建议所有试图走出低谷或者想彻底换一种活法的朋友, 把 Dan Koe 刚发出的这套长文系统连看三遍。

很多人都有过同一种令人窒息的经历: 下定决心要早起、健身、做副业, 结果两到四周之后一切又悄无声息地滑回了原点, 甚至被同一个恶习生生困住整整十年。

绝大多数人以为这是自己意志力不够, 但从物理学上看, 你的起步策略从第一天就选错了。

火箭升空需要把总重量 85% 到 90% 的燃料在短短几分钟内全部烧光, 才能挣脱地表引力; 但只要冲破大气层进入既定轨道, 后续飞行的燃料消耗几乎就是零。

启动你人生的燃料, 和维持你人生的系统, 根本就不是同一种东西。

很多人最大的误区是用温吞的微习惯去对抗十年的重力惯性。

在最脆弱的启动阶段, 你需要的根本不是心平气和的自律, 而是极度浓烈的战术压力。

对自己所处现状的极度厌恶, 或者是主动把自己逼进不可退缩的绝境, 才是能点燃 90% 推进剂的脏燃料。

真正让我觉得有意思的是他指出的高手真相。

顶级创业者和运动员每天工作 16 个小时不觉得痛苦, 不是因为他们每天都在咬牙坚持, 而是因为卓越早就成了他们的出厂设置, 让他们去过平庸的生活反而像下地狱一样难受。

一旦火箭被推上了轨道, 就要立刻丢掉脏燃料, 切换到极简的环境自动回路。

输入端必须戒掉智力肥胖, 把每天刷几百条无用碎片的习惯直接掐死;

输出端则把行为拆解成最小可识别动作, 进健身房只承诺做一组硬拉, 坐到桌前只承诺写一行文字, 并在行为发生后立即绑定确定性的奖励。

痛苦和强厌恶负责把火箭暴力推离地面, 极简环境和最小动作负责让系统在轨道上零阻力滑行。

回看你过去经历过的最好的一次蜕变, 当时把你推离地面的到底是一次具体的暴击, 还是慢慢积累的顿悟?

我先说, 以前逼我彻底戒掉熬夜拖延的, 就是一次因为精力涣散当场丢掉核心客户的惨痛教训。

输入端节食与输出端四步回路的完整操作清单, 我整理好沉在一楼了。

this is insane. i genuinely don't understand why ambitious people aren't shown this lecture before their careers start consuming their entire lives.

clayton christensen spent his career studying why successful companies collapse. in his final class, he asked students to apply the theory to themselves: if you keep allocating your time the same way, what life are you actually building?

he had already seen the answer in his own harvard mba class. everyone looked successful at the fifth reunion; by the 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th, many were unhappy, divorced, and living far from their children.

work shows you the score immediately. close a sale, ship a product, finish a presentation, earn a promotion, get paid.

an hour with your child may produce nothing you can measure today; it may take 20 years to understand what that hour built. so the next free hour goes back to work, one rational decision at a time.

this is how people build lives they never planned: through hundreds of right decisions that lead in the wrong direction, day after day.

money, titles, and headcount are easy to count. christensen believed a life should be measured by the people who became better because you were there.

he died in 2020.

one question remains: if someone saw only where your time, energy, and attention went this year, what would they think actually mattered to you?

the full 19-minute lecture is in the video below.

Ted K was right about Leftists. They resent and hate men who achieve because it forces them to confront their own lack of accomplishments. That's why they're proud of things like being gay or black, which requires no effort. Because deep down they all feel like losers.

The US government paid a guy $41,000 for office chairs he bought at Costco for $19,000, and it wants to do it again next month

He's not a furniture company. He has no warehouse. He has a laptop, an LLC, and a free registration on a government website that 99% of people have never heard of

Here's how the biggest customer on earth buys things

The federal government spends about $750 billion a year on stuff. Chairs, printer paper, gravel, forklifts, dog food for K9 units, port-a-johns, lightbulbs. By law, a huge chunk of it has to go to small businesses, and anything under $15,000 can be bought by a government employee with a purchase card, no bidding, from whoever answers first

The website is sam . gov Registration is free. Takes an afternoon. You get a number, you pick the codes for what you sell, and every open contract in the country is searchable

The play he runs:

Search for small purchase requests. An Army base needs 60 office chairs. A VA clinic needs 400 cases of copy paper. A national park needs 12 picnic tables
Find the item at Costco, Sam's, Uline, or a wholesaler
Bid at 40 to 60% over his cost. He wins maybe 1 in 8 because most "real" suppliers don't bother with small orders
Buy the product, ship it or drive it there, submit the invoice
Government pays in 30 days by law. Prompt Payment Act. If they're late they owe you interest

The chairs: a federal building in Texas needed 130 task chairs. He bid $41,000. Costco Business had them at $146 each, $19,000 total. Delivered in 9 days on a rented box truck. Profit $22,000 on one order he found on a Tuesday

His first year: 14 orders won. $312,000 in revenue. $118,000 in profit. Zero employees

"Why doesn't Costco just sell to the government directly?"

Costco doesn't chase $41,000 orders. Big suppliers don't either. The government is required to buy from small businesses and small businesses are too intimidated to register. That gap is the entire business

The one problem: you buy the chairs before the government pays you. That's 30 to 45 days of $19,000 you need up front. He floats every order on 0% business cards. Government pays the invoice, cards get paid, spread stays. He's never used a dollar of his own money and the bank has never charged him interest
