How to Get Rich.
Let's be honest, almost everyone wants to be rich (or richer).
There's no shame in wanting that.
In fact, Islam urges you to be rich! That's why Allah tells you to pay zakat.
I need 50 RT.
Then I will share how I got to 6 Digits in 1 year during MCO 1.0.

I'm not going to add my bank balance here because that would be stupid.
So you're going to have blind faith in me.
That's ok, I'm not going to fool you into stupid things.
In fact, most of what I'll be sharing is downright BORING.
Let's go.

1/ Write the Target
How much do we want to have in our savings?
Write it down.
Now don't be silly to write RM1mil if we've never seen 100k. Or 100k, if we've never seen 10k.
Write a believable number.
Stick on our wall. Stare at it EVERY DAY.

2/ People Need Target
Something magical about human beings is when given believable goals, we'll try to achieve them subconsciously.
Our brain will rewire neurons to meet the goal.
'Eleh poyo'.. F*ck that voice.
You do you.

3/ Master what You Master.
Good at design? Master it.
Good at teaching? Master it.
Good at math? Master it.
Good with guitar? Master it.
People will pay a premium to specialists.

4/ By mastering what we're good at, we teach ourselves
a. Patience
b. Boredom is my friend
c. To be humble
d. Know our purpose on earth
e. To be a better human (soft skills)
and escape 'Shiny New Object', and stop chasing shadows that move as the spotlight changes.

5/ Stoic - Only Control What We Can.
Abandon those we can't control.
Can we control bitcoin? No. Drop.
Can we control stocks? No. Drop.
Can we control people? Maybe. KIV.
Can we control our time? Yes.
Plan our time. Master our skills.

6/ Money is Not the Only Currency
Time & Effort are currencies.
It's the most expensive currency we have.
We can recoup our loss (money), lost time, Einstein didn't live long enough to build a time machine.
Time ≠ Money ..
Time > Money

7/ Don't Be Generous with Our Time.
Successful people learn to say No.
Stop giving our time to people who don't appreciate them. They are time VAMPIRES, they suck.
Stop debating stupid things.
Stop finding the best deal.
Stop binge-watching TV series and drama.

8/ Invest in Ourselves.
"The best time to plant a tree is 10 years ago, the second-best time is now."
Our new currency is Time & Effort.
Don't throw our new currency into the unknown.
Like bitcoin, I don't give a damn (or dime).

9/ A lot of the above is focusing on ourselves because
We are our worst enemy. - Naval Ravikant.
Start with fixing ourselves and pick up a compounding habit,
READ,
THINK,
WRITE.
It's the most boring thing to do
and BORING IS GOOD..

10/ You probably expect me to say something like ...
Do business.
Invest in stocks.
Sell products.
Teach stuff.
I won't because that's a pitiful advice.
What got me here today, wasn't what I did yesterday.
It's 5 years back. I do 1% better every day (maybe some days).

11/ Do the Long Term
Short Term is Our Enemy,
Long Term is Our Friend.
If we don't see ourselves doing it for the next 10 years, then don't do it.

Long Term is Our Friend.

12/ How do we spend?
Within our means.
I don't change my phone every year.
I don't spend on wagyu.
I don't spend to look cool.
More importantly,
I don't spend to impress other people.
I spent on things I use daily,
which buys my time back.

13/ If You are Not Happy with 1k
You'll never be happier even if you have 10k, 100k, 1m.
Money can't buy us happiness, but
money can buy options.
Options give us freedom of choice.

14/ So rewire our brain,
Money is not (as) important.
Being happy is.
Be comfortable in our own skin.
Master Our Skills.
Master Our Minds.
Master Ourselves.
When we appreciate ourselves,
people will see our genius.

15/ Finally, How Do We Get Rich?
SLOOOOOOWLY ..
(Noticed, I didn't put how quick I got to 100k?)
Bookmark the First Thread.
Revisit every now and then.
I don't have a product or course to sell. I only wanted your friendship, that's good enough for me.
