Abraham Kaplan is famed for having coined the concept of the “Law of the Instrument”. It’s a very simple concept: “Give a small boy a hammer, and he will find that everything he encounters needs pounding”. It’s sometimes paraphrased as: “If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” It means, that if all you have is one:
- Perspective
- Skill
- Tool
- Talent
- Resource
Then you will try to solve problems from that perspective or with that tool, skill etc. It limits your ability to solve problems. If you’re only perspective is: “The best way to succeed is to go to college, get a corporate job, work 40-60 hours a week and move up the ladder”, then you’ll try to solve every financial problem with a J.O.B.
A traditional job is the hammer and everything else looks like a nail. This is the “Law of the instrument” that locks most of society into a perpetual “hammering”. That hammering eventually starts to look like beating your head against a wall.
If you want real financial freedom, you need to find an instrument that truly works. The only real path to financial freedom is to run your own business. The “hammer” of a traditional job is just going to give you brain damage.
