1. $100K IS NOT A LOT OF MONEY
Not even close
If you are making $100K a year that's approximately $5,000 in post tax income per month

With the average rent for a studio in a major city like NYC at $2K+ this means that you cannot even afford to live there (using the 1/3 of income as rent rule, you need at least $6K post tax)
If you cannot afford to live in your own place in a major city...
You’re no where near rich

2. SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE ARE NICE
In college you’re taught to hate the rich and believe that they are all a**holes
In reality, the elite are actually easy to get along with...
The catch is they don’t enjoy wasting time

The catch is they don’t enjoy wasting time
If you’re of no value and don’t have potential they will quickly move on since there is no point in building a relationship
This isn’t mean, this is realistic
There are many other promising people that they can spend their time with

3. 60 HOURS IS LONGER THAN YOU THOUGHT
When you graduated, you believed that 12 hour work days would not be that bad
In reality it causes you to be excruciatingly efficient
If you work 14 hours in a day, your mind becomes tired by hour 10

You have not had the chance to work out, do laundry, or relax...
Time to make adjustments

4. YOUR COLLEGE FRIENDS GO AWAY
If college was the best time of your life, you did it wrong
You may keep 1 or 2 around who are equally successful, but if the gang from college is always together, there are serious problems

Your friends in college will be quickly replaced by business associates, as they say:
“It is hard to hate someone that makes you money”

5. READING INCREASES COMMUNICATION SKILLS
You will be writing an email or talking on the phone one year after graduation and you’ll struggle
For some reason the words are not flowing as much as they used to..
The reason? You’re not reading as much as you should

Pick up a few books and begin reading 100+ pages a week at minimum
It keeps your brain fresh and you will come off as more mature and polished

6. CONSISTENT SLEEP IS BETTER THAN HOURS SLEPT
In short, it is best to sleep at the same time every single day of the week
While 9 hours a day may sound better, if you are not sleeping at the same time your biological clock goes haywire

Waking up at the same time on a daily basis will allow your mind to run like a well oiled machine
7) WOMEN ARE BETTER LIARS THAN MEN
They have better people skills in general
What this means is you’ll believe a lot of the smoke and mirrors

Once you realize that they are simply human, you’ll intelligently adjust your phrases to catch them in lies that determine their level of loyalty
You won’t be surprised that less than 5% will pass

8. YOU CAN GET STRONGER
Assuming you are dedicated to being fit, there is no reason to be in worse shape than you were in college
Your body continues to get stronger through your late 20s Use this to your advantage

You need to walk around more frequently since you’ll be sitting at a desk for the most part
9. COMPLAINERS ARE ALL LOSERS
There is no debating this one, as soon as someone complains about topic X, be certain they know absolutely nothing about that topic

10. COST DOESN'T MATTER
The idea of “big purchase” vs a “small purchase” should be squashed
The only question you need to ask is “What is my return?”
If an item costs $500 or $5,000 the only thing that should matter is the return on investment
