May be misquoting, but one of your / andrew's takes was reading books are a waste of time to making money.
What's the point of reinventing the wheel and figuring stuff out yourself when you can learn from other people's experience to do what they did?
Experts spend months putting their experience and knowledge into a book.
Seems silly to not use that.
Never met this fella, but I remember when he was running a basketball training offer out of college.
Always seemed like he was having fun. Just enjoying the ride with his friends.
Then one day I woke up and he was pulling $100k/m+
It stuck with me because at the time, the twitter meta was about posturing online, while he was one of the few who was just himself.
RIP Ben,
wish we could've met.
We lost one of the greats tonight.
Genuinely the most magnetic, talented, charming guy I’ve ever met in my life.
Changed thousands of lives in person and online. Nobody in this circle would be who they are without him.
One of one.
Long Live Ben Bader.
Love you brother.
We can run up businesses all day and make a bunch of money
But the story of our life we’ll tell our kids will be the moments we spent with the people we care about most.
Never get that confused
i wanna live a thousand lives before dust… Ferrari ceo, bum under bridge, drunk artist losing mind at 3am, fighter chasing purpose, junkie chasing god, hangover writer, monk, outlaw, prophet, player, family man, mountain hermit, city wolf, beach bum
Entire spectrum. beauty, filth, genius, failure etc.
in general I've noticed americans care less about quality and more about getting things quickly.
Aussies clients are quite the opposite in some way.
Completely different beast in terms of fullfillment.
The 9-5 lifestyle was the real alpha all along. Start the morning by getting out of the house. Lock into a few hours of deep focus. Socialize with fellow humans when you want a break. Retreat back to your sanctuary after a long day of progress
The only reason it feels like a prison is because you're being forced to do it. But have your own autonomy and make your own rules, many of you will eventually come to structure your routine this way again by choice after experiencing the insidious comfort of undisciplined freedom
bali lowkey a vibe
Can surf / train every day because beach and gyms are all 10 minutes away.
eating good food is dirt cheap
All laundry / admin is outsourced
+ everyone is hot
Turns out you can add a clause in your contracts so your debt collection costs are added ONTOP of the invoice amounts.
You get paid full fee, debt collector gets paid his fee, client pays for you both.
PSA: If you have issues with a client not paying - get in contact with a debt collector. They'll handle all the followup / legal jazz to get you paid in exchange for ~20-30% of invoice amount.
Such a powerful tool to have in your back pocket
