1. You genuinely have to have things that you're interested in enough to be curious to learn more about. Doesn't matter what it is.
Curiosity did NOT kill the cat. Another societal lie designed to keep you down.
2. Once you're aware of your interests, you have to choose one in an area where you know the world needs it or will need it. And go all the way fucken in.
Before you start make sure you've emotionally & mentally invested what it's going to take to endure the learning.
3. Once you get more accustomed and adequately obsessed you're going to have to become really good at it. Aim to be the expert in it.
4. Get yourself a good professional look & feel so that people take you seriously.
A brand is often the difference between a number & number with an extra zero at the end.
Branding is NB because this sets the tone and many people miss this point.
5. Monetize as soon as you're ready to. Your brands look and feel and your level of skill will dictate this.
What determines the value of your work:
1. Demand for your services 2. Your ability to execute/deliver 3. The difficulty of replacing you
6. Take some of the money you make and invest it in other things (expansion & marketing).
7. Rinse and repeat the process as you evolve as an individual. Always reinvent yourself.
8. BONUS.
Build a business around your life and NOT a life around your business.
The longer you take to build the life you want, the harder it becomes to do so because as you get older:
1. Your risk appetite decreases 2. The mental programming that has been sabotaging you is reinforced 3. You have less friends who you fear losing so you can rock the boat
It also has to be said that the older you get, the more expensive it is to belong to your peer groups.
For the most part if you aren't talking about marriage, kids, holidays & houses; you automatically will get segregated.
Scary how evident this is.
In fact if you have traded most of your friends in your 20s for more progressive friends who aren't afraid to challenge the order of things, chances are you will never develop your own rhythm on things.
Nature only gives man so long in order to free himself.
One thing people grossly underestimate is the power of keeping a journal.
You'll never know the benefits until you keep and maintain one.
Someone suggested I get one over a decade ago, I didn't question it, I did it and I can attest to the benefits.
A journal helps you mine and refine the magic that's inside you. Your own handwriting also adds massive leaps to the manifestation process and it also makes it super easy to track results & long term changes/improvements in everything that you do.
We miss alot nowadays.
One thing that I noticed my journals helped me with, was being able to draw me to myself.
If you aren't careful, you'll constantly be striving for things not being aware of the doors you walk through that you were battling to get opened years ago.
