Protect your reputation.
As a man, your reputation is your key to opportunities.
If your reputation is under siege due to overwhelming allegations,
Don't repudiate the allegations, you will dig deeper.
Keep silent, and let your accusers fight the validity of the allegations.
Once you become a man, you realize no one gives a shit or loves you.
The love we get in return is because of the provision we give.
You snooze, you lose.
It's the hard knuckle fact. We have to live with it.
Your anger will disappear once you get money.
Your depression will disappear once you get money.
Your tiredness will disappear once you get money.
Your sadness will disappear once you get money.
Bro, get money
Nobody claps for a man while he is building.
His family doubts him, and friends disappear.
Then one day, the results speak, and everyone acts like they believed in him. Crazy life.
Respect is the only currency that matters.
Money comes and goes. Looks fade. Status changes. But the respect you command from other men and from yourself? That’s permanent.
You have to earn it.
The wealthiest people in the world:
75% of them are entrepreneurs.
15% of them are investors.
7% are athletes.
3% are artists.
None of them are employees.
A salary cannot leverage you into self-sufficiency.
A salary takes you through a journey of 5 phases:
Phase 1: Earning
Phase 2: Spending
Phase 3: Borrowing
Phase 4: Planning
Phase 5: Budgeting
Once you cross Phase 5, which comes after years of being broke despite earning, you cross to 2 more phases
Phase 6: Saving
Once you cross Phase 6, which requires a lot of maturity, self-satisfaction, sacrifice and discipline,
You unlock Phase 7: INVESTING.
This is where you either become a business owner or remain an employee forever.
The entire food system is infiltrated with foods that are no longer fit for human consumption.
I discourage all my patients from consuming honey because it is nothing but sugar, molasses, and synthetic additives.
Who taught you that honey is packaged in plastic bottles?
Every man should experience a season where nobody believes in him.
It forces you to stop working for applause.
You learn to build in silence, trust your own vision, and find confidence that doesn't depend on other people's opinions.
You don't need big things to be happy. You need what makes your heart feel bigger. Some days the most productive thing you need to do is sit back and appreciate where you are at life. A peaceful life is greater luxury than fancy stuff.
