6. Accept responsibility
7. Embrace mistakes
8. Learn how to say NO

1 Be a lifelong learner

Lifelong learners recognize the importance of personal development (and embrace the journey).

They are never satisfied. They always seek to improve. They never settle for just "knowing".

This is what keeps you youthful.
This is what sets you apart. Image
2 Embrace optimism

See the glass as half full instead of half empty.

Your mindset is a CHOICE

The most successful people I know are also the most optimistic. This is not a coincidence. Image
3 Have high standards

Quality control for life.

When you adopt high standards you will become more authentic. Others will respect you more. You will develop a stronger identity.

Never attach your name to anything mediocre.

Make excellence a choice. Image
4. Focus on creative outputs

Creativity is the route to authenticity.

The more you create, the more you discover who YOU are. Great works are made through great habits. Image
5. Spend time in nature

Enjoy Nature. Go on a pointless walk. Soak in the sunshine. You were put on Planet Earth for a reason.

Enjoy your time here. Trust me. Image
6. Accept responsibility

The day you start living is the day you take responsibility.

Stop blaming your parents.
Stop blaming other people.
Stop blaming society.

There is only one person responsible for your life.
(It's YOU) Image
7. Embrace mistakes

Everything at its core is a learning experience.
Believe in change. Failure does not exist.
Never let failure manifest in your mind.

View everything as a new possibility. Image
8. Learn how to say NO

The moment you start saying yes to everything is the moment you live on others people's terms.

Stop letting others dictate your life.
It's okay to make yourself a priority. Image
9. Stop caring what others think

No one else's opinion should matter more than your OWN. Most people are too ill-informed to make clear judgments on your life. You call the shots.

Life is too short to live in judgment. Image

People care too much about degrees, titles, certifications. None of that matters.

Life itself is the real IQ test.
Do not be fooled by degrees.

I have a Master's in education. I can tell you firsthand that many academics are complete rubes. At the same time, I've met laborers that were brilliant.

People confuse education with intelligence.
I've been offered to teach at University.

Turned it down. I wanted to get out into the real world. College feels like an MLM. They treat students like they are piggybanks. It's repulsive.

Now I teach people how to make money online
(it pays better)

10 Golden Rules for Millionaires

Six years ago I had a net worth of $0.
Now I'm a millionaire and retired.

These are the ideas that will make you wealthy.

// THREAD
1. Create more than consume

Live a life dedicated to creating rather than consuming.
This is the quickest way toward wealth.

Why?
Creators continually provide value to the world.
(therefore they are continually rewarded)

These rewards come monetarily and spiritually.
Create more than consume

Wealthy people create more than consume.

EX
Lottery winners go broke quickly.
Their money was handed to them.
All they know how to do is spend it.
They never learned the right way.

Want to be wealthy?
Look at consumer culture and do the opposite.

As a public school teacher, I have one word of advice to all of the parents: Homeschool your children.
A lot of people are asking why?

There is little joy left in public school teaching anymore. Everyone is looked at like they are a number. No joy in classrooms does NOT = Lifelong learners.
To the naysayers, why do you think school is normal?

Children spend around 8 hrs/M-F surrounded by people their own age and a handful of adults learning about mitochondria.

School isn’t about learning. It’s about passing.
If anything, it makes them less intelligent.

My journey from $0 to $1 Million

17 Lessons I Learned

//THREAD
1. Know you are high-value

High-value individuals have aspirations. They will work toward goals without letting anyone else get in the way.

When you have self-worth you will work harder to give yourself the life you deserve. It is expected.

Value yourself and feel worthy.
2. Always invest in yourself

The benefits of self-improvement last a lifetime. You will continually reap the rewards. When you begin to go down this path it will impact your rate-of-return in every avenue of life.

The knowledge you gain compounds.

Growth becomes exponential.

The Art of Purpose

If you wish to find meaning in your life, read on.

//Thread
Most men never think about their purpose.

Most men are vapid and shallow.

They only care about fads and trends.

They follow a path defined by society.

Eat, sleep, wake up.

Rinse and repeat.

Thinking about life is too hard.

(This is why so many are depressed)
A life purpose is where life begins.

And a life mission is where you start.

Without a mission, others will direct the course of your life.

Trust me, these "other" people do not have your interests in mind.

The 25 Worst Pieces of Advice I've Seen

(and why)

// THREAD
1. “Follow your passion.”

NO - stop wasting your time. Make money.

Then you use your wealth to pursue your passion.

Build the foundation first.
2. “Choose career over family.”

I see so many slaving at their job and it’s usually a dead-end job. They pay little attention to their children. It’s sad.

If you have to choose one always choose family.

Rich people choose both.
