I USED TO THINK RICH PEOPLE WERE JUST LUCKY.
Then I started watching how they spent their Sundays.
"Your Sunday evening tells me everything about who you will be financially in five years," my mentor said.
Here are 10 Sunday habits of people who are quietly building wealth:
If you choose a working woman, you have to accept that she can't handle the house full-time.
If you choose a housewife who can take care of you and manage the home completely, you need to accept that she doesn't make money.
If you choose a submissive woman, you must accept that she depends on you.
If you choose to be with a brave woman, you must accept that she is tough and has thoughts of her own.
If you choose a beautiful woman, you have to accept that she has expenses too.
If you choose to be with a great woman, you must accept that she is tough and firm.
No woman is perfect. A woman has her own good thing that defines who she is and makes her unique.
I’m retarded, but I win at life by just being insanely lucky. I increase my luck surface area by just doing random shit constantly. You need to be random maxxing. You need to be doing robotics, then public speaking, then crypto, then agriculture, never let them know your next move.
The devil can’t hit a moving target.
Luxuries that are hidden in plain sight:
1. Walking without pain
2. Healthy eyesight
3. No addiction
4. Reliable car
5. Roof over your head
6. Having your mom and dad alive
7. Ability to say "I love you" to your kids
As a man, your 30s are your real prime.
Young guys look at you like the blueprint. Older men finally take you seriously.
The hottest young women suddenly treat you like you’re rare gold.
Do not lock yourself down in your 20s out of fear, loneliness, or family pressure.
Use your 20s to build hard:
-Money.
-Body.
-Social skills.
-Purpose.
-High standards.
Then in your 30s you choose from a position of power, not desperation.
Do not settle early.
Upgrade yourself first.
Man to Man:
▪︎ Wake up early whether you like it or not. Sleep is a luxury you earn.
▪︎ Cut porn. It's frying your discipline and making you soft.
▪︎ Lift heavy weights 4 to 6 days a week. Track numbers. If they're not going up, you're lying.
▪︎ Eat boring food. Same meals. Protein first. Pleasure later.
▪︎ Stop explaining yourself. Explanations are for people above you.
▪︎ Learn one high-income skill and go all in. No backup plans. Backups make cowards.
▪︎ Kill useless friendships. If they don't push money, discipline or growth, they're dead weight.
▪︎ Get comfortable being alone. Loneliness is training, not a problem.
▪︎ Read contracts, finance, power, psychology. Fiction won't save you.
▪︎ Build an emergency fund. No one rescues grown men.
▪︎ Stop chasing women. Build a life that attracts them accidentally.
▪︎ Control your temper. Emotional men get manipulated.
▪︎ Dress clean and simple. No logos. No noise. Let silence flex.
▪︎ Learn to say no without guilt.
▪︎ Track your time like money. Wasted hours are stolen years.
▪︎ Fix your posture. Weak body language bleeds into weak decisions.
▪︎ Quit alcohol if you can't control it. If it controls you, it owns you.
▪︎ Learn how to fight or learn how to run fast. Ideally both.
▪︎ Pay your debts aggressively. Owing money kills respect.
▪︎ Keep your mouth shut about plans. Execute first.
▪︎ Accept that no one cares about your struggles. Act accordingly.
▪︎ Build something that pays you while you sleep. If not, you're replaceable.
▪︎ Call your parents. One day you won't be able to.
▪︎ Stop waiting for motivation. Operate on schedule.
▪︎ Become physically dangerous but mentally calm.
▪︎ Respect yourself so hard the world has no choice but to adjust.
That's it. No inspiration. Just work.
Normalize this by age 25
1. Talk slow
2. Be clear
3. Never mumble
4. Don't interrupt
5. Listen twice more than you talk

i have no desire to be rich so i can buy a rolex or a lamborghini.
i want to be rich so i can control my time and go to the gym at 3pm on a monday.
sit at a cafe and relax for an hour on a rainy afternoon.
so i can cook meals at home with fresh ingredients.
spend on my family and friends without worrying about a budget.
that's my idea of a rich life, not the fake consumerist idea shoved down my throat.

