The world's richest man broke the number one rule of money.
He put all his eggs in one basket. On purpose.
He started as a bobbin boy, earning a dollar twenty a week.
Later, he sold thirty million dollars of deals to bankers in Europe.
Big banks wanted him. He said no. Back to his iron mills.
His rule: put all good eggs in one basket, then watch that basket.
He rarely saw anyone get rich doing ten things at once.
Big losses come from things you're not the boss of.
The real gold mine? It's in your own shop.
Picture Maya: lemonade, bracelets, dog walking. All half done.
Your move this week: pick one project. Pause the rest. Fix one thing.
And watch that basket.
