Being part of something bigger than yourself, being intentional, never be satisfied, add value to others, and always keep hustling. I like to be part of something like that!

Are you intimidated by what you are trying to do today, this week, this month, this year.
Is what your trying to do something you CURRENTLY cannot do.
If you can get up and easily do whatever you are aiming to do you are not growing. Period.
If you CANNOT already do it and it intimidates you you will grow by doing it.
In terms of making money (or anything) if you consistently just get up and focus on
-Upping the difficulty on things you CAN do to a level you struggle at
-Doing new things that apply to your core skill that you currently cannot
On a long enough timeline you will just get so good that making money becomes extremely easy.
Very few people do this on a span of years. By default your skills will be so great that you simply can out perform others.
This will lead to you having an edge and also being highly in demand.
For example a top .1% tattoo artist can charge $2000 for a tattoo and is booked out 6 months in advance. Why? No one else can do it at that level.
Then you just keep repeating this.
Apply this to a skill set as simple as
-Running ads/generating traffic
-Building online sales funnels
-Closing phone calls
-Creating a product
(AKA my skill set)
With those 4 skills at the level I have them I can pretty much print money on command.
I took the 4th one to the highest level by going into software creation.
That said, I've done those 4 things for a decade plus. I consistently aimed to increase the difficulty.
After 10 years with these set up I can routinely break $100k+ a day, even if I am not working.
It's not luck. By default if you are good enough at certain skill sets or skill chains you will just be able to crush it.
The way you get better is the simple pattern I stated above,
-Upping the difficulty on things you CAN do to a level you struggle at
-Doing new things that apply to your core skill that you currently cannot
If your waking up today and doing something you can already do...You are not leveling.
This is like learning Jiu Jitsu and after getting good enough to stomp a 1 week beginner, you just stop and only stomp 1 week beginners.
You MUST always be leveling. If it makes you go "ick", makes you frustrated and you feel a resistance to learning it...This is where you go.
Just like in Jiu Jitsu...Even if you are an unathletic mess of a human...On a 10 year time line, you will be able to WHOOP 99.9% of people on earth.
The same applies to money.
The REASON 99% of people are bad with money is they obtain a skill, then stop leveling. They maybe improve at it 10% a year after that.
You should be leveling at 5000% a year. This is only done by setting your life default on "intimidation" at all times.
If done so, you cannot help but get good at what you are targeting...yes even if the thing you are targeting is money.
The process is NOT complicated.
If your a beginner guitarist and you see a Steve Vai solo it will seem complex and make NO sense to you in the same way you look at at 10 year entrepreneurs business.
However, after 10 years of constant leveling in guitar even complex things like a Steve Vai solo will make sense. You should be able to play it n get it without much problem.
The same applies to business.
STOP trying to make sense of what a 10 year veteran is doing and INSTEAD focus on leveling via the simple system above.
Pound it back with a like and lets begin.
Market is cyclical like every thing in this world.
We have to adapt to such conditions and learn every day to score big.
Today we stand on the threshold of a historic moment.
Either we will become winners, or will regret for the rest of our lives.
I saw 2 bullruns and I can say with confidence that the early buyers will earn the most.
And this cycle will be the last and most powerful in the history of Web3.