Is it your life's goal to speculate in markets successfully and as your full time job?
If so, read this:
Part 1
I did it. It's really really hard but it can be done. It's not for everyone, but some are chosen. I feel really lucky that I was one.
By my research (extensive BTW) only 1 or 2 out of a hundred that try actually make it. Are you one of them? Maybe. But it is a journey like you will someday look back upon and realize that few things in life drive a person deeper into his/her soul than overcoming self to succeed at trading.
Trading is not about what you know. Just about anybody can learn about the markets and how they work. That is a no brainer. Trading a sim prop account? This adds nothing to ultimate success.
Learning to chart? Nope -- not where it's at. Indicators? Nope. Following an online or YouTube guru? That's the way to lose all of your money.
Reading books? Watching videos? Joining groups? Nope. Nope. Nope.
I've supported my family and built my wealth as a futures market speculator. I've done it for 50 years now. I love the markets. They get me up in the morning. They force me to think and solve problems.
Of course successful trading is about knowledge -- knowledge about a bunch of things. If you pursue trading it will take you three years or so to learn enough to be successful.
If you play the game of simulated trading you will likely never make it.
But if you put your own money on the line you will not gain traction in developing your skills for that three-plus year period. So you better first learn how to be a good loser before you become a steady winner. The first comes before the second.
There are certain questions you will need to answer during the first three or so years of your journey learning to trade. They are the same questions for every trader who actually ends up making it. But everyone's answers are different.
Anyway, that is enough for this message.
sat next to a 20 year old guy on a plane who casually mentioned he made $4.5 million last year
didn't look rich
t-shirt
jeans
beat up backpack
i asked what he did
"i trade futures"
"full time?"
"yeah, about 3 hours a day"
"$4.5 million in 3 hours a day?"
"well, it's not really about hours, it's about decisions. i probably make 10-15 decisions per month that matter. the rest is just waiting"
"what do you mean?"
"most people think trading is constant action. it's not. it's 99% waiting for your setup, 1% executing. that's why most people fail. they can't handle doing nothing"
he pulled out his laptop
showed me his calendar
90% of trading days marked: "NO TRADE"
"this is march, see? 31 days. i traded 7 times. made $380k that month"
"7 trades made $380k?"
"yeah, because they were the RIGHT 7 trades. everyone else took 200 trades that month and lost money because they were WRONG trades. quality over quantity"
"how do you know which 7 to take?"
"i don't trade unless i'd bet my house on it"
"what?"
"every trade, i ask myself: would i bet my house on this setup? if the answer is no, i don't trade. most setups? the answer is no. but 7 times this month, the answer was YES"
he kept talking:
"the biggest mistake retail traders make is thinking they need to trade every day. you don't. you need to trade WHEN YOUR SETUP APPEARS. some months that's 15 times. some months that's 3 times"
"what about consistency?"
"consistency isn't daily trading. consistency is ONLY taking your setup. if your setup appears once a week, you trade once a week. if it appears 5 times in a day, you trade 5 times that day. the market doesn't care about your need for action"
"but i feel like i'm wasting time if i'm not trading"
"that's employee mindset. you think time = money. it doesn't. correct decisions = money. i make more doing nothing 24 days a month than you make forcing trades every single day"
he was right
i was trading out of BOREDOM
not opportunity
i tested this for 90 days:
BEFORE "house bet" filter:
- 156 trades
- 41% win rate
- -$3,800
AFTER "house bet" filter:
- 11 trades
- 73% win rate
- +$14,200
11 trades in 90 days
because i stopped trading
and started WAITING
the plane guy was right:
"most traders are addicted to action. they need to DO something. that's why they lose. the real money is in doing NOTHING until the perfect setup appears. but doing nothing feels like you're not working, so people force trades"
"how do you handle the boredom?"
