After working with thousands and thousands of high performers, the similarities start standing out…
A big common theme:
Delusion.
They’re all delusional.
Belief precedes performance.
On a call with a mentor last week he says, “My life has been very difficult.”
Oh?
Do tell.
- car wreck on way home from wedding, many years ago
- had to live with parents (used apartment money to buy new car)
- right before moving back out, someone broke into car & stole kids car seat
- did not have money to replace it, had to stay with parents again
I thought I was poor but this was a new level of poor.
I said, “What did you do?”
He said — “I cried a little bit. Then realized nobody gives a sh*t. They don’t care if you sit down and die. They don’t care if you come back with a vengeance. Might as well come back with a vengeance.”
A few months ago I saw a post by a guy on here who was celebrating his dream house.
A few years ago, he had 4 kids in an apartment and was trying to prevent getting his last car repossessed.
Decided to “go for it” and built a software. Now he’s rich… and they just moved into their dream house.

You can choose to be whoever you want to be, WHENEVER you want to.
The skill that must be developed is a special kind of crazy where you decide to ignore objective present reality because you’re tuned into a future reality that just hasn’t happened yet.
Every successful person gets to the top in their minds first.
Reality catches up later.
Interesting post on this in the comments — but this post is just to encourage you:
There’s nothing wrong with you…
The faster you stop feeling sorry for yourself, the faster you become who you were always meant to become. THAT person won’t care that you spent a few years in the wilderness figuring it out…
Badge of honor.
Anybody that came from nothing to something understands this and is proud of it 🚀

two ways to make money:
1. go where the money is
2. go where the money will be
