I studied Finance and I hate to break it to you but:

The less you focus on money the more money you make.

Here's how: When money is a problem you think about it 24/7

This creates a scarcity mindset. You start to think everyone is trying to take from you.

So instead of investing in yourself you do the opposite.

Then you get trapped in your head & don't make progress with your money problem.

I’m Aussie.

Most people are obsessed with the American Dream.

But having an American business partner shattered my western mindset.

14 U.S. oddities I still can’t wrap my head around: Image 1. The U.S. is filthy rich

And full of opportunities. If you can't be successful in America you probably can't do it anywhere.

- Entrepreneurs are leaving places like the UK
- But America has a thriving startup scene

If where you live sucks, move.

I left corporate at 34.

Here are 34 controversial truths about Millennial workers that'll piss you off:

1. We're not passionate about a job– we just pretend to be until we can get the f*ck out of there 2. We don't believe in climbing the corporate ladder. Get a degree, work 40 years, retire, die. This doesn't motivate us (or anyone else).

3. Our #1 dream is to be a creator with a Youtube channel. This has replaced the corporate dream forever.

I'm 38.

It only took 10 years in banking, 2 layoffs, 3 breakups, a baby at 36 & mental illness...

To find myself – and how little f*cks I have left

If you want to reinvent your life in your 30s or 40s, read this: 1. Stop being full of B.S. excuses

“I’m busy”
“I can’t make money on the internet”
“I have imposter syndrome
“I’m an introvert”
“I’m waiting for the right time”
“I’ll start one day”
“I’ve postponed it to 2026”

If you say any of these lines you’re a loser.

The good news is you can become a winner again by doing the opposite.

F*ck off with the labels.
F*ck off with excuses.

I’m 38.

After 10 years in corporate, I learned the hard way.

Here are 16 career lessons I wish I knew in my 20s.

(If you're working a 9-5 job, don't make the same mistakes I did.) 1. No boss will ever give a f*ck about you

But if you help them get what they want, you will get an unfair advantage.

Choose a leader instead of a company logo

Bonus: choose a leader who also loves entrepreneurship & has hopes of building a business

These leaders are built different.

Here's Naval Ravikant's 12-step protocol to become wealthy & free: 🧵 Image Making money isn't taught in school.

I’m 38.

I used to think being productive was #1, doing 10,000 hours led to greatness & success was about working hard.

Then I discovered the book "Flow", and it changed my life forever.

6 lessons from the most controversial productively book that will change how you see the world:Image The misunderstood concept of flow

The author of "Flow" Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi says flow is when you’re “involved in an activity where nothing else seems to matter.”

Many non-flow experts have even tried to understand it because it explains human evolution.

For an activity to crossover and become a flow state, it has to be challenging.

In this process of overcoming challenges, Mihaly says, we live the most enjoyable times of our lives.

I became a millionaire at 34.

If I had understood & implemented these 17 concepts,

I could have done it 10 years sooner... 👇 1. Build distribution, then build whatever the f*ck you want

Without attention you're forced to ask for permission. Or buy ads.

Build an email list, then use it to build whatever you want.

Example: Dan Koe

Built an email list, then used it to build a note-taking app. Genius.

The man who can predict the future:

Peter Diamandis.

He's been friends with Elon Musk for 20+ years & owns a $600M venture capital fund invested in exponential technologies

10 lessons from the greatest tech investor of our lifetime: Image 1. "The most successful people are first-principle thinkers."

Assumptions are a b*tch. Yet most people get led down a dark alley and hurt because of them.

A first-principle thinker breaks problems down to their essence in a simplistic way.

From there, it's easier to build a solution.

Assumptions lie to us.

Master sales and you can print money at will.

Sadly, most people don't know how to sell or where to start.

Tony Robbins is a master at sales and has a net worth of $600M because of it.

Here are 10 sales techniques I learned from him (that made me a millionaire): Image "People don't buy products, they buy feelings."

They buy states.
They buy identities.

Sales is a game of psychology. If you understand how humans think you can sell anything.

Sales is persuasion, not manipulation.

I took Naval Ravikant’s tweet thread "How to Get Rich (without getting lucky)" & made $1.55M with it.

Here’s how: On May 31st 2018, Naval Ravikant blew up the internet.

He posted a tweet thread that people still can’t get over 5 years later. It’s a tweet thread I re-read weekly.

If you haven’t read it then I insist you do.

After I read this tweet thread at age 32, I implemented the principles in my life.

I estimate they’ve made me approximately $1.55M since doing so.

Use these principles to do the same.

I’m a 38 year old dad & entrepreneur, studied finance for 8 years & worked 10+ years in major banks.

I hate to break this to you: Most people were never taught how money works.

The system wasn’t built for us. But that doesn’t mean we can’t win.

Here are 10 no-BS money rules everyone needs to know. 1. If your money isn't growing, it's dying.

That's what inflation and currency devaluation do. They're a hidden tax.

And they screw with your investment gains.

You say "my house increased in value by 7%."

But the real growth is much lower because you're measuring gains in a manipulated currency.
