Let us be honest; part of the reason Sandberg and Mayer are so powerful now is the money they made. We all have dreams of cashing out, and the startup world is the best way to do it. No one ever gets rich (in the Western world’s definition of that word) working as a corporate drone. You can have a very successful and secure life as a corporate worker, but you will never be independently wealthy, and even if you do get to retire, you will not be able to do so young enough to pursue your real dreams. Have the audacity to become someone you would have admired at the age of ten.
Not so sure about this paragraph. There’s a lot to be said for spending wisely to grow wealth. Those FIRE people seem to be onto something. And are we all trying to be rich and retire as soon as we can? Is that the person you looked up to at 10 years old? ;)
