Tweetable Quotes:

"Your time is the one asset you can't get more. You can have as much money as you want, but the time is ending one second at a time. And when you realize that and you start valuing it, you want the money to work for you rather than you trading time for money." – Joshua Roosen

"Paycheck is the most powerful drug. Because it's safe and secure, but sometimes if we really want to achieve our highest and biggest dreams and goals. We have to break that pattern. Get rid of those drugs, break the chains, and move on to something that will be really beneficial." – Nico Salgado

"Education is the only investment someone can make that's gonna reduce risk and maximize upside." – Joshua Roosen
