The Road Less Stupid: Advice from the Chairman of the Board;

It turns out that the key to getting rich (and staying that way) is to avoid doing stupid things. The vast majority of dumb tax in both our lives is a direct result of three things:

2.Obsessing about Oz (instead of the yellow brick road) and
3.Faulty assumptions (ignoring risk).

It all hinges on Thinking Time.
