I see a lot of bad advice out there when it comes to making money.
Here's my attempt to provide some good...
My honest advice to someone who wants to make a lot of money:
1. The only way to make a lot of money is to create a lot of value.
Here's a harsh truth: No one hands out money. No one is going to pay you just because they like you or think you're cool. That's not the way the world works.
Money earned is a direct byproduct of value created.
The only way to get rich is to create a lot of value for others, and capture a portion of that.
It's not talking about the thing, it's not brainstorming the thing, it's not asking about the thing, it's not thinking about the thing.
I think the whole “alcohol is poison” thing is too black and white.
Social connection is one of the most important factors for your physical health.
If having a beer with your friends promotes that connection, good for you.
If it doesn’t, also good for you.
The point: Do you.
I’ve personally reduced my alcohol consumption about 90-95%, but if I’m with a new or old friend and they want to share a drink of something special, I’m in.
Further, as a society, I think that we should worry less about the couple of beers we drink per month and more about the fact that we stare at phone screens all day, argue on social media with strangers, consume too much sugar, and are far more sedentary than our ancestors.
I'm thrilled to announce that my first book—The 5 Types of Wealth—is officially available for preorder everywhere books are sold!
I believe this book is going to change millions of lives. Its ideas have already changed mine...
So, what is The 5 Types of Wealth all about?
It's about rejecting the default and living life by design.
It's about realizing that your wealthy life may involve money, but in the end, it will be defined by everything else.
In this book, I offer a new way for you to think about your life centered around five types of wealth:
• Time Wealth
• Social Wealth
• Mental Wealth
• Physical Wealth
• Financial Wealth
A new way to measure what matters, make better decisions, and design your life around the pillars that truly create lasting joy and fulfillment.
Importantly, this book will not give you the answers. It will give you the right questions, so that you can uncover and act on them.
While the lens through which you view them will be individual, the stories, questions, ideas, and tools contained in this book are universal.
No matter who you are, or where you are on your journey, this book is for you.
If you’ve enjoyed any of my work, you’re going to find immense value in this book. I guarantee it.
My humble ask: Preorders are extremely important for the success of a book—retailers use the data to determine buys, placement, and more—so I'd be truly grateful for your support as I continue on my mission to create millions of positive ripples in the world.
If you reply and share this tweet, I'll personally message you my thanks and a few ideas I think you'll enjoy in the book. No automations, just me, because real impact is personal and human.
P.S. I'm also offering a bunch of bonuses for anyone who preorders one or more copies (a video series, access to a monthly live AMA/office hours, and a virtual book club appearance). Drop your order number in the portal on the website to access those bonuses.
I used to make fun of my Dad for buying People Magazine at Hudson News to read on planes.
