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.

The 24 microhabits of people who are actually obsessed (that will change your life):

1. Take the default amount of effort required in any field and 10X it. 2. When everyone else is working 8 hours a day doing something they hate, you work 12 hours a day doing something you love.

3. Just wake up and start working on your obsession. No morning routine.

Everyone talks about famous writers like:

J.K. Rowling, Stephen King, or Hemingway.

But there is a U.S. author who redefined the game forever.

Here are the secret techniques Mark Manson used to write one of the best-selling books of all time: In his 20s, Mark Mason was a pickup artist and gave blogging advice.

People called him a sleazeball.

One day, while pissed off at his family, he wrote a satirical piece about not giving a f*ck.

He nearly didn't publish it.

I wish someone told me this at 18...

1. If you don't obsess over one thing, you'll never be successful.

2. The happiest people have lots of free time, not luxury bullsh*t. 3. Use a 9-5 job to earn. Then as quickly as possible build something online to earn.

4. Your mindset determines your net worth. How you think is everything. Program your mind.

If I had 12 months & wanted to make $1M online at 35 years old, I'd copy this unknown entrepreneur: @OneJKMolina makes $100K a month in profit.

He does it with only 100 clients. And he grew up broke in a 3rd world country.

I've watched him closely for 5 years.

Here's exactly how he did it (and you can too):

Nassim Taleb once said:

“The three most harmful addictions are heroin, carbohydrates & a monthly salary.”

Here are 11 things I learned from him: Nassim started life as a Wall Street derivatives trader.

He eventually quit & became a hedge fund manager while writing these best-selling books:

• Antifragile
• The Black Swan
• Fooled by Randomness

Now he's also a university professor.

This is Jocko Willink.

He teaches people to stop being little b*tches.

He was a Navy Seal, then sold 500,000+ copies of his book "Extreme Ownership."

Here are 11 of his insights that rewired my brain to do hard things (and will do the same for you): “Discipline equals freedom.”

• Craving the easy life is how you get a hard life

• Discipline leads to hard mode

• Hard mode leads to consistency

• Consistency leads to results

• Results lead to wisdom

Wisdom = Freedom

If I had 12 months and wanted to quit my 9-5 job and make $1M online in my 30s, I'd do this: I built a $1M+ a year business but it took a while. If I was doing it again, I'd do what @FitFounder did.

He turned his low-paying personal training job into a 7-figure business in a year.

Here's exactly how he did it (and you can too):

If I had 12 months & wanted to make $100,000 online at 35 years old, I'd copy this unknown solopreneur: @heyizmadz turned 5000 X followers into 6 figures.

She only needed 55 clients to do it.

I interviewed her for my private mastermind.

Here's exactly how she did it (and you can too):

Cheat codes for life I know at 38 that I wish I knew at 28: 1. When you get lots of rejections you stop fearing it. This makes you unstoppable.

2. Busyness is a sign of poverty that will eventually lead to personal bankruptcy.

3. The world wants you to be normal. F*ck being normal. That's when being extraordinary becomes impossible.

My #1 regret in life:

I wish I didn't waste my 20s slaving away at my 9-5 banking job.

10 pieces of brutally honest career advice that I’d give to my younger self (so you can avoid my failures): 𝟭. 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗯*𝘁𝗰𝗵

I didn't quit my boring career until 34. I spent 4 extra years ma$turbating over the decision.

When you go all in on a business you own, it forces you to make it work.

I thought I was crazy until I found Charlie Munger.

Munger was not only among the most gifted minds on earth, but he embodied something I've never seen in others.

Thread with some lessons from his bizarre way of being: "Smart men go broke three ways - liquor, ladies and leverage."

• Alcohol ruins your mind

• Thinking about s*x too much screws up your impulses

• Taking on debt to invest increases losses if the investment goes down too much. Less debt equals less stress.

Dan Koe's work will change your life forever.

His writing takes 100s of hours to read. I've gone through it so you don't have to.

12 ideas. 12 opportunities to upgrade your mind. Many people dismissed Dan Koe as a fitness bro.

They're f*cking morons.

Dan's unique because he found a way to fuse philosophy, spirituality, and business together in a new way.

I asked 134,000 people what the best book was that they read in 2024.

These 12 showed up the most (so they'll be great reading to start 2025): 🧵 1. The Comfort Crisis by Michael Easter

I'm 38. If you're In your 20's or 30's, read this:

1. When you turn 35 you'll see the difference between those who took risks and those who didn't.

2. Having kids isn't the end of freedom, it's the beginning. It'll give you meaning that'll fuel your greatness. 3. Chasing obsession is the fastest way to become a high performer.

4. Raise your standards so high people think you're a psychopath. Screw being average.

I'm 38.

When I was 28 I obsessed over politics, went woke (then broke in 2011) & worshipped DEI propaganda.

Then I discovered Ronald Reagan, and he changed my life forever.

13 lessons from the world's most controversial & outspoken US president: Ronald Reagan was a different type of president

• He started out as a Hollywood actor
• He used jelly beans to help him stop smoking
• Someone tried to assassinate him in 1981
• Failed to become president in 1976 - won in 1980

Before you read this, remember: nobody gives a f*ck what political party you vote for.

If I had to start from $0 and make $1M online again at 38, here’s what I’d do: I'd stop trying to be Elon Musk and just build a small business making $1M-$2M a year.

You want freedom, not fame.

This man destroyed wokeism:

Morgan Freeman.

He's a Hollywood actor, became a pilot at 70, and got his first acting role at age 52.

He's loves to rip into mainstream media

Here is Morgan's updated philosophy: 1. “I don’t want a Black History Month. Black history is American history.

How are we going to get rid of racism? Stop talking about it!”

Racism is made worse because of wokeism, not better. Pretending to care & virtue signaling fools f*cking no one.

I'm 38.

When I was 28 I believed in social security, UBI, socialist ideas, minimum wage & heavily taxing the rich

Then I discovered Walter E. Williams, and he changed my life forever.

16 lessons from the world's most controversial & outspoken economist: Walter E. Williams pissed off a lot of people.

He famously inspired Thomas Sowell's ideas.

Walter challenged:

• The need for minimum wage
• Too much focus on race
• The existence of government

“I probably became a libertarian through exposure to tough-minded professors who encouraged me to think with my brain instead of my heart.” – Walter

This is how you get your sh*t together and become unstoppable in 2025:

1. Stop thinking obesity is normal, and lose weight if you need to. 2. Quit your boring 9-5 job and do work that doesn't feel like work.

3. Go to a dark place. Feel like a loser. Break up with them. Get a divorce. File for bankruptcy. Then make a comeback no one expects.
