A few things the self-help books won't teach you about success.

Life is too short to interact with folks who don’t make your life better or make you better at life.
The key to success is about lifting people up, not pulling them down.
Perfectionists are at a huge disadvantage in this world.
Time is our most valuable resource.
Efficiency and speed is way more important than perfect.

A career is like a series of games.
The key to winning is taking a step back early on and figuring out which game is worth playing and which one isn’t.
Too many people play the wrong games with stiff competition and shitty prizes and wonder why it’s hard af to get ahead.

If somebody complains about something to you and every time, right away you offer up a solution and explain how they could solve it and its actually in their control...
Nobody likes you.

Caring deeply about politics is a great way to live an unhappy life.
I’m convinced being physically fit and strong is a huge part of overall happiness.
You can be late to the party and still get plenty of cake.
It’s amazing how many incompetent people in this world earn amazing money because they aren’t insecure.
Do something that isn’t fun for a few years so you can do whatever you want for the rest of your life.
Likability is way more important than you think it is.
How to be likeable?

Be in a good mood, tell good stories, and ask good questions.

A sad truth:
50% of people are totally incompetent.
Terrible decisions. Unable to take on responsibility and very unreliable.
Another 30% that are nice, try hard and show up but don’t get much done.
The last 20% carry everyone and produce 80% of the output.

Every single person over the age of 50 cares the most about the same thing:
Their kids and grandkids.
Building a family is a sacrifice in your 30s. But you reap the rewards later.

Want to lose a ton of money?
Educate a market on your product.

The problem most people find themselves in:
The pay at their job is just enough to cover the consumer needs and wants (which are never assets) and that paycheck becomes the most addicting thing in the world.

There are two types of people in this world:
People who feel they need to learn everything there is to know about something before they give it a shot (so they rarely, if ever, shoot).
And people who figure it out as they go (and take a lot of shots and hit sometimes).

Something people don’t understand about success:
To do anything big you have to do a lot of small, unassuming, tedious things.
If you’re too good for the little stuff, you’ll end up going down as the idea guy with analysis paralysis and a job you’re overqualified for.

A sad realization:
99% of people in this world haven't done the work to develop their own views and opinions.
They hang on what other people say and are easily influenced.
Doing the work isn't easy, but its worth it.

If you have none, money is everything.

People who work hard for a long time.
And people who work smart for a short time (and out earn the hard workers by 10x).

If you’re considering marrying someone who wants to be (or already is) an attorney or a doctor, don’t.

This world is full of amazing people and opportunity for everyone.
Stop falling for the narrative and go get yourself a piece of the pie.
There is money flying around everywhere!
