When you can control these 12 habits, you'll be happier than 94.8% of people:
1. How personal you take things

If you’re easily offendable, you’re in for a bumpy ride.

Building thick skin is the key to a happy life.

Try not to take things so personally.
2. Your effort and focus

You have full control over how hard you work and how focused you are.

Whatever you decide to do, maximize your effort and focus.

You’ll thank yourself later.
3. What you believe

Your beliefs shape your reality.

Be educated on both sides of the spectrum.

Once you’ve found your beliefs, stick to them relentlessly.
4. Your priorities

Where your focus goes, energy flows.

Make sure you’re prioritizing the things that matter to you.

If they:

- Make you happy
- Make you money
- Get you in shape

Prioritize them!
5. How open-minded you are

Being open is like a cheat code for life.

It opens you up for:

- Different cultures
- Opportunities
- Different opinions

It’s the best way to grow your character.
6. How kind you are

Kindness over everything.

You don’t know what people are going through behind closed doors.

Be kind, the law of reciprocity will reward you for your good deeds.
7. What you think about

“He who thinks he can, and he who think he can’t, are both right”

Make sure your thoughts are fueled by positivity.
8. What you talk about

Similar to your thoughts.

Make sure what you talk about is congruent to what you want in your life.
9. Your happiness

You’re in full control of your happiness.

You control what goes into your mind.

You control what you talk about.

Make sure it feeds happiness into your life.
10. How serious you take life

Life is short, and you should take it seriously.

Be a professional about your life.

Don’t float around.

Have goals and purposes, and take them seriously.
11. Who you hang out with

Your network is your net worth.

Want to know the easiest way to level up your life?

Hand around with the right people.
12. How big you dream

Your dreams shape your future.

Dream big, ridiculously big.

What’s the worst thing that can happen?

TL,DR:

1/ How personal you take things
2/ Your effort and focus
3/ What you believe in
4/ Your priorities
5/ How open-minded you are
6/ How kind you are
7/ What you think about

How to start a conversation with anyone (even total strangers):
1/ Open the gates

Once the first word is out, the flood gates open.

Easy conversation openers are:

- What do you do for fun?
- Tell me more about you?
- Working on anything exciting lately?

Once the conversation is open, follow the next steps to keep it going:
2/ Be bold

Avoid small talk, embrace boldness instead.

Ask simple and personal questions:

- Who’s your role model?
- What’s your biggest fear?
- What’s your biggest regret?

You’d be surprised by how people will open up to bold and brave questions.

If you want to fix 80% of your problems, read this:
Morning ritual

Having a morning ritual will change your life.

And it doesn’t need to be:

- Cold showers
- Reading
- Yoga

I personally:

- Journal
- Stretch

Both of these take less than 30 minutes and set me up for my day.
The 5-minute rule

If you can do something in less than 5 minutes, do it immediately.

This could be:

- Your dishes
- Your laundry
- Responding to an email

Doing this prevents clutter from building up.

You often hear people say:

“If you want to get paid big, just solve big problems”

It makes sense, but it’s vague advice.

Here’s how you can solve big problems, and get paid big $$$ [🧵]:
In 2019, I closed my first client for $800.

In 2022, I closed my highest paying client, $60k.

That’s a 75x increase in 3 years.

This is why what I’m about to tell you is so important.
To put it simply:

Your job is to solve ONE major problem your audience is facing.

But there are 1,000 different ways to solve that 1 problem.

And your job is to go through each solution and find the most effective one.

These small habits will save you time and improve your life effortlessly:
1/ Drink more water

The human brain is 80% water, and the body is 60% water.

If you’re not drinking enough, this can:

- Headaches
- Low energy
- Mood swings

Ideally, drink between 3/4 liters a day.
2/ Say “no” more often

The word “no” is a powerful sentence.

Say it more too:

- Have control of your life
- Have control of your decisions
- Have control of your happiness

The more you say “no”, the more control you’ll have.

I've done $1.1M in sales over the last 3 years.

Without a team of people, or complex tools and software.

I run my entire business with the help of these 7 "no-code" tools [🧵]:
Tool #1: ToDoIst

An incredible free task organization tool.

You can split your tasks into different projects, and add labels, notes, and descriptions.
Tool #2: Power Thesaurus

A comprehensive online thesaurus.

All you have to do is input a word and it will spit out definitions, synonyms, acronyms, antonyms, and examples.
