Based on everything I’ve seen, a simple recipe can work: focus on what’s in front of you, design great days to create a great life, and try not to make the same mistake twice. That’s it. If you really want extra credit, try not to be a dick, and you’ll be a Voltron-level superstar.
The secret to winning any game lies in not trying too hard.
Feeling as though you are trying too hard indicates that your priorities, technique, focus, or mindfulness is off. Take it as a cue to reset, not to double down. And take comfort in the fact that, whenever in doubt, the answer is probably hidden in plain sight.
What would this look like if it were easy?
In a world where nobody really knows anything, you have the incredible freedom to continually reinvent yourself and forge new paths, no matter how strange.
Embrace your weird self.
There is no one right answer . . . only better questions.
Tonight or tomorrow morning, take a decision you’ve been putting off, and challenge the fuzzy “what ifs” holding you hostage.
If not now, when? If left at the status quo, what will your life and stress look like in six months? In one year? In three years? Who around you will also suffer?
“Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.”

14/ But coming back to this - life is short, your special moments are much much fewer than you think.
Do the math for the 20 people and 20 things you love most.
Be realistic about how often you have done them the last 5 years.
Solopreneurs can't rely on work ethic.
Instead:
- Eliminate what you can
- Automate as much as possible
- Build out systems for leftover work
- Execute your systems every single day
Motivation eventually falters.
Systems rarely do.

Get a cup of coffee.
In this thread, I'll walk you through Shannon's Demon.
This is an investing "thought exercise" -- posed by the great scientist Claude Shannon.
Solving this exercise can teach us a lot about favorable vs unfavorable long-term bets, position sizing, etc.
