You get good at what you do to get rich.

Getting rich doesn’t make you good.

Often college seniors are looking for big paying jobs when they graduate from college and who can blame them – most are saddled with college debt that will likely hang over them until they’re well into their forties.

But that’s a mistake.

Two things that successful people always do:

1. They make sure they are in the right building – that is, the right company, the right place, the opportunity that makes their passion burn red-hot.
2. Wealthy people are good at what they do first and they make their money second.  Not the other way around.

So the best advice we can give ourselves or to others is to dispense with notions of making more money and become obsessed with the excellence we can produce.

Opportunity and excellence go hand in hand.
