Part 2 - Boundaries, trade-offs, and logic
How family-first mindset accelerates everything else.
Hello friends! Seb here!
Last time I shared how most people think in terms of this OR that when building a meaningful life. The truth? You don’t always have to choose. Wealth, health, freedom, and family can coexist - but only if you set the right boundaries and make disciplined trade-offs.
Family-first example:
I am on my way of figuring out how to give people the value equivalent to $1M. However, I do it within certain boundaries.
For example, I prioritized what can’t be rushed. Marriage, parenting, and relationships were non-negotiable. While peers focused solely on climbing the career ladder, I invested time in family, trusting that financial success would follow. The result? My career and income accelerated precisely because I put family first - not in spite of it.
Prioritizing what can’t be rushed:
Without a focus, we get overhelmed and paralized. This is why, when it comes to priorities, I tried to create a system that prioritizes what gets indefinitely harder over time.
Energy in your 50s is easier to preserve than in your 80s → start early.
Financial compounding works at any age → focus first on the irreversible.
There are people that became milionaires (or bilionaires) within a few years. But no one raises their kids quickly. None. Null. Zero. There’s no shortcut.
So I aim for the green area. Ambitious, but not extreme.

However, keep in mind, that The point isn’t idealism - it’s discipline. Real-world results come from sequencing priorities, not chasing everything at once.
Next time: “How health, energy, and systems make this sustainable.”
Stay tuned!
