• Why 90% of businesses fail but index funds have delivered 10% returns for 50 straight years

• The exact cash extraction strategy that protects you when your business inevitably hits rough patches

• How opportunity cost is killing your wealth (hint: every hour you spend picking stocks costs you real money)

• Why early-career entrepreneurs should invest in skills first, stocks second
