1 You aren't owed anything
People like to act like the world owes them something. It doesn't. You have to earn it. Take charge of your life and get what you want. There is nothing else to it.
2 Money can buy happiness
Money makes you financially secure and that leads to happiness. The biggest benefit is that you will sleep well at night. All tension will begin to melt away from life.
Stop listening to all of these hustlers that say money doesn’t = happiness. It can.
3 No one cares more than you
You need to give your life the attention that it deserves. No one is going to step in and do the work for you.
Start by taking full responsibility.
Once you accept this realization it can bring a tremendous sense of power and control to your life.
4 Degrees do not give superpowers
People confuse education with intelligence.
I’ve met academics that were rubes.
I’ve met laborers that were brilliant.
Don't get caught up in the hype,
Life itself is the REAL IQ test
5 You can’t be friends with everyone
Having a terrible person in your circle is a reflection of YOU. Curate your friendships. Ditch toxic relationships.
You are a reflection of your 5 closest friends.
Choose wisely.
6 Eat properly & you will lose weight
If you want to lose weight, put down the fork. It's that simple. Show some self-control and you will get the results your desire. Eating habits matter more than exercise.
7 Earn more/spend less to be wealthy
Think of money like they are soldiers,
every single one of them counts.
Be ruthless when it comes to personal finance. Skip pointless purchases and invest the difference. If you show respect to money, it will respect you back.
Here's everything I know about building an online biz:
1. Building an audience an online audience is more valuable than an Ivy League degree
2. Adopt the Creator Mindset - 90% of X users consume / 9% comment / 1% Solve problems - be in the 1% that solves problems
3. You need to move fast (and take action)
4. Make as many friends as possible
5. Focus on making money from day one
6. Hit publish every SINGLE DAY
7. Build on as many platforms as possible
8. Start an email list
9. Pay attention to the 80/20 rule - only give attention to things that bring you results. Move more in that direction. This is one of the best biz lessons I've ever learned.
Understand that your parents are only human. And we all make mistakes. Forgive past trauma with your parents and take full responsibility for your future actions.
Stop chasing titles
The internet taught me one thing - qualifications don't matter. This is because, on a worldwide stage, people with real skills are ultimately rewarded.
