How to find a great mentor:

Become a person successful people WANT to mentor.
An underrated key to success:

Enthusiasm.
The #1 path to failure among entrepreneurs:

Too many people want to be leaders and not enough folks are willing to do the damn work.
Something you won’t read in any self help books:

Following your passion as a way to make money is a fools errand.
The worst advice I’ve ever gotten:

Swing for the fences and take a big shot.

You’ll end up with a big failure and insecurities that will keep you from trying again.
Speaking of confidence:

99% of people don’t reach their potential. And this is the #1 reason why.
The key to happiness isn’t money.

It’s time.

But to have time you need plenty of money.
Life is only fun when you have a struggle to reach the finish line.

If you’re handed an easy W it’s not a good feeling.
Smart people don’t use long words meant to confuse and gain status.

They communicate clearly and simply.
Most people try to get ahead by pulling others down.

Winners win because they lift others up.

Abundance > scarcity
Most people aren’t cut out to be entrepreneurs.

For 95% of the population it isn’t the best path.
If you engage in any type of media regularly you’d think the world was getting worse.

The quality of life for every class of folks is better than it has ever been.
If you think any one person (no matter how successful they are) is master at everything and is right all the time you’re an idiot.

Take advice from a lot of people.

Send it though your bullshit meter.

Keep what you believe to be true.
A lot of really incompetent people get wealthy just by putting themselves out there and giving it a shot.

In some industries just showing up is enough to win in a pretty big way.
Likability is way more important than you think it is.

How to be likeable?

Here is the secret:

Be in a good mood, tell good stories, and ask good questions.

If you raise good kids, handing down assets only helps them have more of a positive influence on the world and live better lives with more opportunity.

If you don’t believe in generational wealth, can you explain to me why?
I strongly believe it’s your fault for not properly communicating and organizing your affairs if your children tear the family apart fighting over your assets.
Wealth doesn’t make people complacent unless they are never taught the value of a dollar or made to work for anything.

Or learned the sense of pride that comes with hard work and accomplishment.

If you wouldn’t pay $10 a month for Twitter, Twitter would probably be a better place without you here.
Looks like I’m going to get brutalized for this take, and I’ll own that.

It was just a thought.

I just think there are a lot of toxic users on Twitter.

And the value for those who use it for news, networking, learning is 10x as valuable as a Netflix subscription.
OK I’ll admit it that was stupid. I probably never would’ve joined Twitter in the first place if it was $10.

But the good thing about this comment is that I was able to block about 50 people who are jerks.

At business school you read Zero to One and study how Amazon and Microsoft navigated the 2000s.

News flash:

Starting a business from scratch and creating something that can put food on your table is nothing like any of that.
The problem with MBA entrepreneurs:

They focus on building an organization and structure and plans.

And they’re not willing to do the damn work in the early days that isn’t fun, isn’t high level, and isn’t scalable.
In the early days you don’t need grand visions and business plans.

You need salesmanship, grit, and resourcefulness.

And there is only one way to learn that stuff:

Put your ego aside and roll up your sleeves.

I can't get any contractors to answer my call.

I can't buy anything hobby related without waiting 3 months.

I walked out of a restaurant downtown on Saturday night and had to walk IN THE STREET because it was so crowded.

But bring on the stimulus!
I know this is an insensitive thing to say - but the folks waiting for the government to save them right now aren't going to get it.

Get resourceful and pivot! Take control of your own future vs putting it in the hands of politicians!

There are opportunities everywhere.
Every single home service / construction company in the country is hiring as fast as possible and anyone who isn't drunk can get a job in a day.

Truckers are making $80k+ per year.

New industries are popping up everywhere.

Change = opportunity.
