5 Viruses Plaguing Your Mind.

The deadliest pandemic is the one nobody's talking about.

-THREAD-
1. Constant Motivational Content

You're a junkie waiting for your next fix.

"Just one more video, then I'll start..." you tell yourself.

Reliant on YouTube dopamine dealers to get anything done.

But you never do.

The only rehab is discipline.
2. Self Deprecating Memes

It's become a contest of who's the most:

• Broke
• Stupid
• Anxious
• Depressed

You think you're joking but your subconscious thinks otherwise.

The brain needs consistency.

It manifests the identity you give it.
3. Newsfeeds

Think this.
Hate that.
Love those.

You're always being programmed.

The smart people just find the right things to program them.

Unfollow those you don't want to be like and follow the ones you do.
4. Pornography

Porn is frying your dopamine receptors.

Rewarding your brain for unearned pleasure.

Eventually your brain gets used to this.

So when it comes time to do something that requires effort, your motivation is nonexistent.
5. Negative Friends

Given enough time, friends' opinions become yours.

If you're trying to be your best and constantly criticized for it, cut them out of your life.

Flowers don't grow when surrounded by weeds.

This is Charlie Munger’s favorite book.

“You will never make a better investment."

Naval Ravikant, Harvard, Stanford, and Forbes all consider it one of the best business books ever written.

Here are 6 principles from "Influence" that shape every decision you make: Image
Robert Cialdini spent 3 years undercover studying persuasion to write this book.

"Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion" is considered the bible of persuasion, influence, & marketing.

The book explains the powerful psychology of why people say "yes" & how to persuade anyone:
1. Reciprocity: Give first, receive later

Humans are wired to return favors.

If you give something first, whether it’s free advice or a gift—people feel compelled to give back.

I went from 0 to 270k+ followers on 𝕏 in under 3 years.

All because of 1 thing:

The GAP Framework.

Here's exactly how it works: Image
The GAP Framework follows 3 content types:

1. Growth content
2. Authority content
3. Personal content

I’ll break it down (with a real-life example):
1. Growth Content

This is content like trends, worldwide events, and well-known figures.

My client, Farouk tried this and gained 1,000+ followers from 1 post:

1. He analyzed 115 posts from a well-known figure.
2. Turned the data into insights.
3. Went viral.

2018: 84-hour weeks as an electrician.
2020: Minimum wage at Dominos.
2022: $47K month business while traveling the world.

If you want to learn the best 'freedom' business to start in 2025, read this: Image
Most fail at business for 1 reason:

0 interest in the work.
0 interest = 0 motivation.
0 motivation = 0 results.

Then you chase the next shiny object.

But the biz I'm talking about is fun + in high demand.

It's why my beginner clients have gotten results like this: Image
1. Ghostwriting (WTF Is It?)

Just like Drake uses ghostwriters for songs...

People like:

• Donald Trump
• Tony Robbins
• Gary V

Pay ghostwriters to write speeches, emails, and books in their name.

But this post is about a special type.

(that's gotten results like this). Image

Mainstream media is dead.

Even Matthew McConaughey knows it.

That's why he's hitting every podcast there is to promote his new book.

Here’s what this means for the future of attention (and how you can profit from it): Image
The game has changed.

10 years ago? You needed mainstream media to reach millions of people.

Now? The barriers are gone.

Anyone with an iPhone and an internet connection can build a bigger audience than CNN.
Think about it:

• McConaughey could be on any TV network
• He's been in the biggest movies ever
• He's already worth over $160m

But he's choosing creators over traditional media.

I went from 0 to 250,000 followers on 𝕏

It took me less than 3 years.

Here's my simple 5-step blueprint to go from 0 to 10k on 𝕏 in 2025: Image
First, the numbers don't lie:

• Monthly active users did a 2x in the last year
• Creator payouts are increasing every day
• Engagement is at all-time highs

Now for the blueprint:
1. Content Strategy

Use the GAP Framework:

Growth content (trending topics)
Authority content (solve problems)
Personal content (share your story)

This creates the perfect mix of reach and retention.

2020: Delivering pizzas for $12/hour
2021: Got 1st copywriting client for $150
2022: Landing $3K-$7K/month ghostwriting clients

My simple business strategy (free blueprint):
Step 1: Pick a Skill

To get paid, you need to be useful.

The best way is to pick a skill:

1. That solves a painful problem.
2. That have an interest in.

Bigger problem = Bigger paycheck.
My strategy:

• Chose writing (because I liked it + high demand)
• Created content that was useful + had personality

Here's a simple cheat sheet I made on this:
