Once you've seen this visual, you'll never think of 1% as a tiny number ever again.
Although 1% is small, it compounds over time. 1% better every day for a year is not 5x or 10x better, it's 37x better.
Small changes can lead to huge results.

Every area of life is ruled by the 80/20 principle.
80% of your results come from 20% of your effort.
Ex: 80% of your revenue comes from 20% of your customers.
Find the source of the 20% and focus on that to become more productive.

At every age, your balance with money, time, and health shifts.
Be aware of these changes and plan your life accordingly.
Pro Tip: Trade your money to have more time and better health. Money is replaceable, time and health aren't.

Your dream goal may seem far away, but that doesn't mean it's impossible.
Think backwards: Break it down into a 5-year, 1-year, 1-month, 1-week, and 1-day goal.
But act forwards: 1-day goal, 1-week, 1-month, 1-year, 5-year.

Ever wonder what separates the rich from everyone else?
This visual explains that.
The rich invest in assets that appreciate in value & generate income, while the middle class buys liabilities that will depreciate in value.

When the stock market goes down people freak out and sell. But once you understand this graph, you'll realize dips are quite normal.
A 5% drop can happen multiple times a year, but the stock market as a whole keeps going up. HODL.

The most important equation I learned from a self-help book:
β’Β Behavior = Motivation x Ability x Prompt
If you want to perform a habit, either increase your motivation to do it or make it easier to do by decreasing the difficulty.

Everything in life worth doing will require you to overcome the dip.
When you start a new project, it's fun and exciting. But then the dip happens and you feel stuck.
It's at this point, you have to decide whether to quit or to keep going.

The earlier you start investing, the more powerful the effect of compounding will be.
That's how one person can invest $54k and end up with $1M while another person invests $81k but ends up with only $285k.
Start investing today.

If you ever find yourself in court, make sure to have your lawyer schedule the hearing first thing in the morning.
Early in the day, judges ruled in favor of prisoners ~65% of the time.
By late morning, it dropped to ~0%.
