A very “Financial Zen” type of quote to get you fired up for the week ahead.
By helping you retire insanely, ridiculously early, I am helping you to “close doors”. If no longer NEED your paycheck, then you’ll have the freedom to actually close those open doors before it’s too late.
Tim Ferriss: What advice would you give to a smart, driven college student about to enter the “real world”? What advice should they ignore?
Linda Rottenberg: People always tell recent graduates and budding entrepreneurs that they should keep their options open; “don’t close any doors.” But keeping every option open winds up leading to paralysis or, worse than that, self-deception. How many of my former classmates who took a job at Goldman Sachs or McKinsey for “a few years” before they pursued their real passions like cooking or starting their dream company are actually now chefs or entrepreneurs? Most are still banking and consulting, believing that those doors are still open. My advice to college students: Close doors.
