Francis Ngannou went from homeless to MMA predator

Started boxing at 22

"When I started, I had nothing[…]I needed everything"

He sold his motorcycle, one needed to make money, to join a gym

People called him crazy

Here's his life's philosophy in a nutshell:

"It might not work. But, I don't want to live with the regret of not trying. I have to try. If I fail, it's ok," he said on Joe Rogan's podcast. "I have a right to try and to fail... to start over."

4 reasons why people fail.

And how to avoid these pitfalls.

\\ Thread

1. Comparing yourself with others

Most people compare themself with others coming from a place of envy.

Don't do this.

If you're going to compare with someone, make it about figuring out what you can learn from them.

2. They rely on motivation

Motivation is a hoax.

You don't need motivation to get things done, because motivation arrives *when* you take action.

Do the hard work even if you don't feel like it.

Watch how quickly you'll get motivated to keep going.
