Definitive Guide To DOING The OPPOSITE (part 2/3)

🦋 🦋 INTERMEDIATE EXAMPLES 🦋 🦋

Thread by Sage @BowTiedBull 👇
1. IMPRESS ONLY THOSE WHO MATTER

Most people try to please everyone

That is a recipe for disaster because most people are not worth impressing in the first place

Before u bother trying to build a relationship, do some basic background work and find out if they are worth it
2. PRUNE YOUR CONTACTS

Part of the annual process of elimination is deleting useless contacts from your phone

This is done to prevent unnecessary emotional attachment to old friends
Just because someone has been your friend for 5-10 years does not mean they get a free pass to suddenly complain all day and waste your time

Most people believe that history is a good reason to keep a toxic friend

They are dead wrong
3. BUY THINGS JUST FOR *YOU*

Most people buy items to impress other people

This is another recipe for disaster

Everyone has interests (sports, cars, clothes, drinking, traveling etc.) however these interests should be yours and *yours only*
Go out and try hundreds of activities and find out which ones you actually enjoy. You’ll be surprised

The vast majority of people *say* they don’t care about the opinions of other people

But.
Look at what they *do*
They care about the opinion of others

So do the opposite

If you are going to spend some money on a material item? Great, buy it for yourself only

If you are going to buy something for a friend, great, don’t buy it because u are trying to coax them into something
Just give it to them and move on because it is what you wanted to do in the first place

Money is to be spent on:

1) making more money or
2) making you happier long-term

That is all
4. FIND *LEGITIMATE* MENTORS

'Legitimate' means he invests real time in your success

It means he's actively engaged in your life, not just listening to you
A person that is constantly trying to improve (you) will eventually hit a decision point

Instead of running with his instinct, he calls up a few trusted mentors to gather
ideas on what direction to go in

That is different from someone simply saying “do X” (the fake mentor)
5. BUILD SKILLS IN YOUR 20s

Most people believe that partying and chasing girls until 3 in the morning four nights a week is how u “meet new people”

They even go out and try to run “game” in packs of dudes on the weekend.. during the day! This is wrong.
Think about the people u meet in these environments and you’ll realize that you’re clearly violating rule number 1 by not having a solid screening system

If they are not worth your time go to the tried and tested move to get rid of them: Smile, Nod and agree
After this, delete them from your contacts

And this doesn't mean u become a boring frugal monk.

It means u need to learn to have balance. Go out twice a week (Thu & Sat) and meet attractive women

Thread FIN!!
Watch out for Part 3 tomorrow

DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO DOING THE OPPOSITE (Part 3/3)

🦄🦄 ADVANCED EXAMPLES 🦄🦄

A @BowTiedBull value-bomb Thread 👇
1) WHO YOU ARE DETERMINES YOUR NET WORTH

Don't compare yourself to others. Focus only on improving yourself and your situation

If you have more information on topics X, Y and Z... Then naturally you’re going to move up the food chain
Similarly, if your contact list from year 1 is not the same as year 2...
You did something

Notice. Your network will expand in proportion to how valuable you are as a person

(Part 1/3)

SMALL EXAMPLES 🍹👯‍♂️

(followup threads will cover Intermediate and Advanced Examples)

A pragmatic @BowTiedBull Thread 👇
1) TIP THE WAITER BEFORE SERVICE

If you’re new in town and want to find a good date venue then you should try a few restaurants... Solo
Tip 40% before u even start eating and joke with the waiter that u are making sure he doesn’t blow u up when u bring dates in next time

He won’t know if u're joking about this or if u're using self-deprecating humor

U'll show up with a date next time of course

🖕🖕 MOTIVATION IS FOR THE WEAK! 🖕🖕

Learn the 8-step process to rid yourself of the need for motivation

A @BowTiedBull slap-in-the-face Wisdom Thread 👇
The need for motivation is for the unsuccessful

If you know someone who needs to be lifted up *emotionally* to achieve something... He never wanted it in the first place

He’s simply someone who wishes upon a star for the world to give him something he never deserved
Even worse? He thinks the emotional pump up is good for him

The type of person who gets amped up by written words in a text book or a motivational video, will scour the internet far and wide looking for a solution to his problems

It will never come

MORNING ROUTINES are great and all, but do you think there's just "One Ideal" routine for your whole life?

This thread can change your life right now

How? By incepting in your mind this idea that you CAN and MUST change your routines depending on your SPECIFIC GOALS

Read on 👇
People usually adopt their routines (if any) from their role-models, either consciously or subconsciously

And then they feel bad if they are unable to do the same for extended periods of time

Even if they did, they wonder why their life is not as awesome as their role-models

If you are into fitness and follow news around that world, then you'll see the influencers workout first thing in the morning (mostly)

@jockowillink wakes up at very early daily (like VERY) and silently invigorates half a million people just by posting his waking-up time...

Mistakes We Have Made In The Past (Part 3/3)

⤗ ⤗ ⤗ The BUSINESS Edition 🙎‍♂️🙎‍♂️

A @BowTiedBull Wisdom Thread 👇
1) GET THE A- NOT THE A+ UNLESS YOU OWN EQUITY

There is no reason to go above and beyond unless the results are going to accrue to you

This is seen most in the work environment

Trying to be the #1 person is unlikely a good use of time
Using Wall Street as an example, if you’re in the “top bucket” you’re going to make roughly the same as the #1 ranked person in your class

Maybe you’re off by a few percentage points

Mistakes We've Made In the Past

🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♂️ ~~The HEALTH Edition~~ 🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♂️

A @BowTiedBull Wisdom Thread 👇
❇️ NOT TAKING NUTRITION SERIOUSLY

When you’re young, you can consume practically anything

The most classic items are cheap carbs:
pizza, ramen noodles, lots of rice, candy bars, fast food etc..
Your body is able to consume these items and see no major impact (when you’re young)

This leads to the belief that food is just a way to get rid of the “hunger” feeling

Completely wrong
