freedom. It highlights four essential pillars—expertise, equity, evergreen portfolio, and exit plan—while sharing personal insights that stress the importance of a strategic approach to wealth building.
