That’s an interesting view. I have always held the belief (and still do) that effort matters more than talent. That’s not to say that talent doesn’t matter, but the fact that effort is something you can control appeals to me.

I think talent destroys grit, just anihilates it totally. I had extreme talent in a niche field of engineering. I avoided working long hours or doing boring tasks whenever I could. I also lacked discipline but I had passion. My innate laziness drove me to find simple or digital ways of getting out of time consuming hard work. It made me a great delegator and the passion made me a great team leader. It also made my employer hundreds of millions and me, millions. But that was fair because the employer had the capital to invest and took the risks, not me. I think you are right in most cases but I think that with enough talent you really don’t need much of a work ethic. I know a lot of tremendously hard workers who are still slaving away while I’m retired, FI and having fun.

Investing a portion of your income on a regular basis and dollar cost averaging
Diversifying among and within asset classes
Looking for undervalued securities, sectors, or industries (less passive)
