THREAD // Making Friends Is Easier Than You Think

Had a great time with @MyLatinLife @NomadicHustler and @_RobORourke at dinner last night

It's easy when you're in school

But a lot of people seem to have trouble making new friends as they get older
The school environment is conducive to friendship because you spend so much time together

You share classes, activities and meals together so it's easy to find your tribe

Because you're younger, your standards are also low

You haven't refined who you are and what you want
As you get older and finish school, you're not really forced to be anywhere except work (if you work in an office)

A lot of people struggle with making new friends because they don't SEEK OUT additional activities that put them in environments where they can make friends
Over time, I've noticed that my friends tend to share the following characteristics

💥 They're ambitious

Almost of my friends are business owners and business growth is highly dependent on personal improvement

💥 They're positive

They have a positive outlook no matter what
💥 They're financially successful (or striving to be)

Some are millionaires

Some aren't

But they're all actively pursuing financial goals
💥 They're passionate about life

This is one reason I click so well with people who love travel

They genuinely enjoy the world and unlocking its wonders

💥 They're avid travelers

I have less and less to talk about with people who don't travel

Travel = new stories to share
💥 They're healthy

This doesn't mean they're all fitness nuts

But all my friends are in shape and so some form of exercise

💥 They're smart

Many are book lovers, reflective of where they are and where they want to be and effective at achieving their goals
💥 They're social

We all need our alone time, but my friends are all social

They're also good connectors and always open to make introductions

💥 They're generous

They're all giving (not stingy)

They share an abundance mindset
💥 They're creative

Some are artists

Most aren't

But everyone has a creative side, whether it's through writing, video, photography or building products

I've made several changes this month

- 2 new niches sites
- 3 new VAs
- Cutting daily emails down to 3
- Increase focused on paid group coaching
- Updated positioning

And more..

But I don't consider them changes

The point is to continuously EVOLVE over time
A lot of young people and new business owners get stagnant

You're not consciously evolving or growing

It's not going to happen every day

And a year is too long for a meaningful feedback loop

But I'm sure you can make progress every single week

Yes - EVERY week
Birthdays are only once a year

New Year's is only once a year

Summer is only once a year

We like to think about our lives during these events

But they don't happen often

Shorter feedback loops will force you to grow faster

DD's Principles For Freedom, Fulfillment and Fuck You Money: #6-10

6. I prioritize establishing and enhancing meaningful personal relationships

- I always have time for family or a true friend

- I believe the best way to build your network is by helping other people succeed
But… I don’t try to help people who don’t WANT to be helped

7. I strive for simplicity

Would eliminating a system or saying “No” save time, energy, or money?

I believe that less is more and always seek to do more of less
8. I focus all my energy within my circle of influence

I don't concern myself or worry about things over which I have no control

9. I take 100% responsibility

- I recognize that problems are gifts that inspire me to action

I've invested more money in my business in the past 4 days than most freelancers invest in a year

That's how the game is played

If you're an EMPLOYEE, then your income is probably the same as it was 12 months ago

But if you're an ENTREPRENEUR, your income should be higher
I know some of you work hard and that's great

But I believe you need to think about AGGRESSIVE growth

If you've been stuck at $1,500 for the past 12 months, what are you waiting for?

AS SOON AS you see an urgent problem in your business, FIX IT

Don't wait 6 months or a year
Same thing with prospecting

If you've been cold emailing for 2 months with no results, FIX IT ASAP

If you've been posting on Facebook or LinkedIn for 3 months with no leads, FIX IT

- Talk to people
- Buy a course
- Join a group

Be aggressive about solving problems

2nd #Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what do you currently see as being the major obstacle to women entering your field?'

Responses incl gender career stereotypes from an early age, lack of self-esteem and lack of female role models #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think that there is not enough awareness of female role-models in my field. There need to be more initiatives that allow young women to connect with female role-models so that they can be inspired and motivated to follow in their footsteps."
2. "Discouragement from teachers in high school to pursue a STEM career and an unwelcoming atmosphere in technical universities."

Last night, I learnt something from my Quicksell Basic Class: The market is growing and huge. Particularly for trainers.

A short #Thread
People have knowledge gaps. And whoever takes the initiative to fill this gap, carries the day.
In the near future, those who will be smiling to the bank will not just be those providing services, but those willing to pass on knowledge to others.

Men Are Scum - Story #Thread
Battery full! I unplugged my phone then sat on the edge of the bed as I scrolled through notifications from different social media platforms, some needed to be replied immediately but no, I just wasn't in the mood to reply them yet. I was still going through the notifications
then saw a tweet from one of my feminist idols, the tweet read thus:

"I'm about to do a thread, another experience...*sighs* men are just scum"
I wasted no time diving into her twitter timeline, I followed the thread with rapt attention and retweeted, it was indeed a

Why I decided to oppose @MBuhari - @bukolasaraki addresses followers in Kwara State 👇

"All that you have complained about tonight is on point, I can not find anything you have said that is not on point, you complained about empowerment" @bukolasaraki
"Let us agree that the last 3 and a half years, things have not been easy at all, I agree and accept things have not been easy at all, particularly in the area of empowerment" @bukolasaraki
"Before 2015 I have always tried to empower the youth and get you involved in appointments, but this time around as a result of what I call human factor, things have not been the same, I believe it is the will of God" @bukolasaraki

I was SUPPOSED to work last night, but instead I derailed a Work Skype completely by linking to a website I've been visiting for, like... ten years. The Blind Item Archive for alt.gossip.celebrities.
In case you don't know, a "blind item" is an attempt to print rumors and gossip while skirting libel laws. They don't name the subject, but drop hints that COULD be several people. You have to guess who they mean, and they don't confirm or deny.
An example would be something like, "This single-named, foreign-born singer was caught eating babies last night!"

Seal? Bono? Grimes? Björk? Sting? That could be a lot of people. So, that's how the column/paper protects itself.

Here are my favorite quotes from this amazing book. #THREAD
1. "Bitcoin can be best understood as distributed software that allows for transfer of value using a currency protected from unexpected inflation without relying on trusted third parties"
2. "While Bitcoin is a new invention of the digital age, the problems it purports to solve - namely, providing a form of money that is under the full command of its owner and likely to hold its value in the long run - are as old as human society itself"
