Urgency is what makes your brain believe that your dreams are possible to achieve. Without it, your mind will keep pushing the work to a tomorrow that will never come.
This sentences by Van Gogh hits hard:
“If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.”
An underrated cheat code in life: being incredibly reliable. Show up on time. Do what you say you will. Own your mistakes. It goes so much further than you think.
A pattern I've seen in people who get ahead:
They spend 2-4 hours a day in pure focus on one thing. Often. They learn, then implement, not just consume. That is the secret.
5 reasons your offer isn't converting:
1) Targeting poor people
2) Not enough Proof
3) Too little friction
4) Big outcome not fast enough
5) "Sounds like work"
I’m 30 now. The days of me being friendly, or trying to fw others are over. If it ain’t my wife, kids, business partners, family or trading community… just don’t even bother speaking to me or mentioning me. Zero response will be given. Locked in, traveling the world, and trading the best I’ve ever traded.
List of hobbies that put you in 0.1% of men:

If you want a rare life, you have to be delusional. Doubt can enter your mind, and it can sound reasonable, but if you entertain it too much it will slowly drag you down into stagnation. I'd rather reap the lesson from massive failure than do nothing because it's not "realistic."
Men are really So Important. The older I get, the more I recognize the value of masculine structure. Men fix things, bring stability, bring logic when emotions are high, protect us, help map out a solid game plan when we’re lost. They bring a type of balance and support that just hits different. Good and intentional men don’t always get the credit they deserve❤️.
May God bless all the Good men out there.🙌
Your girlfriend is your first child as a man, you train her, instruct her and control her
That’s why you must date a young woman with a clean slate
Not an old woman that has been taught by many men
If you're in your 20s, the smartest thing you can do to secure your future is create a personal brand.
Getting a degree no longer secures anything. We have no idea what jobs, finance, or tech will look like in 10 years. Our parents' generation can't properly advise us because the future we're moving into is so different from the world they grew up in.
In an uncertain world, the only asset that can't be outsourced, automated, or taken from you is you.
Your character traits and skills will be yours for life. Your network of other builders and creators at the edge of work are the most valuable connections to have. Your unique story and expertise are your greatest sources of value. The only thing to actually fall back on is yourself.
The best thing you can do to secure your future is to become anti-fragile, self-sovereign, well-connected, uniquely yourself, and irreplaceable.
Your future self will thank you for putting yourself in the online arena now, accumulating invaluable skills, and acquiring specific knowledge — because it's inevitable that everything we once knew is shifting to automation and AI, and everything we are going to know will shift to decentralization and the creator economy.
