How to hack your hormones to make you more productive:
You’ll learn how to stimulate these 4 hormones:

- Dopamine
- Serotonin
- Oxytocin
- Endorphins
1/ Dopamine

Dopamine is the “feel-good” hormone.

It’s responsible for the reward system in your brain.

Here’s how to stimulate it:

- Complete a task
- Get good sleep
- Listen to music
- Gamify your life
2/ Serotonin

Serotonin is the “regulator” hormone.

It’s responsible for decreasing stress, and increasing happiness.

Here’s how to stimulate it:

- Meditate
- Go for a walk
- Go to the gym
- Get some sunlight
3/ Oxytocin

Oxytocin is the “love” hormone.

It’s responsible for the connected feeling you have with others.

Here’s how to stimulate it:

- Have sex
- Pet your dog or cat
- Give someone a hug
4/ Endorphins

Endorphins are the “painkiller” hormone.

It’s responsible for pain relief, stress reduction, and an improved sense of well-being.

- Exercise
- Have more sex
- Eat dark chocolate
- Watch something funny

Building a business is hard.

But it doesn't need to be.

I've stuck to the same set of business-building rules for years.

They've helped me make over $1.1M.

Hope it's helpful to someone [🧵]:
Rule #1: Know Your Customer

Your customer is an entire person.

They aren’t just interested in buying your “thing”

They have a life, a personality, and interests.

The more you know every detail of who they are, the more chance you have at selling to them.
Rule #2: Don’t Sell

Let’s just say you’re selling a fat loss program…

Do you think people jump onto Twitter telling themselves they need to lose weight?

Probably not.

People go onto Twitter to consume entertainment, not to buy.

Money makes you happy to an extent.

Then you have to look elsewhere for the answers you’re really looking for.

But there’s a feeling that’ll never get old [🧵]:
I’m sharing this with you to show you what’s possible.

In 2018 I was getting paid $8 an hour.

Working 40 to 50 hours a week.

Making roughly $1,400 a month.
I make my old salary on a normal day now.

There have been times that I’ve made 15x my old salary in a day.

And this feeling cannot be explained.

At age 5, his father died.

At age 16, he left school.

At age 17, he had lost four jobs.

At age 18, he got married.

Here's the incredible story of Colonel Sanders, founder of KFC:
Between ages 18 and 22, he was a railroad conductor and failed.

He joined the army and washed out there.

He applied for law school and he was rejected.

He became an insurance salesman and failed again.
At age 19 he became a father.

At age 20 his wife left him and took their baby daughter.

He became a cook and dishwasher in a small cafe.

He failed in an attempt to kidnap his daughter, eventually, he convinced his wife to return home.

The most I’ve generated in a month for my business was $74,587.

When I started I used to do all the stuff we’re advised to do:

- Launch a product
- Launch a course
- Build funnels
- Endlessly post on social media

That didn’t work for me…

Here’s what I did instead [🧵]:
1/ Build real relationships

It’s your imperative duty to get to know your target audience.

I used to think I was bugging people by messaging them…

But as soon as I got over that, it’s truly amazing what can happen.
An easy way to do this is by showing genuine interest.

When you do this, you'll notice people will do the same for you.

It makes having conversations seamless.

Once this part is a breeze, move onto the next steps:

If you listen to these things, they’ll change your life:
1/ Your Curiosity

If you’re not curious, get curious.

One of the fastest ways to get ANYTHING in life is to be curious.

You get this sense of adventure and satisfaction from it.
2/ Your Gut

The reason a lot of people lack fulfillment is because they’re not following their gut.

Choose to live in alignment with what you want.

Most of your problems are just a decision away from being solved.

You can make a full-time income with the most basic business.

Here's how [🧵]:
Step #1: Identify a Niche

If you don't already have a skill, then this is hard.

Because if you have a skill, finding a niche is easy.

So before you ask yourself:

"Who should I sell to?"
Ask yourself this instead:

"Do I already have a high-demand skill?"

If you don't, read this thread (after this one ofc):
