abuse your unfair advantage everywhere

everyone has it

> if you live in your mom's basement w no responsibilities, work 12 hr days
> if your know a guy who knows a guy, call that guy
> if your parents paid for ur college, invest your time in up-skilling urself

you were not raised to be a bum

life isnt an even playing field

all the "winners" are not playing fair

to catch up you have to identify your unfair advantage

and abuse it

In my teens and 20's I would spend way too much time playing Starcraft and Civilization. Harvesting resources, building things, and expanding was super addictive to my brain - to an almost unhealthy degree.

Later I realized that entrepreneurship and business is the ultimate game. It scratches the same itch for me (resources, building, expanding), but you're actually contributing to humanity at the end of the day, which can be much more fulfilling.

Business is also much more positive sum than video games. In Starcraft, the other player has to lose for you to win. In business, there is competition, but in a growing market there can be multiple winners. And gains compound long term (it's a infinite game) instead of starting over each time.

Now days I prefer to watch pros play video games to unwind, instead of playing video games myself. But a quick game can still be fun here and there to unwind. By contrast, the game of business is played over many decades.

repeated self talk rewires the brain and strengthens specific neural pathways. saying words out loud has ~10x more power than internal thought and negative speech is 40-70x more impactful than positive ones.

just talk with yourself bro.

Not having extreme urgency is the most common way to waste decades of your life.

A pattern I've noticed in stuck people:

They're always busy. They never stop moving. They have 47 tabs open and a notebook-sized to-do list. But if you ask them what they accomplished this week that actually matters, their mind goes blank.

Busyness isn't a badge of honor.

lock in, bud.

[vittorio @IterIntellectus]

"you can just do things" is literally true and very easy

the problem is that most people waste their lives talking about the things they'd like to do instead of just doing them
