And I was like, why would you practice but not then set yourself up to learn faster, fail faster, and then accumulate the skill faster?

I cross $100 million in net worth by the age of 28.

Now I'm growing Acquisition.com into a billion dollar portfolio.

And I know I always find

myself when I perceive a setback that might be in close proximity to me or might be in a near

future and I can see it coming you know I subconsciously I always want to avoid it right I remember
