Game theory teaches: never enter a game you haven’t studied. Never show your hand before the money is on the table. And never play to be liked — play to build so much leverage that the rules eventually stop applying to you entirely. Most people lose not because they are outworked but because they are outplayed. They do not understand the game they are in, they reveal too much too soon and they care more about approval than position. Learn the game first. Move quietly. Build until you have enough leverage to write your own rules.
Be a guy in his 20s. Build an online business. Make wifi money. Grow a personal brand. Travel the world. Read books. 10K steps a day. Make $10k - $15k/month. Do one thing that scares you every day
Be so psychotically locked in that your current self has no choice but to keep up.
Grant Cardone says you have to change who you spend time with if you want a $1,000,000,000 net worth
"if you want a billion dollar net worth you have to change who you spend time with...you cannot be HIM and become a billionaire"
"You need to think what are the different paths you need to take whether a business owner, a real estate investor, a stock investor...my kids are going to have a different path than you because one of my kids could inherit the company and be wealthy"
"you have to move yourself to who, where these people meet, what do they think about, what do they talk about"
All foids hate girl bossing. Deep down they all know it is simply a coping mechanism for dealing with the fact that they can only attract and retain losers. The moment they feel they might have a chance of locking down a man they actually respect, someone who can actually take care of them, they immediately discard all their feminism and return to factory settings.
There’s a scene in Breaking Bad where Walter White’s wife realizes he’s made $7.5 million and says:
“There’s no way we can wash this money through a car wash. No car wash in the world makes that kind of money in a year.”
That line hit me. Because it exposes a truth most people ignore: How much you earn is capped by the kind of business you run.
You can work harder, stay longer, even get smarter - but you’ll never make more than what your business model is designed to carry.
You can grind your way to the top 10% of most fields, but the top 0.1% works differently; it's reserved for people who've found their work so absorbing they've stopped noticing the grind at all.
Tesla often forgot to eat. Edisons assistants said he couldn't understand why his employees got tired. He'd hammer at a problem for 30hrs, then look up confused that everyone had gone home and assumed they were sick. Buffett, in his nineties, reads 500 pages of annual reports a day for fun.
People assume these people had super-human willpower, but they actually had a completely different relationship with effort; the effort in itself was the reward. Forcing yourself to work hard is exhausting, but not being able to stop is something totally different. The biggest rewards in life come to the people who don't experience hard work as work at all.
La plupart des gens traversent leur existence comme si le temps leur était garanti, sans vraiment intégrer que la vie ne tient qu’à un fil et qu’elle peut basculer ou s’arrêter à tout moment. Nous vivons souvent dans l’illusion d’un lendemain acquis, remettant à plus tard nos rêves, nos choix et parfois même notre bonheur. Pourtant, c’est lorsque nous acceptons profondément la fragilité de notre condition que quelque chose change en nous. À partir de cet instant commence une nouvelle manière de vivre : plus consciente, plus authentique et plus libre. Comme le dit ce magnifique bouquin: « Ta deuxième vie commence le jour où tu comprends que tu n’en as qu’une seule. » Alors, faites ce que vous aimez, donnez du sens à ce que vous entreprenez, restez humbles dans vos succès et respectueux envers les autres. Mais avant toute chose, choisissez-vous. Choisissez la paix, choisissez la joie, choisissez le bonheur. Car la vie est trop précieuse pour être vécue autrement que pleinement.
Michael B. Jordan shares one of the biggest lessons he’s learned in life
“I think being unapologetically honest with what you want and that goes across the board because a lot of times the fear of how somebody’s going to react to what you really want to say is what stops you from saying it”
“So you find another way or you put it off or you don’t say it and maybe the situation doesn’t change and you get frustrated and upset why this thing doesn’t change because you might not have said it the way you wanted to say it”
“I think there’s a way to be unapologetically honest and still be respectful and speak your truth”
“If I would have done that earlier, I would have been further along in relationships that I have with people I care about. Work relationships, business, family, friends, whatever it may have been”
“I think being honest with where you stand and how you feel is really giving another person an opportunity to be as honest with you and whatever your fear of that outcome is, it’s never really as big as what you make it up to be”
“Tomorrow is not promised to anyone but time will move on, you will move past it and if tomorrow never comes, at least you can know that you said what you needed to say”
Be a jacked, handsome businessman who trains martial arts, has friends in all places, is a social genius, has a beautiful, feminine girlfriend, reads philosophy and power dynamics, and has a group of friends obsessed with winning.
God is saying to you today: I know you are worried about your finances, your health, and even your next move. Remember, I always work in your favor. I will bless you with peace, healing, and victory today. Let go of the worries your blessings are just around the corner. Don't you dare give up. You must have faith and believe. I have your back.
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.
Sat next to a 27 year old on a flight from Miami to New York last month.
$180k in a Robinhood account.
He noticed I was looking at a trade on my phone and asked what I did.
I told him I sell options for income.
He said "oh I have stocks, I just hold them."
I asked what his account paid him last month.
He laughed. Said "nothing, that's not how it works."
I told him it could.
Take $100k of that $180k and set up an automated iron condor system on SPX.
Sell monthly. Collect premium regardless of direction.
2% monthly = $2,000/month. $24k/year. Cash.
In your account. Not locked in appreciation you can't touch until you sell.
The other $80k stays in his stocks. Fine. Let it grow.
But now the account has two jobs, not one.
He spent the rest of the flight asking questions.
Most people don't know their money can work like this. They were never taught it.
But this is how the wealthy build their income.
