Contrary to what most people believe, the most decisive factor in making money, building wealth, and financial freedom is not motivation.

Nor is it perseverance, discipline, effort, talent, or luck.

While all these factors matter, none of them are the most crucial in achieving the goal.

As I see it, the biggest determinant in wealth creation is…

… Choosing the right path!!

​

Yes, that’s it.

That simple.

​

If you decide to open a pet supply store, that’s your path. If you’re a doctor, that’s your path. If you’re a university professor, another path. A postal worker? That’s a path too. An online entrepreneur? Yet another path.

​

When you change jobs, you change paths.

When you start a social media account for business purposes, you create a new path.

When you launch a YouTube channel or a newsletter, you're opening more paths.

​

Every path leads somewhere. Every single one. No exceptions.

​

Tell me which path you've chosen for your life, and I’ll tell you how close or far you are—in my biased opinion—from reaching financial freedom.

​

Let me give you a few examples:

• If you work a 9-to-5 office job earning €1.500 a month, it doesn’t matter how motivated or perseverant you are… Financial freedom tends to be science fiction for you because the numbers don’t add up. You’ve chosen the wrong path.
• If you work at McKinsey in the U.S. or the UK, you’ll work your ass off from dawn to dusk, but you’ll earn six figures a month. This new path brings you much closer to financial freedom, but at a steep cost: your free time, your life.

​

Paths are like vehicles, and many vehicles are absolute garbage.

​

If you put Fernando Alonso in a Dacia and you drive a Ferrari, you’ll win the race.

​
But not because Alonso suddenly became slow or incompetent, but because his motivation, effort, and talent are trapped in a bad vehicle.

​

The goal, then, is to choose a path (vehicle) that propels you to freedom as fast as possible, and ideally, with the least personal cost possible.

​

So, you need to pick a path that allows your effort, motivation, or talent to be asymmetrically leveraged to generate wealth.

Asymmetric leverage—where you give 5 and get 500—that’s the key.

And that’s it.

Nothing more. Nothing less.

​

Now, take a few minutes to reflect and analyze the path you've chosen to build your financial fortress and maybe, just maybe, reach freedom.

• Do you truly believe it's a good path?
• Can you leverage it?
• What kind of leverage does it offer?
• What price does it force you to pay?

​

If the assessment is positive, then go all in!

If not, change your damn path. Get out of that crappy hatchback and find yourself a goddamn Ferrari!

This is what I’m trying to do right now…

And, as a suggestion, you could start here.
