Highlights

The concept of enough is the most underrated skill in entrepreneurship
Sivers argues that knowing when you have enough is harder than making more. Most entrepreneurs never define their enough number, so they are on a treadmill with no finish line.
Money buys freedom only if you spend it on freedom
Sivers: most people who earn a lot of money spend it on things that reduce their freedom — bigger houses, more staff, higher overhead. The paradox is that money intended to buy freedom often purchases new constraints.
