Warriors

Mark McIlroy

September 2025



1. Warriors need a lot of money. However they need regular incoming cashflow, they are not suited to owning capital assets like properties, or having large amounts of money in a bank.


2. Warriors are not suited to being employees.


3. Warriors are not suited to being business owners.


4. Warriors tend to conduct transactions, rather than building something over a long period of time.


5. Warriors like to travel.


6. Warriors should have a chance to retire.


7. Warriors need to be free, they are not suited to having a territory and they cannot live under authority.



Notes:

Earning income by conducting transactions is a hard life. It is better to have assets that generate regular passive income.

Warriors spend a lot of time fighting. While I can identify with some of the items on this list, I hate fighting, it is poison to my soul.

I've coined a term for this type of person and that's a 'business person'.
