I asked @naval how to build wealth and a family at the same time on @getairchat… his answer:
@zacgarside @naval @getairchat Felt many of the same pressures. My answer was a time blocking framework. Largely limited travel to every other week. Forced myself to go to bed at 10:30 so I could get up at 4:45 so I could be home for dinner and focus on family 6-8:30 every night I was home.
@zacgarside @naval @getairchat Excellent question, and an excellent response. This would be relevant regardless of age; in your case @zacgarside congratulations to have the foresight to ask this question twenty years before some of us did. 😄
Great question. Naval nailed it with the surround yourself w right ideas and the right ppl bit But I believe the biggest miss in the answer is TIME At 28, your advantage is time. You have 4 - 5 decades of high quality years ahead of you. If you start a biz, work normal hrs weeks and be present for your kids’ stuff and simply play the longer time horizon game than your peers, you’ll win Sam Walton started Walmart at 44, Ford at 39 and many such examples Listen to @FoundersPodcast if you aren’t already (a huge inspiration for such stories)
@zacgarside @naval @getairchat This was a great question and an equally great answer. “If you can’t work harder, think harder” … loved it!
