Areas where flawed thinking leads to mistakes.
10 MISTAKES you didn't know you were making (and how to rethink them):
1. Making Age a Factor
Age has little to do with what you are capable of. You're never too young or too old to go after what you want.
What matters is focus, drive, and the capacity to learn and iterate at speed.
Be ageless. Act from within.

2. Doubting Things Will Work
Things always work. If... you put in the work.
When they're not working, it means you haven't done 'the work.'
Dig deeper. Bring your passion and excitement to the process. Commit completely.
The results are waiting, for you to show up.

3. Getting Caught in the Comparison Trap
Comparison might work for a minute. But long term, it's a killer.
Forget about others. Your growth path is unique.
The only person you should compare yourself with is YOU.
Aim for personal best.

4. Doing Too Much or Too Little
A vital skill is knowing what to do, how much, and when.
Run your actions through a filter:
What actually matters here?
What will have the most positive impact?
How can I bring real value?
Only do what passes the test.

5. Not Understanding the Power of Energy
The real differentiator among people is not education, culture, income-bracket or any of the usual ways we divide humanity.
It is: Energy. Frequency. Wavelength.
Match your energy with your goals. Become your aspirational self.

6. Avoiding the Inner Work
Since childhood you've been taught: what to do, what to believe, what is right, what is wrong. And more.
But you have not been taught to understand WHO you are.
Invest in getting to know yourself. Do the inner work. It will pay huge dividends.

7. Mistaking Action for Momentum
Action can be seductive. Look at all the stuff I'm doing!
But to be effective, action must be balanced by inaction.
Stillness leads to clarity.
Clarity births incisive action.
Incisive action builds momentum.

8. Not Valuing Play
Play is a most powerful teacher.
When you are playing you are being your truest self.
Play connects you with what is meaningful. Reveals your talents. And builds the strongest bonds of friendship.
Reconnect with your 5 year old self and play more.

9. Thinking You HAVE the Answer
There is nothing truer than 'You don't know what you don't know.'
Never assume you know. Especially when it comes to others. Be curious. Stay open. Keep learning and seeking deeper understanding.
There are universes waiting to be discovered.

10. Thinking You DON'T Have the Answer
What? You just said the opposite!
You know more than you think.
Your journey, long or short, has taught you many things.
The real value you bring to the world is your unique perspective and understanding.
Figure it out. Monetize it.
