I think a lot of time it's not the money for people. It's more that perception of, what am I going to tell the boys? That's actually what stops most people from quitting their jobs. You can go on lower-case J and get access to things like credit lab access or Bloomberg profile access. Even now, even if you have $1 million in your bank account, there are still opportunities out there just by being yourself. If you want to be an entrepreneur, don't give up who you are yet. Don't let anyone make you feel bad about where you're coming from.
The NIA boys discuss the power of quitting, the Visualize Value origin story, the law of compounding, and decision-making frameworks.
