But what you don't realize is I've sacrificed everything for it.
โข I don't go to the San Gennaro festival.
โข I don't sleep enough.
โข My family is a glorified crew.
โข โPulpโ isnโt my thing.
โข My income is illegitimate.
โข I quit seeing that Russian & betting on sports.
โข I'm in a pork store 12 hours a day.

And I chose this for the short-term in order to build out my long-term dream of being the boss of North Jersey.
Are you truly ready to do what's required?
Or do you just think you are?
Makes me so happy that I left teaching. Embarrassing victim mindset, canโt stand it.
Iโm trying to become a centimillionaire before I die, not bitch about pencils
As much as we all want to RETVRN! we arenโt going back to the past.
Weโre not going back to the Hellenistic Age or The Gilded Age.

Greco Deco is the first hint at maybe possibly breaking through this phase of stuck culture we seem to find ourselves in.
Perhaps a combination of two old things can create something new, fresh, and exciting.
It could be the aesthetic of the new era about to begin.
I am 52 years old. I have been working since I was 15 years old. I have no savings, no retirement, and will never own a home before I die.
And there is now a trillionaire.
@4HLsartorialist Like yeah, life is hard. You might got dealt a shitty hand. What are you gonna do about it, complain about Elon?
Figure out the price of success and then pay it
These people are unreal, cannot believe they have the same right to vote as me. I hate democracy
One email a day isn't a tactic.
It's a business model.
You get into a rhythm with emailing and all of a sudden, revenue starts to appear.
Frequency creates flow. Flow creates freedom.
At first, you're uncomfortable. You're trying to find your voice. Trying not to sound cringe. Trying not to piss off your list. Trying not to scare people away.
But you settle in.
You keep emailing.
Your writing starts to (finally) sound and feel like you.
The first rule of compounding is to never interrupt it. Every email you send gets you closer to the "hockey stick" growth trajectory you're after.
At a certain point, writing becomes so natural, the words just flow. You don't even think about It anymore.
There once a buckshot who slaughtered all the quail on his farm one day. He was the greatest shot anyone ever saw. When asked whether he shot with one eye closed or both eyes opened, he responded... "I never thought about that."
When you overthink the mechanics of what you're trying to do with email writing, you freeze up.
Sure, frameworks are great. Theory is great. The "science" behind persuasive writing is great.
But at the end of the day, your best writing is going to come when you let go of the mechanics and just write what's in your heart.
You don't have to stress yourself out over the process.
You just do it.
Daily email.
It's the littlest hinge that swings the biggest door.
Even if the walls fall down, as long as you're emailing your list, you're going to be OK.
Start writing.
Never stop.
You have no idea how powerful your emails can be.
You have to out-earn what you see around you.
Rent/housing, groceries, healthcare, etc.
If you're just getting started...stop complaining that things are hard, and start finding paths forward.
Yes they are hard, and they will always be hard.
What are you going to do...give up?
You do not yet know, how hard poverty will be...and that it will touch everything in your life & your family's life.
Be bitter if you want, that's fine. Carry anger and direct that energy to finding a way forward and being resolute about it.
Never give up. Keep pushing.
Life is not easy for many people, and coming from 0 is hard stuff. But if you need a wake up call, let this be yours...
Start today, and do *something*
Do not give in, and do not give up.
Not everyone needs a Ferrari, but you should have security and no one will give that to you, but you.
You may have health issues, a terrible job, barely making ends meet, or waiting for luck...but there is rarely luck you do not create.
You are on your own.
Time to make a strategy, and act now.
Nine years ago I was a public school special education teacher
Today, I acquired a $2 trillion company that sends rockets into space
You have no idea what you can accomplish in a decade
Love all these people mad at Elon for making all this money. You know you can own his companies, right? Most brokerage accounts cost nothing to open. Can literally become the guys business partner while he does all the work.
