9 Things I Did To Become The CEO Of My Life

/THREAD/

1. I invested in myself

I have been constantly investing money and time into

• Financial literacy
• High-paying skills
• Building a social media presence
• Networking with high-quality people

My biggest investment by far has been in myself and has given me infinite ROI

2. I fired and hired

I "fired" from my life people that are:

• Toxic
• Deadweight
• Demotivating

I "hired" new people who are:

• Optimistic
• Helping me grow
• Value my time and skills

I am the average of my closest people, that's why I only "hire" the best

3. I valued my time

Time is my most valuable asset and I am very frugal with it

I don't waste it

• Partying
• Gossiping
• Watching Netflix

I invest it in high ROI activities

• Self-learning
• Exercising
• Writing

4. I read

Two of the most powerful CEOs, Warren Buffet and Bills Gates, are avid readers

I have added this habit to my daily life and since then

• Improved my vocabulary
• Expanded my knowledge
• Reduced stress

The right books will open a whole new world to you

5. I networked

Instead of scrolling through social media as a passive consumer, I used it to expand my network

Have met some amazing people along the way from various backgrounds and with different skillsets

If my network is my net worth, I definitely got richer

6. I promoted myself

I constantly promote myself on and off social media

It doesn't matter who you know, but who knows you

If the worst-case scenario is to get a "NO", I will go for it

The more I network, the better my chances of getting a great opportunity

7. I created systems

I have systems for my

• 9-5 work
• Content creation
• Diet and exercise

Systems help me stay on track with my goals and be consistent

That way I make sure I am

• Valuable
• Productive
• Disciplined

I created my 9-5 systems by using @Evernote and @Trello

I created my diet and exercise systems by journalling

I created my content creation systems by using Create24/7 and Zlappo

@evernote @trello 8. I focused on fundamentals, not the stock price

My "stock price" metrics

• Fancy lifestyle
• Social recognition

My "fundamental" metrics

• Skills and expanding network
• Consistent investing

My stock price will catch up with the fundamentals sooner or later

@evernote @trello 9. I scaled

Using the right systems and being consistent has increased my

• Salary
• Investment returns
• Content quality and engagement
• Free time and quality of personal life

Now I can receive better results with less effort

@evernote @trello To summarize:

1. I invested in myself
2. I fired and hired
3. I valued my time
4. I read
5. I networked
6. I promoted myself
7. I created systems
8. I focused on fundamentals, not the stock price
9. I scaled

@evernote @trello This is the blueprint I used to become the CEO of my life and take matters into my own hands

Apply the same principles and transform your life
