I love that question.
I think that all else equal, the guy who focuses more is more likely to be a billionaire.
But back to momentum, right?
The person that keeps and has and maintains momentum and gets energy from what they do, they're more likely to be a millionaire than the average person, right?
I genuinely have no desire to be a billionaire.
Genuinely.
If I get there, cool.
But I don't want to leave my kids tens of millions of dollars anyway.
I know where I get most of my energy from.
I have a lot of surface area for this.
I've tried the focus.
I've tried having a board.
I don't want any of that.
Genuinely, I don't, right?
So if my life with hyper-focused Chris looks like billion-dollar exits, reporting to a board, being chairman of the board, being CEO, sitting in meetings all day, that's miserable, Chris.
And if I don't want to leave a ton of money to my kids anyway, then why am I making Chris miserable so my fourth-grade grandkids can be rich instead of just my second-grade grandkids?
That's genuinely how I look at it.
One of my superpowers is my long-term perspective.
I think of things on an eternal scale.
And if I have to have a miserable life so my kids in year 2300 can still be wealthy, forget that.
