pair it with sales, and you'll never have to bend the knee to any employer ever again.
Or, master the skill of Sales itself.
That skill alone has the potential to set you free.

26. Anyone can be Creative
I used to think creativity was limited to ppl who are purely artistic.
The kind that played music or draw for fun.
Reality is anyone can be creative.
Creativity is about challenging ideas and conventional way of doing things.

being creative is by asking the question "why" often.
My teachers always told me curiosity kills the cat.
Like it's a bad thing to challenge old ways.
IF you want to be creative, do not fear asking "why" and be open to getting answers you might not like.

about seeing the world in grey as opposed to just black and white.
27. Live in multiple countries
It sounds cliched but living in different countries opens your mind
and gives you perspective that you would never have living in one country.
The older you get, the more ppl you meet, the more you realise we all live in a bubble.

If you want
to break your bubble,
then step out of it by moving to a different country. Preferably one where English is not the first language.

28. Embrace Hardship
They say the current generation is spoiled and lack perspective.
Sadly for them, having zero hardship in life makes them go crazy.
Hardship is what makes you humble, strong, and sharp .
People feign outrage at the most insignificant things because...

People feign outrage at the most insignificant things because...
they really don't know what it's like to truly endure hardship.
29. Life is a story and you are the hero
We are all living out a story we watch in our minds.
You cannot help but do this.
So if you're going to play director and script writer, why not make a movie
that is beautiful and ambitious?
You are the hero so make yourself great

30. To make Money, give the people what they want
Average people only think about what they want.
Entrepreneurs think about what the people want, and then give it to them in exchange for their money.

31. Learn Sales
The word "sales" whiffs of con man and manipulation.
The reality is, we all sell.
Sales is just applied persuasion.
Want to be a millionaire? learn sales
Want to get your kids to eat healthier? learn sales
Sales is a super skill.

32. Most important thing you can sell is YOU
No one else will believe in you if you don't believe in yourself
You must believe in yourself and you must not be afraid to sell yourself.
Winners TAKE shit
Losers just accept what's given to them.
Take what's yours by Selling YOU

33. Don't chase approval. Chase greatness.
No one likes a desperate, needy person, but
Everyone is drawn to greatness.
Focus on being great by focusing on improving yourself. Daily.
When you are great, you will have a new problem...
Saying "NO" to people.

34. Always be 2 steps ahead
Most people focus on what's in front of them.
The winners are 2 steps ahead.
Simple example:
Avg Joe sees a phone he wants, pulls out his credit card and buys it.
He doesn't even understand he is not spending his money.

He doesn't buy anything he cannot pay in cash.
He doesn't buy anything impulsively.
He reinvests his money into his business when he knows he could blow it on stupid sh!t.
Think strategically.

35. If you want to be Free, be Self-Reliable with money and health
If you can make money on your own terms and know how to manage it,
and if you cultivate the eating and exercise habits you need to maintain good health,
you will be freer than 90% of the population.
