Most of us go through life feeling like we’re not in control.

Our time is filled with things we have to do, while our dreams with things we assume we can’t do.

Social and financial duties dictate most of our behavior, while the remainder of our choices are constrained by fear.
It doesn't have to be that way.

You can overcome your anxieties and eliminate the external obstacles holding you back.

You can take back control. Your life can be yours, it should be yours.

Here's how 👇
Make a short to-do list for every day

Three items maximum, and the fewer the better.

Make sure you put only tasks in your list, not goals and objectives
Do something that scares you at least once a week

Fear has been known to hold us from doing what we want in life.

Build the habit of facing your fears, then you become inured to fear.

You will start breaking free of the artificial self-imposed constraints that fear creates
Cut back on caffeine and alcohol

Both have their uses, alcohol for relaxing and socializing, caffeine for staying alert in the mornings

But most people consume too much.

Try cutting your consumption in half.

You'll most likely get the same benefits
Build your network

Stay in touch with people in your industry

Go to events with them, meet other people

Focus on giving value to people, and don’t worry about what you’ll get out of it for now

You’ll need that network someday, it’s important to build a network before you do.
Say no to almost everything

Before taking on a new obligation, ask yourself- Does this earn it’s way into my life? Most often the answer will be no.

Avoid everything that sucks up your time and in extention - your life
Prepare for the worst.

There is this saying 'hope for the best, prepare for the worst'

Figure out what you’re most afraid of happening.

Come up with simple plans to:
1. Reduce the probability of each of those things, and
2. Respond if and when they do happen.
Stop spending time on social media

Social media is the number one way that people waste time when they should be doing something productive.

It usually isn’t even fun- it has become a cesspit of pointless arguments, and unhealthy social comparison
Start a side business

Having a second income source provides the same benefits as saving money: less stress, more financial freedom.

A side business gives you control over your life, the thought of scaling up your business if you lose your job gives you tremendous flexibility.

An unprecedented number of people became digital marketers in 2020 - partly due to the pandemic.

Many succeeded, many more have failed.

Those who failed most likely believed one or more of the following myth.

A thread...
Myth 1 – Digital marketing can make you get rich quick.

Yes, digital marketing can help you earn money, but not so easy and fast as you may think.

You need to invest a lot of time and patience.

Most people quit when they don't make that money. Never believe that myth.
Myth 2 – Digital marketing is reserved only for the rocket scientists

LOL... There must be a lot of rocket scientist here on Twitter then,

Anyone can succeed in this, a little discipline, dedication and mentoring will go a long way.

If you could spend $1 and get $2 back, how many $ would you spend? Everything you could get your hands on right?

That's one of the best things about Solo ads.

For every dollar you spend, you know exactly how much you can get in return.

A short thread.
Let's imagine this.

You spend $97 to buying 150 clicks.

You know the approximate amount of visitors to expect to click your link

You also know that each one of those visitors cost you $0.65.
Imagine half of those visitors (75) subscribe to your email list.

Then every new subscriber has cost you $1.29

Imagine if just 4 people purchased your product and you get a commission of $25 per sale.

You'd have made $100 after spending $97.

Albert Einstein said, “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.

They don't think beyond their degrees.

6 reasons some certificate holders are poor.

A thread...
- They prioritize their certificate over their gifts/talents

We are all gifted for something, the winning edge comes from our ability to work on our gifts and bless the world with it.

- Their certificate prepare them for a world that no longer exists.

The world has changed a lot, and so are people’s need!

The present form of university education does not prepare students for the future.

Six productivity hacks Elon Musk sent to his staff.

In a leaked memo, Elon Musk sent every employee in Tesla his six rules for productivity

A thread...
1. Leave a meeting if you are not contributing

Walk out of a meeting or hang up the phone the moment you realise you are not contributing.

If you are not adding value — get the hell out of there.

It is not rude to leave, it is rude to waste other people’s time.
2. Avoid large meetings.

The smaller the meeting, the more productive it will be.

Don't just go to a meet to nod or fill empty seats.

Anyone who doesn’t need to be there is wasting their time and will ultimately waste everyone else’s time
