Right now, as you read this, someone is profiting from your temporal poverty.
Not your lack of hours—you have the same 24 as everyone else. But your inability to position yourself in time the way venture capitalists do. While you execute in the present, they've already colonized the future. While you manage today's complexity, they're creating... See more
