Most founder-led businesses don't break because the founder isn't working hard enough. They break because the business runs on the founder instead of a system.

I wrote a book about why that happens and what it actually costs you.
It's called Built to Break.

If we “leveled the playing field” and gave everyone $100k to start...

In 5 years the ones who are broke now will be broke again, and the ones who are rich now will be rich again.

Money, or lack thereof, is not what makes people broke.
Behaviors, habits and choices do.

If you don’t surround yourself with people who fit your future, you’ll never outgrow your past.

[Damon Aleczander @damonaleczander]

Whatever you think you can't do, just know that there is someone who is confidently doing it wrong right now, they have no plans of doing it better, and people are paying them to do it.

Believe in your own ability at least as much as they do in their mediocrity.

[Damon Aleczander @damonaleczander]

Friendly reminder that you don’t need a perfect plan.

You just need a plan.
You just need some action, movement.

Movement will show you new paths and opportunities that you can’t see right now.

You’re walking in the dark. You won’t see what’s there until you get close to it. But you have to start heading that way.

Go do something.

Job security is an illusion.

Learning a high paying skill while working your current job is the best “life hack” you can make.

Uncoachable kids become unemployable adults.
Discipline is important.

You’ll always go further together.
Shake hands.
Collaborate.

It's no secret that the traditional job world isn’t fulfilling many dreams.

“What’s the best stock to invest in”

Stop. The best analysts on the planet can’t accurately predict a stocks performance without insider trading. The people on social media certainly don’t know.

Invest in indexes.

Instead of trying to find a needle in a haystack, you’re buying the haystack.

Unspoken expectations are premeditated resentments.

It's easier to act your way into a new way of thinking, than think your way into a new way of acting.

The only people who hate capitalism are those who don’t understand it.

40 sentences that will teach you more about nutrition than a $400,000 medical degree.

1) Meat, eggs and animal organs are the most nutrient dense foods on the planet.

"What stands in the way, becomes the way"

- Marcus Aurelius

In other words, everything holding you back, every obstacle you face, you have to overcome. Because it will shape you into the person you need to be, with the traits and skills you need to get what you want.

You can't bake a cake without the ingredients.

You can't circumvent the work.

“Can you explain this gap in your resume?”

“No, I signed a NDA”

You’re welcome.
