I agree with this 100%! Looking back, success is more about what you have learned and who you know. It is not correlated with effort.
Many are looking for opportunities to just work and make some money, but very few are looking for wealth opportunities. Very few see them.
nobody wants to hear this, but the reality is that you should extend your timelines to years. it will take most people years to achieve anything hard even if you are consistent daily
@jayhemz This weekend & beyond, doors are opening before me.
My path is being made straight, struggles are being removed, and I’m enjoying divine protection wherever I go. I will return with a testimony. IJN. Amen.
Once you’ve successfully made money through a repeatable, non-random process, making money again often becomes easier because now you have both capital and a mental model for how money is made. It’s actually a game
There is a Japanese practice of owning one very good version of something rather than several adequate ones.
One knife, kept sharp. One pen that writes exactly as you want. One bag chosen carefully and used for years.
This is not minimalism as aesthetic. This is minimalism as relationship.
You learn the object. You know its weight. You know how it responds to your hand.
The object becomes, over time, an extension of you.
That cannot happen with things you do not stay with long enough to know.
Easiest way to stay employed in this country is to leave these popular industries and find an industry with boomers . Two interview stages and you get the job .
which is why I urge you desperately to not submit yourself to the uselessness this country conjures in its people.
it’s harder work and you may burn out.
but it is important that you don’t lose your optimism. your joy is under attack and nobody but you is coming to save you (and maybe a few good friends and family members if you are lucky).
we place so much value on physical things that get stolen. but the things that are unseen tend to be far more valuable that objects that can be touched.
Once you begin to earn a little more, it’s important to optimise your life for ease and rest.
For me, boredom might mean playing on my PS5 downstairs or taking my handheld Xbox upstairs. When I need some air, I take any of the cars for a long drive. When I need a complete change of scenery, I pack a bag and visit a new country.
The specifics will differ for everyone, and they don’t have to be expensive. The point is to build small outlets into your life that help you slow down, reset and enjoy the rewards of your hard work.
Look, I beg you. Become really good at something. Like wickedly good. Then let as many people as possible know you’re really good at that thing. The consequences will change your life.
I did an experiment on August 1st to see how long it would take me to land a job.
128 custom applications, 12 company outreaches , 5 final interviews, & 3 job offers as of today.
Literally none from Linked1n, Ind33d, or referral smh
