If you're a young hustler and you just started making your first real money don't buy that car yet.
Too many people blow all their money on some stupid cars, watches, or paying ridiculous amount of money each month for a penthouse they DON'T need...
Just to get some validation from strangers on the internet
And as a result they don't have time & mental energy to grow their business because they're busy trying to keep up with their lifestyle.
Stack some BTC first and have the peace of mind that even if everything disappeared tomorrow you're okay & you can rebuild it because you have next 12 months of expenses inside of a crypto wallet
You cannot build an exceptional business while living an ordinary life.
You don’t have work-life balance during building phases.
You won’t have a normal social life.
No one cares about your complaints from 80-hour weeks.
99.9% of people will think you're unreasonable.
And that's exactly what it takes.
Not for everyone, but the reason my business grew is because I made "stupid" decisions that forced me to make it work. I moved into a place 2x what I could afford so I had to make more. I got rid of everything and moved to a new state for the same reason. I've become very good at creating tactical stress: not destroying my life, but putting myself in a do or die situation knowing that there is some way to come out the other side.
29. "Don’t recreate the wheel" is the best advice no one takes.
30. Working smarter, not harder, is a beautiful lie. You will not know how to work smart until you've worked very hard for an irrationally long time.
First, you succeed "luckily," because you have nothing to lose and don't take yourself seriously, as it should be.
Then, you start feeling the weight of other people's expectations, tense up a bit, and struggle to get the wanted results despite working hard.
Finally, you grow the mental strength necessary to handle that pressure, you learn how to relax, you learn how to stay detached from the outcome, you learn how to enjoy the process that leads to the outcome, and you succeed again, and again, and again, not luckily anymore.
It's the same journey for everyone. Don't waste your potential, work on more ambitious goals, and you will look back one day and understand that the journey itself was the reward. Your anger, envy, and frustration will be gone, replaced by peace of mind, confidence, and the satisfaction that you had a great ride.
With Trump back in office, we should finally see a full, unobstructed inquiry into what caused the biggest event of our lifetimes (and which likely cost Trump the 2020 elections).
It's time to lift the veil on the #OriginofCovid.
A full reckoning is long overdue.
