I became a millionaire at age 34.
I could have become a millionaire by age 24 if I had started these 9 habits earlier: 1. Don’t work a cubicle job forever
Level 1 = Job
Level 2 = freelancing, consulting, or one-person business
Level 3 = starting a business
Level 4 = running a business with lots of employees
Staying at level 1 is living your whole life in daycare.
Action: build an online business.

"People are strange: they are constantly angered by trivial things,
But on a major matter like totally wasting their lives, they hardly seem to notice.”
Politics is the most trivial of all. It solves nothing for the average person.
But they pray it will like the president is Jesus.
Mind your own business & tell politicians to f*ck off

I used to be depressed, broke, and work in a call center.
Now I work a relaxed work day in a flow state, chase my obsession, write online and make $1M+ a year.
12 habits that transformed my life:
Flow states
9-5 work is boring. It lacks creativity so it feels like work.
When you choose work that feels effortless & escape the hell of the corporate world, you look forward to work.
Deep work done in a flow state makes 8 hours of work feel like 1.
If you can't get in flow, quit your current work.

Sitting around with no goals or something to work on will age and kill you faster than cancer." – Alex Becker

5 years ago I quit:
• TV
• News
• Politics
• Facebook
• My corporate 9-5 job
I did the opposite of what society told me to do & focused on more important things:
• Gym
• Family
• Writing
• Freedom
• Free time
• Obsession
• Wealth generation
• Starting an online business
Here are the results:
1. Stopped getting programmed by mainstream media
The traditional media wants to dived us to become relevant again.
But all their misinformation has meant their trust is at an all-time low.
They hate social media apps like X because it's replaced them. I used X to build a movement.
