Instead of relying on motivated Future You to get shit done, act now in case Future You decides to be a lazy f*ck.

Risk Aversion. Loss Aversion.

Your brain is standing in the way of you creating wealth.

→ Break down the causes of your conflicts
→ Craft steps to solve & close the loop

To change the conditions of your life, change the root cause.

The root cause isn't your mother.
It's not the world.

It's your subconscious mind.
Mold it to change the direction of your life.
