Today I turn 41.

At 34 I was the guy on the left.

Dad bod.
Always tired, a victim, & low energy.

At 41 I'm in the best shape of my life physically, mentally & spiritually.

It's not GENETICS.
It's LIFESTYLE CHOICES.

Here's the cheat codes:

This is Magic Johnson.

He owns 400+ boring businesses that have made him a billionaire.

(he even taught Shaq how to do it)

I’m no Ex-NBA Star…

But I still own 6 boring businesses that make $725k per year.

Here’s how I bought them as a normal guy:

@NickDrakon Great advice Nick, thanks for sharing! Is there a specific journal you like to use?

My Deep Work routine:

[Nicolas Cole 🚢👻 @Nicolascole77]

I've journaled for 30 minutes every morning for 14 years straight.

No fancy journal. No complex rules.

Just a pen, paper, and 4 simple prompts to help focus my mind and find clarity.

Here's the dead-simple system I use every day:

5 things you will never regret:

1. Building a business
2. Landing your first customer
3. Quitting a job that makes you unhappy
4. Hitting your previous salary w/ your biz

Then taking a week off to celebrate who you've become.

None of these are easy. All of them are rewarding.

I earn $30,000 per month as a writer and online business owner.

If I had to start over, here's what I'd do: 🧵

[Justin Welsh @thejustinwelsh]

Nobody owes you an opportunity. 

It's up to you to create your own. 

The easiest way to start is to stop asking a bunch of random people questions, and just do the darn thing today: 

1. Choose an idea 
2. Build a landing page 
3. Connect Stripe/PayPal 
4. Talk about it daily online 
5. Direct people to the page 
6. Make it easy to buy your thing 
7. Reach out to people for feedback 
8. Use the feedback to make it better

It's not easy. But it is simple. 

The people doing this successfully aren't smarter than you are. 

They just have an incredible bias for action and thick skin - they don't care about failing, because we all fail at some point. 

You can get started in an afternoon. 

Why not today?

[Justin Welsh @thejustinwelsh]

Getting fit is hard.
Being out of shape is hard.

Making money is hard.
Not making money is hard.

Starting a business is hard.
Being an employee is hard.

Ask yourself which "hard" propels you toward the life you envision.

Choose wisely — your future self will thank you.

I’ve read 100+ books on money.

50% were a waste of time.

20% were not relevant to me.

After 42 years on this earth I can say with 100% certainty that you shouldn’t do business with people who treat servers poorly.

It’s a sign of how they were raised and what your future relationship will look like.

[Rahul @sairahul1]

Everyone should own a faceless YouTube channel that earns $5,000/mo

Sadly, most people think this takes years to achieve.

Most people suck at building relationships online.

It's always:

- Help me!
- Can I pick your brain?
- Will you like my Tweet?

A terrible approach.

Here's how the top accounts on Twitter build real relationships:
