There are many ways to define wealth. There are the more traditional definitions having to do with cash flow or net worth. Some say that your health is the truest measure of wealth, while others claim that the quality of your relationships is a better metric.
There is value in all of these. But let’s consider something else:
How much of your time do you control?
What good is it to be a deca-millionaire if every minute of your day is held hostage by meetings, phone calls, and people you loathe?
What good are boats, cars, houses, snowmobiles, jet skis, and other toys if managing them is a headache and takes up all your time?
What good is a high-paying, high-powered job if you spend all day joylessly grinding and zero time with your kids?
Your life is measured in minutes, and each one is precious. It’s not too late to get a handle on them.
