That is bizarrely what he taught me
Wealthy individuals are too loud.
They do my head in. I’ve at all times been drawn to introverts and those that go about their enterprise quietly, particularly on the subject of cash.
About 3 years in the past, I got here throughout a person named Justin Welsh. A number of of him now. However again then he was a no one. I’ve had a number of interactions with him over time.
He’s the definition of a “quiet millionaire.”
Right here’s what you possibly can be taught from him.
I began writing on LinkedIn earlier than Justin.
But in a number of quick years he’s constructed a $2.5m a yr enterprise from writing a number of quick posts day by day. So somebody like me ought to listen.
Firstly of his journey we related. Justin was beneficiant along with his time and gave me lots of good suggestions I’d by no means of come throughout. What struck me was how he interacted with me.
He’s so chill it’s scary.
Justin isn’t taken with fame, being an influencer, making $200m a yr, taking selfies, making it on some wealthy checklist, driving a Lambo, disrupting an business, assembly Mark Zuckerberg, or constructing a unicorn firm like Stripe.
He’s low-key.
All he desires to do is construct a tiny on-line enterprise that he can construct his way of life round. He optimizes his enterprise and earnings for freedom as a substitute of standing or being wealthy.
This type of existence is uncommon. So many individuals wish to construct huge companies to inform everybody about them. They need cameras and PR corporations at their toes begging for his or her time.
And most profitable folks are stupidly busy.
Their calendars are stuffed with appointments. I keep in mind final yr I used to be attempting to leap on a name with Justin. He had like 2–3 weeks free and not using a single appointment. I couldn’t consider it. He calls it Anti-Maximization. His instance stayed with me.
