Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy.

Understand that ethical wealth creation is possible. If you secretly despise wealth, it will elude you.

Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.

You’re not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity - a piece of a business - to gain your financial freedom.

You will get rich by giving society what it wants but does not yet know how to get. At scale.

Pick an industry where you can play long term games with long term people.

The Internet has massively broadened the possible space of careers. Most people haven't figured this out yet.

Play iterated games. All the returns in life, whether in wealth, relationships, or knowledge, come from compound interest.

Pick business partners with high intelligence, energy, and, above all, integrity.

Don't partner with cynics and pessimists. Their beliefs are self-fulfilling.

@naval This thread on "how to get rich" is getting a lot of, well deserved, attention. Just want to point out that the roots of these ideas have been around in Naval's blog posts for 10+ years, e.g.: https://startupboy.com/2008/02...

@naval so good - could i turn this into a short animation?

@naval Remember reading this as a broke kid in 2018 ending and having my world rocked

@naval Question for @naval or @nivi ... even months after the Apple podcasts update ... I still can't get the first five episodes of the podcast version of this thread to index. Is there any hope of that happening? Or a workaround?

@naval @remindmetweets In 6 months, please

@naval Year 2024 and still valid.
