When people say they don't have time, what they mean is they just simply don't want to do it.

You will do something if you want it bad enough because I believe long term everything

is rational.

If you hit your job enough, or if you want to do something else enough, or if you want

that wealth enough, you're going to find ways to make time.

So don't come to me and say, I don't have time, but I still want this because the reality

is you don't want this.

You don't want it.

Otherwise, you would make time.

For me, I wanted to get out of finance.

After 11 years, I was like, this is not fun.

I was scared that I was going to lose my job.

And I wanted to do something new, and I needed a backup plan because I already graduated

from business school.

Therefore, I woke up a little bit earlier, 5am, 6am, worked out in for an hour or two hours.

You will make time if something you care about is great enough.