"i have a life outside trading. i go to the gym. i read. i travel. trading is 3 hours a day MAX. the other 21 hours i'm living. you guys are staring at charts 12 hours a day hoping something happens. that's not trading. that's gambling addiction"
he closed his laptop
"here's the secret: the less you trade, the more you make. i know guys trading 500 times a month making $0. i trade 15 times a month making $400k. the difference? i'm SELECTIVE. they're ACTIVE. market rewards selectivity, punishes activity"
flight landed
he gave me his card
"if you want to make real money trading, stop trying to trade every day. start waiting for YOUR setup only. 90% of trading is waiting. 10% is executing. master the waiting and you'll make more money doing nothing than everyone else makes doing everything"
i never saw him again
but i think about that conversation every single day
the math is simple:
you're not paid by the trade
you're paid by the CORRECT trade
taking 200 trades with 40% accuracy = -$5k
taking 20 trades with 70% accuracy = +$50k
same account
different approach
completely different outcome
most of you are over-trading
thinking activity = profit
it doesn't
selectivity = profit
the traders making $500k+/year
they trade LESS than you
not more
they're better at WAITING
not better at TRADING
master the wait
make the money
There are no rules
There are successful people that do drugs
Successful people that are fat
Successful people that stroke it to p0rn
And likewise there are LOSERS who do cold showers and journal and meditate
Everyone is trying to make you think there’s a way or a path
There isn’t
You have to carve your own.
10 hard truths about getting rich trading:
1. It takes 3-5 years to replace your income (not 3 months)
2. You'll lose money for 1-2 years learning (tuition)
3. 5% monthly beats 500% lottery tickets
4. Boring traders get rich, exciting traders stay broke
5. You need $100K to replace a $60K salary safely
6. Most "gurus" are broke (trust your math, not their screenshots)
7. Screen addiction destroys returns
8. One strategy for 5 years > five strategies for 1 year
9. Pulling profits kills compounding (reinvest first 3 years)
10. Your ego will cost you more than bad trades
Accept these or stay delusional.
Truth doesn't care about your timeline.
met an ex-institutional trader when I was in Switzerland, clearing $300K/month trading his own capital
made me feel broke af
he was legit emotionless
zero reaction to anything
showed me his accounts mid-drawdown like he was checking the weather
takes his trades like a fucking machine
he taught me something that changed everything about how I trade:
we were looking at the charts and I told him I blew a $50K prop account on a strategy that stopped working. I was analyzing what went wrong with the system
he fucking laughed at me and said:
"You're confused why your strategy failed?
The strategy is irrelevant. But understanding what the MARKET conditions are....You think banks have 1 strategy they run all year long?"
then he entered a trade without even looking stressed
that hit me different
you mfs are too attached to strategies.
you're "backtesting" systems.
you're "optimizing" indicators.
you're "tweaking" entry rules.
complaining about how the market is bad.
not realizing markets always move the same.
in cycles.
meanwhile killers just read what the market is actually doing. how it behaves. they know how to READ the market.
then build whatever strategy fits that.
they aren't worried about a "strategy" because they have multiple.
old me would've been questioning my entire approach.
analyzing the strategy for weeks.
probably would've switched to something completely different
new me looked at what the MARKET was doing during those losses.
saw volume wasn't there.
my strategy needs volume.
market changed. I adapted.
your attachment to one strategy is making you easy to liquidate
learn to read the market or stay broke
Here's what that mf taught me:
strategies are just tools
market movement is the truth
If you can read what the market is ACTUALLY doing:
trending
ranging
high volatility
low volatility
seek and destroy
directional
then you can build ANY strategy around it
most mfs do it backwards:
they find a strategy (ICT, SMC, whatever)
then try to force it on every market condition
then blow up when the market changes
you think institutions have one strategy?
