I spent 100 hours studying the habits of the world's top billionaires.

Here are 8 habits that have dramatically changed my life...

This morning, I had breakfast with my family. They were using these tiny spoons to scoop up cereal.

I sat down, planted my face in the milk, and finished the whole bowl in 3 big slurps.

"Eat like a lion, not like a cow."

After breakfast, I always brush my teeth.

Except I don't use the toothbrush - no I prefer the toilet brush.

Disgusting? You bet. But I do it because I want to:

"Get comfortable with being uncomfortable every day."

Before my kid goes to school, I make her play the board game RISK with me.

She hates it - we've been playing the same match for 2 years, taking 1 turn a day.

It's not about the game though, I'm teaching her a life lesson to:

"Play long term games with long-term people."

Next, I had a tough phone call to make.

It was with my friend Ryan, who was the best man at my wedding.

Ryan's a great guy but his flaw is that he's only 5'3".

I told Ryan that we can't be friends anymore because:

"You are the average of your five closest friends."

During lunch, my wife asked me why it's taking me 6 months to order blinds for our house.

She pointed at the pile of 200 free swatches on the dining table.

I tell her to be patient because billionaires need time to:

"Sweat the details to get results."

After lunch, I make time to sweep the floor.

I'm not talking about an actual floor. No, I visit 100 NFT @discord servers to paste:

"Sweep the floor now!
🧹 🧹 🧹 🧹 🧹"

I do this every day because:

"All returns in life come from compound actions."

In the afternoon, I usually take a walk while repeating my transcendental meditation mantra out loud:

"Creator economy
Community
Web 3"

It's part of my daily habit to:

"Be the top 25% in the world at [saying] 3 things."

When I get home from my walk, there are usually 10 people in Patagonia vests following me with cash and term sheets.

I welcome them to my house before asking them to sweep the actual floor.

You see cash is fine but:

"Time > money"

Alright, that's all the billionaire secrets that I'm willing to share today.
