PROCRASTINATION IS AN ILLUSION

You only procrastinate when you're lacking direction or being stagnant.

Notice that you only procrastinate on the things that your identity hasn't aligned with yet.

During your most obsessive periods in life, there was no procrastination.

EXPAND YOUR THINKING

BUILD YOUR IDENTITY

Then action becomes automatic.

Your mind is the real bottleneck.

Jacob Bank, former Google product lead:

"I built up this team of 40 AI marketing agents to work with me. I'm the only marketing person."

In a 15-minute talk, he shows the exact math behind a one-person fortune.

Forty agents. One human. His AI bill is $500 a month, against the $50,000 a human team would cost.

That $49,500 gap, every single month, is how the first solo millionaires are minted.

Watch the talk, then see the skill in the article below.

Something I always say:

“You can’t outsource conviction.”

Meaning stop asking your friends/parents for their thoughts on what you should do.

You have to know what you need to do…and you have to have the balls to actually do it.

That often means doing what’s not in the best interest of those people

Do you think my family & friends were excited to see me move across the country to Miami?

Of course not. I was sad to move far away too.

But I knew I had to do it.
I knew it was the right next chapter for my growth.
And it was.

yeah sex is cool and but have you ever crawled out of the worst depression of ur life and got your spark back

[BOSS @thebeautyofsaas]

the only productivity system you will ever need

cold turkey extension for your browser + multiple pomodoro type sessions + knowing your chronotype + pen and paper to write down everything you are doing

game changer once you try and experiment a bit with it

[Cole Jaczko @colejaczko]

In your 20s and 30s your life will come crashing down.

It’s very important you use that opportunity to rebuild your life to be the most beautiful version of your life

My favorite @elonmusk quote that I often send friends:

Do not fear losing. “You will lose,” Musk says. “It will hurt the first fifty times. When you get used to losing, you will play each game with less emotion.” You will be more fearless, take more risks.

You will live in the pod, eat the bugs, use the only AI, and live on UBI.

I wrote down exactly who I want to be and what I want my life to look like. then I asked what does he do. how does he start his day. what does he eat. when does he sleep. how does he handle the hard conversations. what does his work look like. I wrote all of it down. then I just started doing it. you don't have to feel like him first. you act like him until you are him.

[BasedBiohacker @BasedBiohacker]

@ZedNilm1 Splashkit

[Zed @ZedNilm1]

$44k/month toy brands don’t need 1 perfect product photo

they need 1 product turned into a full summer ad stack

same water gun

different angles:

summer fun
quick refill
powerful spray
sunny day lifestyle
non-stop backyard play

Claude builds the concepts

GetHookd shows which statics are already working in the market

then you turn one product into 5 ads you can test fast

not guessing
building from proven patterns

rt + comment "splashkit" and i’ll send you the ai static ad workflow
(follow for dm)
