Nothing has ever come easy without hard work, dedication and sacrifice. 2021 has been a record breaking year. Looking to 10x my success in 2022. #godfirst#realestate#tech#sales#marketing
Smart people should not get trapped in status competition.
Status competition sucks our energy to the point we achieve nothing of meaning or consequence.
Prestige is the enemy of progress. In business, prestige is the enemy of profit. In public life, prestige is the enemy of service.
Better financial decision?
Buys $1.5M house:
$75k interest to your bank
$18k to property taxes
$5k for insurance
$15k average to fix random things
$113k/yr “thrown away”
Rents $1.5M house:
$85k/yr “thrown away”
And can actually invest that $380k down payment somewhere.
If someone ever wrongs you, try your best not to “punish” them.
Aka don’t deliver karma.
Why? Enemies and fights with dog shit people are extremely time consuming.
Let the person continue like they are. They will eventually F with the wrong person and get punished 10x worse than you ever could.
Your #1 goal with shitty people is to get them as far out of your life as possible. Fighting/punishing them usually brings them deeeeply into your life and like a pig they usually will LOVE to roll in the mud and keep you there with them.
Turn the other cheek and let them keep up the behaviour until they do it to the wrong psycho.
99% of startups don't raise venture capital.
They answer to no one.
They choose when to work.
They choose how much to work.
They live amazing lives.
Then if successful they exit for millions.
Be one of those founders.

Most of the time, a degree is just a sign that you can do work you hate for years without pursuing your own thing, and that's exactly what employers want.
Short term, Instant gratification beats delayed gratification.
Long term, Delayed gratification DESTROYS instant gratification.
Instant gratification = 99% of people
Delayed gratification = 1% of people
Instant gratification party is bigger.
Don’t let them recruit you!
