If it takes money to make money, how does one make money when he has no money at the start?

A person without capital has nothing to leverage but his or her time. This is why millions of Americans (and Canadians) wear the handcuffs of hourly wages.

When I was 14, my life sold for $1.60 an hour. At 18, an hour in the life of Roy H. Williams was selling for three dollars and thirty-five cents. People all around me talked about "the security of a steady paycheck" as though steady and unchanging were a good thing.

But I found a way of escape.
