Money is Infinite

Think back to 100 years ago: a teacher wanted to find a way to preoccupy his highly competitive male students. He invented a game where they threw a ball into an open-ended bucket. This game became so competitive it evolved into the basketball industry—a $25 billion industry by revenue today.

Think of the Wright brothers tinkering with flight and doing the impossible; today, the aviation industry is over a trillion dollars in revenue globally.

Think of Alexander Graham Bell racing with Elisha Gray to patent the telephone; today, the mobile phone industry alone is over $620 billion in revenue.

Think of the podcasting industry, which only started in the last 20 years; it is already raking in between $7.3 billion and $39.6 billion globally.

Collectively, the world’s GDP is increasing, not reducing. The quality of life is also increasing, and I believe it will continue to increase. Money is not fixed; money is an abstraction for value. The more we create valuable things, the richer we get.

For Me:

• Think abundance, not scarcity.

• Think contribution and production, not just consumption.

• Tinker, create, build!

• Keep refining and continuously improving.

• Persist. When one industry or opportunity closes, move to the next; there are always opportunities.
