Becoming in public. Built a $1M one-person empire. Now sharing my ideas on ambition, identity, leverage & creation as I scale to $10M. My experiments @iampascio
Don't put all your energy into acquiring money.
Try to acquire:
- Body of an athlete.
- Spirit of a warrior.
- Mind of a stoic.
- Heart of a poet.
Thats the goal.
There are 3 levels of getting paid as a creator:
1. For your time
2. For your products
3. For your taste
Time scales linearly, products exponentially, but taste scales forever, because it's uncloneable. The end state is being paid for the way you see, not the way you produce.
Avoid at all costs:
- Single product
- Single platform
- Single income stream
- Single identity that breaks if any of the first 3 break
Architect a portfolio that can absorb a failure in any one of the four pillars without taking down the others.
