Rob Gronkowski says he lived off $50,000 as an NFL rookie because he understood the NFL meant "Not For Long"
"My agent gave me a $50,000 advance for what's going to come in the marketing world for myself. I just had to pay him back within the first $50,000 I made"
"I was able to purchase my first car, which was a 2008 Escalade, and then to be able to pay rent once I got to New England. And then from there on out, I really didn't need any other money"
"I was getting free meals at the facility. I just kind of needed gas money. You go out, the drinks are free or you pay for one, you get 10 free when you're when you're on the Patriots up in the Boston area"
"So I wasn't really spending much money at all, especially when it got to the season. I mean, you're inside that building and everything's handed to you on a daily basis from breakfast all the way to dinner"
"I just lived off my marketing dollars. I was living a low-level life. I had a condo with a roommate that was on the team as well. We're paying $1,500 a month in rent while in the NFL"
"I was very frugal and that's how I got away with it. Not having any lavish purchases, the first couple years in the league and just banking away what I was making because I truly understood that the NFL stands for not for long"
Rich Paul:
“I got guys, 22, making $200M over the next 4 or 5 years. I'm constantly telling them that's not a lot of money based upon where you're starting, because you're starting from zero… Not to mention jeans today, the ones they want that they're buying in excess, which they probably don't really need, cost $2,000… No athlete can afford to fly private all the time, yet we see so many athletes on Instagram flying private. I fly Delta.”

Novak Djokovic just said only 5% of your daily life is actually conscious.
Djokovic is the 24-time Grand Slam champion and has spent the last 20 years studying the mental side of high performance.
He says he was shocked when he learned the science behind this number.
"How in the world are we then able to live how we want to live where we are actually on autopilot most of the time?"
The 95% on autopilot is your subconscious mind reacting to whatever you have already uploaded into it. It's why you can drive and text and eat without thinking.
Djokovic says most people lose their lives to a subconscious they never bothered to program.
He reprograms his daily through prayer, visualization, and breath work.
The crowd chanting his opponent's name doesn't shake him because his subconscious has already been told what to hear.

Chris Paul says you can become stressed just thinking about being stressed.
He says the worst gut issues of his career weren't caused by food.
They were caused by stress.
What Paul does when he feels the stress loop starting:
• Gets around his family
• Takes a break from work and slows down
• Resets his nervous system before it spirals
• Stops trying to be everything for everybody
He says trying to be everything for everybody is what runs you ragged.
Most people are stuck in a loop of being stressed about being stressed, and their cortisol pays the price.
The thing wrecking your gut is rarely on your plate.
