Pre-learning a math course before taking it at school makes you immune to bad teaching and opens doors to recommendations, research projects, and internships -- which open more doors.

I will persist until I succeed. Always will I take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult. I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking. ~ Og Mandino

@davidsirota the distinction I've made is that young people should approach the attention economy as a necessary skill not a career. you should be able to create content as part of your toolkit to whatever product you are selling. but you need to have an actual product

Being rich is not enough. You want to be:

Rich and smart
Rich and educated
Rich and disciplined

Just being rich and lacking these attributes is dangerous. And not in a good way.

[Rob Hoffman @RobHoffman_]

there are many games you can play to make money

but if you're not making money yet or losing sleep over where your next customer will come from there's only one game you should play: the numbers game

I hate cold email and yet am oddly inspired by it because it's a good reminder: whatever it is you're doing, there is always a volume at which it is statistically impossible to not make money

With just enough discipline, sacrifice & structure; I can be useful to the world

and in return, the world will reward me with abundance & fulfillment.

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

A lot of long term business success comes down to cycling through enough people over the years to filter for the top 1% that are all savages and love working together. Then the goals you go after just get bigger and bigger. And you add a winner or two every year. And never stop.

Byron Allen, Founder of Allen Media Group, explains how treating business like a contact sport unlocks unlimited capital:

Byron once borrowed $310 million on a Friday to acquire the Weather Channel. He paid it back in five months.

When the lender hit him with a $28 million prepayment penalty for closing too quickly, he paid that too.

His philosophy on why capital is never the real obstacle:

"Business is a contact sport. You're nothing more than economic athletes. They will see your passion. They will see your stats. And they will always want you on their team because you make them money."

The framing shift here is everything.

Byron sees founders as athletes whose performance is being evaluated by people who need them to win.

"You have unlimited amounts of capital available to you if your hustle is at the highest level."

@RealByronAllen drives the point home:

"Keep your hustle at the highest level because capital is always looking for you to get the money back and a return. There's trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars of capital looking for you. Go get it."

The takeaway: Capital is hunting for operators who can put up the stats. Hustle at the highest level, and the money will find you.

Competence is not glamorous while you are building it, but neither is being dependent on other people for everything that matters.

The things that happen in our lives are not designed to stop us. They’re designed to re-position us.

[Koffi @itskoffi]

What if the things that happen in your life are not as bad as they seem, and it is simply just your mind dramatizing them?

[Koffi @itskoffi]

Repel as much as you attract. This is good branding advice.
