How To Conquer Yourself & Retire Your Parents

6 lessons you should apply on your path to greatness.

(number 4 is all you need to get started)

// THREAD //
What is your biggest desire in life?

It's not making a gazillion dollars.

It's what that money allows you to do.

It's about owning all 24 hours of the day.

It's about what it would allow you to do.

My biggest desire is retiring my parents.

Here's how I'm doing it.
1. The Power Of 'Yet'

Decide on your goal.

In my case: retiring my parents.

Understand that you're going to have to get out of your comfort zone.

You don't know how to code YET.

You don't know how to do email marketing YET.

You don't have millions YET.

You will.
2. Be Imperfect.

The system collectively turned us into perfectionists.

Stop worrying about being judged.

I promise you no one cares.

No one is better than you.

Forgive yourself for making mistakes.

Only 'punish' yourself for not trying.
3. Learn A High-Value Skill

Look, it's 2021. You need a modern-day skill, not one that fits the 19th-century, industrial era.

- Web Design
- Copywriting
- Cold Email
- Coaching
- Paid Ads

Stop thinking you can't do it. Everyone is doing it.

Do it for your parents! Your kids!
4. Being Average Is Good Enough

If you're like the old me, you (wrongly) assume others are better than you.

They are not. They just put in more reps.

You don't need to be great to start.

Success isn't based on where you begin.

It's based on how much you show up.
5. Be Humbled

I've been building the dream life for a year now.

Am I out here making millions? Not YET!

Have I made progress, through making mistakes, and am I making a living?

Hell yes!

Be ok with eating shit and cringing at your blunders from time to time.

You're human.
6. See It To Achieve It

Your mind is going to try to get you off the hook, every time you meet some resistance. Do not let it.

Every day visualize yourself telling your parents:
'I got you, you can relax and enjoy life now'.

If that doesn't push you, nothing will.

Let's GO!
Stop letting time go by without taking action.

If you're reading this and feel stuck just hit me up.

If I can do it, you can too. I promise.

If this resonated with you, please RT🔁 the 1st tweet!

Appreciate every one of you.

Let me know how I can be of service today, guys.

How To Stop Feeling Like A Failure After 30

Confessions of a former loser who's turned his life around

(& who believes you will too)

// THREAD //
You look around you and feel tiny.

You feel like your whole life is a chain of disappointments.

You feel your parents are ashamed of you, or at the very least you feel you're letting them down.

You've had some minor achievements, but you still feel 'inferior'.

I feel you.
Most people around you are off being successful, happy, and accomplished. Or so you believe.

They aren't.

Sure, they might have or earn more.

But you aren't what you have or do not have.

You are a collection of your experiences, your thoughts, and your actions.

Confront Your Victim Mentality And Unlock Your Greatness

Tips for those that have potential but have to unearth it first

// THREAD // Image
From age 18 to 36 I lived as if things were

happening 'to' me. Not for me.

I felt powerless. Negative. Pessimist.

If you're reading this, you'll know what I mean.

It is a coping mechanism you learned.

Know that it can be unlearned.

Here's how to recognize & conquer it:
1. You Dramatize Everything

Look, I've been there. No judgment here.

You allow yourself to believe the tiniest inconvenience will

be the end of the world. You always assume the worst.

Guess what? The universe listens to those thoughts and

will give you exactly that.

How To Turn Your Life Around And Finally Start Winning

Tips for those that have repeatedly lost, but are ready to win.

// THREAD //
Look. I was you.

You feel extraordinary on the inside,

but your track record screams averageness.

You have tried & pursued several dreams,

but you were never able to stick it through.

Family and friends judge you.

Your confidence & self-belief is gone.

Let's change that.
1. Get Clarity

What do you love?
What are you good at?
What does the world need more of?
What skills have you learned professionally?

Stop selling yourself short.

Someone is looking for your skill, your story, your help.

Answer these questions to start the journey.

The 5 Keys To Pursue The Dream Career That Scares You

Lessons I learned going from a 9-5 to being my own boss.

// THREAD //
1. Define Your Vision & Values

You need to know what is most important to you.

You won't endure obstacles & fear if what you're

pursuing isn't aligned with what matters most to you.

Understand that if you go against your values,

your mind will cause you pain & frustration.
Don't take the handsomely paid corporate job where they

expect you to work 70 hours/week if all you want is to spend

more time with your family at home.

No amount of cash is worth giving up on what you value.

I chose freedom over the (initially) higher-paid 9-5 I had.
