Deep dives
Seek wealth, not money or status
According to Naval Ravikant's viral Twitter thread, seeking wealth, which means having assets that earn while you sleep, is more important than pursuing money or social status. Achieving financial freedom and time freedom requires decoupling your time from your money. This can be done by being an owner of something, such as building a niche internet business that provides uncapped upside in profits and equity value, and allows you to use software or offshore talent to solve a problem for a specific audience.
