Business Lessons I wish someone had told me at the beginning
1. Sell what is selling, not what you want to sell
2. Charge high - rich clients act and pay better
3. Never do discounts on your service
4. Never work for free (testimonial if new)
5. Ignore unsuccesful friends and family
6. Hire talented people, the chance of you fixing a loser with a sob story is highly unlikely
7. If one potential client can't afford your service, the next one will, the world is full of abundance
8. Scarcity mindset will cage your income potential
9. Copy people that have made it, your ideas probably suck, just copy what works
10. The bar is 30 feet lower than what you think it is, the bar is way lower in reality than in your mind
11. Most people suck at what they do and still get paid 12. Saturation is a myth
13. Find a niche where dumb people are getting rich
14. Choose the simple money witb low risk
15. Cash flow over evertything
16. Ignore criticisms over your business niche, no matter what niche it is people will mock it somehow, just follow the money
17. You don't get ready by "getting ready" you get ready by doing
Good people have high levels of empathy, but once that empathy is exhausted, they switch to a state of objective observation. They see you for exactly who you are, without the filter of their love. This is why their anger feels so cold, it is the absence of the warmth you took for granted
A woman can leave.
Money can leave.
Friends can leave.
Status can leave.
But a man who knows himself can rebuild from the ruins.
Because the strongest man is not the man who never collapses.
The strongest man is the man who rises from the ruins with his soul intact.
Money does not destroy relationships.
Money reveals them.
Money reveals
• Discipline.
• Leadership.
• Direction.
• Priorities.
• Character.
Money reveals the quality of decisions being made inside a home.
When money is flowing, many weaknesses remain hidden because life appears stable.
But, then, when pressure arrives, suddenly the arguments begin.
Most people think they are arguing about money.
They are not.
They are arguing about what money has exposed.
The absence of:
• Planning.
• Leadership.
• Vision.
• Discipline.
A drought does not create weak roots, it reveals them.
A woman will patiently live with you when you are broke because she can still see your direction, priorities, discipline and vision.
But if you remain rudderless, disorganized, chaotic and visionless, the marriage will collapse.
It is not the absence of money, it is the absence of leadership.
A storm does not create a weak foundation, it exposes it.
Money does exactly the same thing.

I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.
"Morning Breakfast is the most important meal," is a deceptive marketing phrase by Kellogg's and Nestlé companies to sell their cereals and bacon.
Human beings were not designed to eat in the morning. The earliest you should eat is when the sun is at Zenith (Midday).
In the morning,
• Cortisol is high
• Glucose is high
• Glucagon is up
• Testosterone is up
• Growth hormone is up
• Insulin is low
Therefore, eating in the morning disrupts this circadian rhythm predisposing you to long-term hormonal and metabolic failure.
If you continue listening to mainstream "experts" you will continue suffering.
Your body is not a food-processing factory.
