People who truly fail to make big money are not lacking in intelligence, connections, or luck. Rather, they fail because they cannot calm down and focus on doing one thing, compound it over the long term, and wait for the compounding effect to explode. Most people don't make big money not because they don't work hard enough, but because they are too impatient, too scattered, and too greedy. Without a calm mind, nothing gets done; without a steady mind, wealth won't come. People who manage to make big money all understand one thing: concentrate your energy on the one thing you do best and that has the most value.
