Is it harder to start today? 📉

The truth is, the environment has changed. You need more resources for compliance and regulation than I did when I started. But the core principle remains: Money follows talent.
If you have the ideas and can demonstrate the logic behind them, the capital will find you. That’s how I went from playing the markets as a kid to managing an account for the World Bank.

Are you focused on the money, or are you focused on the talent? Let me know in the comments. 👇
