That's Rich
A good friend of mine once gave me this advice on getting rich (however you choose to define rich).
Here’s the quick version: Build deep, meaningful, authentic relationships and help a lot of people.
That’s it.
Recognize a need (it’s an opportunity). Serve or meet that need. Provide a continual stream of service to perpetually meet that need in lots of peoples lives. Get rich intentionally while simultaneously freeing up your time.

It’s the simplest idea out there, but it’s something that, until they’ve lived it or experienced it, you just can’t teach kids in college, in the business schools:
It’s all about the relationships. It’s all about who you know.
Not in the old school, “My father knows such-in-such, and I’ll get a job from him” kind of way, but in the “I’m ready to make a move, and it will be easier because I’ve made connections with these resource providors, as well as these potential clients and investors”.
