There are 19,000 private equity funds in the U.S. and this is how all of them are named
$KKR Partner Alisa Wood at a BBG event: "There are 19,000 PE funds in the US. There are 14,000 McDonald's in the US. How are there more PE funds than McDonald's? ...and by the way, they're all not created equal. So the spread between the best managers and the kind of mediocre third quartile managers are over 1400 basis points of dispersion. If you look in public equities, for that same spread, it's 200 to 300 basis points. So what does that tell you? It tells you the who matters more than the what,the people and the managers that you choose"

I know a lot of very average people who make phenomenal money simply because they aren’t insecure. They are confident enough in themselves and their own abilities to move forward regardless of other people’s opinions. They aren’t afraid to make an ask, do some marketing to drum up business, or hop on the phone to spend a few days or weeks cold calling folks when business gets slow. They don’t spend time feeling sorry for themselves if some of their calls or campaigns don't work out. They don't waste days or weeks second guessing their strategy or over-analyzing what someone said to them last week in an email or on the phone. They just move forward and keep taking action.

I'm 38. When I was 32 I worked in a bank, went woke (then broke) & suffered depression. Then I discovered Naval Ravikant's "How to get rich" post & made several million dollars by 38 8 of his insights that transformed my life (and will do the same for you):

Chaos means change. Change means opportunity. Opportunity means wealth for people who can make things happen. Therefore people who can make things happen thrive in chaos.

Said it once and I'll say it again... It's not about what you get, it's about who you BECOME. Writing my book Rich Instinct was such a challenging process, but it's the process that ultimately rewards you #book #author #money #Philosophy #wealth #power #writer

A couple of you pointed out that Audible version wasn’t showing chapter titles. I worked with them to fix it. You might need to remove download and re-download, but it’s working. Apple Books audiobook version will be fixed shortly. #book #money #philosophy #author #business