killers do it different
they read the market FIRST
see it's ranging? build a range strategy
see it's trending? build a trend strategy
see it's choppy? don't fucking trade
the strategy adapts to the market
not the other way around
you should run multiple completely different strategies
depending on what the market is doing
same trader
different strategies
all based on reading market STATE first
meanwhile you're trying to make ONE strategy work in ALL conditions
that's why you're broke
I watched him switch strategies mid-week
Monday-Tuesday: market trending, he's trading breakouts
Wednesday: volatility dies, he completely stops
Thursday-Friday: range forms, he's fading extremes
zero attachment to any method
pure adaptation to market movement
meanwhile you're still trying to make your "strategy" work
your problem isn't your strategy
It's that you can't read what the market is doing
learn to ADAPT to the market first
build strategies second
or keep doing it backwards and stay broke

Met a guy in Latvia who clears $10M/yr
Made me look poor bc we met in his restaurant
Legit psychopath. No emotion on his face ever. Drives a matte black Maybach. Makes decisions like a fucking robot
He taught me something that changed everything about how I operate
We were having coffee and I told him I lost $30k on a failed launch. I was pissed about it
He looked at me dead in the eyes and said:
"You're angry you lost $10k? You're a goon. The $10k is gone. The money is dead. But the data from the loss? That's the asset. Stop crying. Calculate the data"
(translated, mf speaks russian)
Then he went back to his espresso like nothing happened
That hit me different
You mfs are too emotional. You're "sad" about a failed launch. You're "anxious" about a sales call. You're "stressed" about the algorithm
Meanwhile killers feel nothing. They just execute. They calculate. They move
Lost another $15k on a campaign 2 weeks ago
Old me would've been depressed for weeks. Questioning everything. Probably would've given up
New me analyzed the data in 4 hours. Found the 3 variables that killed it. Fixed them.
Your emotions are making you easy to kill in business
Become a psychopath or stay broke
study the yegor method

Grind seasons aren’t supposed to be flashy. They’re filled with stressful late nights, and a lot of uncomfortable growth. No crazy cars to film, no crazy vacations and beaches. Just hundreds of hours locked in a room with 1 goal.
Nobody sees this side of the story. All they see is the success when you reach it.
Embrace these seasons and don’t get distracted. If you REALLY want to see a change in your life, this is what it takes.
If you haven’t made any money this cycle
And are frustrated
And you are just waiting for alt season
Let me tell you something
I lost £20,000 in my first ever bull run.
I had to start back from £0.
But as soon as I learned this key secret,
it changed everything.
It’s absolutely simple.
The main aspect you need to understand is that:
#Crypto is all about Risk to Reward.
What do I mean about this?
You should only invest in coins where the risk is limited
While the reward is unlimited.
These are called “Asymmetric bets”.
Which means potential gains significantly outweigh the potential losses.
For example:
You will risk 10/20% while the market can go up 100%+
So you want to take a lot of these trades.
This is when the market is in your favor.
In other words, the market is in easy mode and you should take risks.
Now let me tell you where most of you fuck up.
You pick coins that have high risk,
- Already had its parabolic run
- Already had influencers shill it
- Already had its attention
Now there are just bag holders waiting to dump on you
Or You don’t know when to stop taking risks.
You think that the market will remain like this forever.
You start making money with these “asymmetrical trades” and keep looking for more.
That’s how you give all your profits back to the market.
You do not adjust to the market.
You are taking far more risk for a smaller upside.
Doesn’t make any sense.
You are taking “negative asymmetry” trades.
This is when the potential loss outweighs the potential gain.
In other words, now the market is in hard mode, as easy money has already been made.
You are risking an 80% correction for only a 20/30% upside.
A stupid trade to take based off greed.
This is the key that determines whether you win or not.
Focus on this.
Like this tweet and I will help you by sharing what I’m looking at.
There are not many projects with asymmetric upside left.
You do not want to miss my picks.
