Why you don’t get what you want.

7 classic mistakes to avoid.

// THREAD //
1. You rely on other people

High expectations lead to disappointment. That person you like doesn’t respond? You don’t hear from your interview/client? Persist, give a chance, otherwise move on. Don't depend on others to succeed. Wasting time is expensive, new things will come.
2. You want everything now

Your sale may not close today, but it will in 5 months. You may not go out with that person you like today, but you might in 5 months. Remember, things are not always meant to be. And reality is, things happens when they happen. Don't punish yourself.
3. You don’t ask

Are you afraid to ask someone out? Ask for a discount? A salary increase or promotion? Look… If you don’t ask, you don’t get. Rule of life. Everything can be negotiated and achieved by asking. The sooner you apply this rule, the more you start getting.
4. You go after things that you don’t want

You believe “it is the right thing to do”. Or you see others doing it and follow. “What will make me more money?” is a trap. Instead ask “Why am I doing this? Do I like it?”. Question yourself to achieve what you really want in life.
5. You don’t enjoy the journey

“I want to be fit” or “I want to build a business". Truth is, you only think about the destination. Daydreaming won’t help you achieve your dreams. Think about the process & the effort. If you aren't enjoying the journey, there is no destination.
6. You have a short-term vision

You don’t ask yourself “What impact will this decision have in 12 months?”. Living the present is great. But find out what you want, where you want to be & how you will get there. Long-term vision is priceless; strategic mindsets attract success.
7. You get comfortable

Repetitive routines can lead to disaster. In the gym, with your partner, at the workplace. One gets tired, bored, demotivated. “The ultimate measure is where one stands at times of challenge & controversy” - ML King. Challenge your life; meet the unknown.

10 tricks that trigger you to spend money.

// Thread
1. Reducing the left digit

The first digit makes a difference in buying decisions.

Your mind encodes numbers at a high speed.

It automatically assumes it is much cheaper with a lower number.
2. Removing the comma

Removing the comma makes the price looks cheaper.

($1,229 vs. $1299). It’s proven research.

Apple uses this strategy on their homepage.

10 types of people to avoid.

// Thread
Patronising personality.

They think they are better than you. They tend to be bullies. They shout. Make fun of you. Or talk behind your back. You can disarm them by remaining calm and avoiding sarcasm. “Are you done? Can we move on now?”.
Hypocrite personality.

They judge and then do that same thing. They are unaware of their words & actions. Let them know that it annoys you. Stay calm. Choose positive words to confront them. Use “I” instead of “you”. Prepare for emotional reactions.

8 tricks to master how to read people.

// Thread
Eye movement is their mind reflection

Avoiding eye contact? They're shy, hiding something or feeling intimidated.

- Looking bottom right? Reflecting feelings.
- Top right? Potential lie.
- Bottom left? Disagreement.
- Top left? Remembering.

Study eye movements.
Writing style defines their personality

Long sentences? They struggle to explain/understand.

WRITING LIKE THIS!?! High energy/hyper.

Short sentences? Calm & paused.

Received a short email? Respond with a short email.

People are what they write and how they write.

10 tricks that trigger you to spend money.

// Thread
No currency ($) signs.

You’ll notice it in restaurant menus.

And even retail shops.

You spend more when you don’t see the dollar sign.

It reduces the “pain of paying”.
Supersized Carts.

Shoppers don’t like to push around empty carts.

Larger carts lead to spending 40% more.

If you want to avoid overspending…

Consider grabbing a basket or a smaller cart.

10 mistakes to avoid before your 30’s.

// Thread
“You have to be nice”

Don’t confuse being nice with kindness.

Nice = concerned with not upsetting someone.

Kind = concerned with doing what is right.

Nice often leads to a lot of "yes", wanting to be liked.

Respect yourself. Your own time. Do what is right.
“Save your money”

Money in your bank account doesn't multiply. Find ways to keep your money in motion. Learn about crypto, stocks, real estate. Have skin in the game. A $50 investment profit or $50 investment loss will teach big life lessons. Always be compounding.
