Step 2: Making Money: Change the Unit of Income

A dragon's tail or a snake's head?
Pursue open income, not closed income.
Capitalism is not a zero-sum game.
Work, as far as I can see, is the whole world.
To become a tiger, you must enter the tiger's den.
Be the one who creates the line, not the one who waits in line.

Travel back in time and help your past self.

Why doesn't life change when you keep running without stopping?
→ If the direction is wrong, speed is meaningless.

With the unemployment rate among highly educated youth hitting record highs every year, the "job mismatch" phenomenon is emerging as a serious social problem.
The Unabomber, author of "The First," points out the illusion of the pyramid-like competitive structure that has supported Korean society.
There is always a bottleneck at the destination that the majority is aiming for, and opportunities decrease rapidly over time.
Those who are pushed out of the zero-sum competition face a gap between their goals and reality and lose their way.
The author was also a person who faithfully followed the 'success tech tree' set by society during his youth.
Living up to his parents' expectations, he entered a top university, overcame the IMF foreign exchange crisis, and joined a leading company.
He thought the road to success would be smooth, but his faith was shattered after an unhappy career.
The author then jumped into business and investing in his early 30s, and after years of trial and error, he finally achieved financial freedom.
The real wealth lies outside the success tech tree that most people talk about.

The author had to endure countless failures and pains over a long period of time to learn the rules of the capital game and achieve success without anyone's help.
Unless you inherit the privileged blood of the 'royal class', everyone is faced with crucial choices for survival and growth, and a single wrong choice can lead to irreversible failure.
The author began writing this book with the intention of serving as a practical guide in the face of that very 'choice.'

Don't bet your life on increasing your monthly income by 100.
→ Rich people focus on games that earn 3,000 when they earn 300 a month.

"I don't have enough income to invest." Many people cite low income as the reason they struggle to create a second income.
Many people take on two or three jobs to make up for their lack of income, pouring in time and energy.
The Unabomber warns that simply investing your time and energy to increase your income without a long-term goal will never last.
Because capitalism is a game where the winner is the one who makes the most of time, not money.

The lower your income, the more you need to create a 'flow of accumulated money' to gain an advantageous position in the market more quickly.
The key is to focus on the 'multiplication game' rather than the 'addition game'.
Let's say a salaried worker earning 300 won a month doubles his income through a risky side job.
This in itself is a great achievement, but it is clear that it will soon lead to mental and physical burnout.
Moreover, this method does not allow for a multiplication game that goes from 600 to 1200.
If you want financial freedom, when you earn 3 million won a month, you have to focus on earning 30 million won.
This book teaches you how to leverage your resources to combat inflation in this era of high prices, and provides step-by-step instructions on how to maximize your hourly labor value while minimizing the cost of your work, time, and energy.

We are all born to do business.
→ Start your game before it's too late

Will staying in a secure pyramid until retirement guarantee a prosperous future? The author asserts that the pyramid's security and your own security are distinctly separate matters.
As the income gap period due to aging increases, securing a stable retirement based solely on earned income has become a thing of the past.
There are countless cases of people suffering irreparable financial losses after unplanned retirement and attempting to invest or start a business without preparation.
In his lectures, the Unabomber repeatedly emphasized that we are all born to do business, and his students followed his teachings and started their own capital games.

If you work hard but continue to fall short of wealth and success, it's because you've only been diligent in helping other people play the capital game.
The author systematically guides people with ordinary talent, assets, and circumstances on how to start their own capital game, and thoroughly explains the principles of wealth that remain unshaken even in market crises.

The author says that if you think that those at the top of the competitive pyramid—such as executives, professionals, or high-income businesspeople—are the only models of success, you only understand half of capitalism.
“Capitalism is not a zero-sum game, but an infinite game where the sooner you start, the more you take.” If you believe that the pyramid you currently belong to is the only means of economic growth, I strongly urge you to start with Step 1 of this book.
It will be the first turning point to break away from the zero-sum game and seize infinite wealth.

From consumer to producer, from helper to leader
→ Find the 1% possibility that only you can choose.

PD Joo Eon-gyu, author of “Super Normal,” wrote in his recommendation that “The First” is not just a book that tells you how to become rich.
As he puts it, the Unabomber makes us reconsider the meaning of 'true success' beyond economic wealth.
After reading the book to the end, you will realize that the core of it is 'taking control of life.'
From the first step of cultivating a capitalist mindset to the sixth step of adding social value, the attitude toward life that the author consistently emphasizes is reclaiming control of one's life.
The power to lead my work, time, assets, and people is ultimately the key to competitiveness in capitalism and the key to success in life.

The Unabomber calls the 1% of people who perfectly possess those qualities "loners."
They break away from the herd instinct and seize opportunities that the public doesn't see through their original thinking and actions.
When everyone is talking about crisis and uncertainty, overcome your fear and choose the 1%.
The book helps us build the capital and confidence to make that 1% choice.
It all starts with understanding yourself and your life accurately.

In the introduction to the book, the author makes a strong plea:
At least if you buy this book, don't just spend it once; be sure to follow the roadmap in the book to the end.
If you don't give up, you will discover that 1% possibility that only you can choose.
If you want freedom from money and time, first become a pioneer in your own life.
In your work, put your name on the line and be first-class.
Wealth will naturally follow you.
