Important quotes from Nathan Barry on building audience, wealth, and startups:
"If I look back at all the good things that have happened in my career in the last 3 years, they all come from writing. One little habit of writing 1,000 words a day revolutionized my career."
— Nathan Barry
"ATTENTION IS THE MOST VALUABLE RESOURCE"
— Nathan Barry
"When you start writing you don’t have to worry about crafting perfect prose. Instead you just need to focus on teaching useful skills."
— Nathan Barry
Making money is a skill—like playing the drums or piano—that you can get better at over time.
I wouldn’t expect to be able to sit down at a piano for the first time and play a concerto. The same is true for making money.
This is why most first companies fail.
— Nathan Barry, Ladders of Wealth Creation
