A Billionaire Says This Is The Important Reason He’s Successful
It’s not hustle or speeding up, but stillness.
Ray Dalio makes his money as a hedge fund manager.
He founded an investment management firm in 1975 which went on to be the largest in the world.
He’s now estimated to be worth a cool $18 billion.
So the guy knows how to make money.
But he doesn’t credit his success to lifelong hustle, extreme productivity, education, or just downright luck — although those factors may well play a part.
He credits his success, not with speeding up, but with slowing down.
The single most important reason
Meditation, according to Ray, is the reason he’s where he is now.
He once said his meditation practice is, “the single most important reason for whatever success I’ve had.”
For 20 minutes, twice a day, Ray doesn’t think about the stock market, or running a global business, he stills his mind.
Specifically, Ray practices Transcendental Meditation — something he started doing after the Beatles studied TM in India in the 60s.
