ADVICE

Focus On Marketable Talent Early

  • Focus your 20s on finding and developing a marketable talent rather than chasing vague passions.
  • Commit to an industry with strong employment prospects and build skill through discipline and focus.
ANECDOTE

Rock-Bottom Wake-Up Call

  • Scott described becoming nearly broke at 42 after earlier success and how that scared him when his son was born.
  • That fear motivated him to pursue diversification and financial security thereafter.
INSIGHT

Diversify Early To Protect Gains

  • No expert can predict which single investment will win, so diversification is the simplest way to reduce risk.
  • Diversify as soon as you accumulate assets to protect gains from idiosyncratic shocks.
