No, you didn't waste time. You learned.

8. The comeback required a new man

The old version of him became rich, but also careless. Too trusting. Too proud. Too comfortable. Too sure that success would keep protecting him.

The new version became dangerous because the fall had humbled him. He was calmer, sharper, more private, more disciplined, and less hungry for applause.

His final lesson stayed with me. Failure does not end a man who is willing to change. It only buries the version of him that was too weak to carry the next level.

@garyvee Needed this today Gary, thank you. Nearly lost everything this year. And at 35 , starting over sounds very daunting

[Dear Son. @DearS_o_n]

To All Men, it is OK to:

• Feel lost at 34
• Restart at 36
• Dream again at 38
• Grind in silence at 40

You just have to keep going.

[Leon @MindMatterMoney]

Men after losing everything.

[Malvin @ManOfFocus_]

You can be:

lost at 22
broke at 28
unsure at 31
start over at 35
glow and rise at 38
find your purpose at 42
become truly unstoppable 47

Dear bro, Trust the process. You’re not behind.

You’re still becoming. Greatness is never rushed.

[Mike Menzel @MikeMenzel1]

@TedPillows This is so true. Cost me almost everything to learn this the hard way :/ still trying to recover

[Mike Menzel @MikeMenzel1]

@DearS_o_n Amen

[Dear Son. @DearS_o_n]

Nothing kills a man faster than the weight of his thoughts. Dear son, stay calm. Please don't stress over things that are out of your control. Only Fix what you can.

[Mike Menzel @MikeMenzel1]

@TheH0n3stTrader I’ve lost $700K over 5 years. I learned… a ton. And see how many mistakes I made …. And it is gut wrenching.

[Ted @TedPillows]

If you fail.

Congratulations.

Most people don't even try.

[Mike Menzel @MikeMenzel1]

Honestly, I learned so much and it’s been gut wrenching. That was bad decisions over a 5 year period of time.. chasing recoveries that never happened on speculative stocks and crypto… horrible management of the capital and terrible emotional decisions.

I’ve learned to stay way more conservative and only invest in things you are able to afford holding onto for at least 5-10 years.

@darrenv96 @sierraaaliyahh Where do you Live

[Mike Menzel @MikeMenzel1]

@darrenv96 Yeah I feel like the market is way way over inflated compared to the economy which can happen, but this seems overly inflated and so many “gamblers” in the market

[Mike Menzel @MikeMenzel1]

@darrenv96 I feel like we are approaching dot com era type hype right now… what do you think?? ?

[Mike Menzel @MikeMenzel1]

@darrenv96 Yeah I don’t know what I was thinking… z

[Mike Menzel @MikeMenzel1]

@darrenv96 Crypto and stocks. Used too much margin.. and way too many speculative trades and no discipline

[Mike Menzel @MikeMenzel1]

@pete_rizzo_ @grok is this true?
