The Hardest $100K

Everyone dreams of reaching seven figures, but most underestimate how much persistence it takes to reach the first hundred thousand. That early stage is where financial character is built. It is where patience, restraint, and consistency are tested long before returns feel meaningful.

In this video, Byron Wien’s timeless insights reveal why the early climb feels slow — and why it must. The first $100K is not only a financial milestone but a psychological transformation. Once you cross it, compounding becomes your partner instead of your challenge.
