I’m a business owner. I’ve been helping other business owners for 11 years and I’ll tell you in 2 minutes:

Here are 18 BRUTAL TRUTHS about building a business—most people won’t tell you: 1. Building a business isn't easier than working a 9-5 job. Ignore the laptop lifestyle p0rn. It's 10x more fulfilling though & will eventually make you wealthier.

I'm 38.

It only took 10 years in banking, a layoff, mental illness, & being an alcoholic... to sort my sh*t out – and not give a f*ck what anybody thinks.

If you want to transform your life in your 30s & 40s, read this: 1. Make having a job short term. Climbing the corporate ladder is full of broken dreams. Start a digital business instead & become an owner.

Today is my 39th birthday.

This year I've had some powerful breakthroughs that changed the trajectory of my life forever.

Here are all the things that I know at 39 which I wish I knew at 20. 𝟭. 𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀

Most people head toward a goal in a lukewarm way.

They’re interested, mildly passionate, or even curious, but their level of intensity is off. So no one pays much attention to what they’re doing.

The work they do is mostly ignored. Their results stay at zero or close to. Their motivation goes wildly up and down like the Bitcoin price.

When you take an extreme approach to a goal there’s little competition. You instantly stand out and people think you’re smarter.

An extreme approach means you don’t have to ask for permission because successful people are attracted to you.

Be extreme or don’t do it all.

If I had to begin from $0 and make $6M online again at 38, here’s what I’d do: I'd build a business with real customers, not some fake passive income machine.

Here are 29 uncomfortable truths I wish I knew earlier: 1. Job security is the greatest lie of the 21st century. You can be laid off in the next 5 minutes.

If you want to be successful but are lazy, please read this: Here's the brutal truth:

Years of your life are wasting away.

You might think you'll be successful one day but if you don't take action today nothing will happen.

Success is based on the habits you do today. Here's how to rethink progress:

I’m an entrepreneur, and I keep hearing the same complaint:

"I'm making money but I'm working long hours."

If you're always busy, your business isn't making you wealthy. It's making you poor.

Here’s what’s really going on (and how to fix it): 1. Trading time for money

This is where we all start. But if you continue this approach long term you'll have no time.

You must first be aware of the problem & acknowledge it.

Nothing changes until you do.

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.

Most people are obsessed with the American Dream.

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 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: 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.
