Make sure you're surrounded by cheerleaders

You know what they do?

They cheer you on

"I ran 5 km today"

"Wow! Good shit
Keep going man
With this pace someday you'll run 10 km or maybe 20 km"

"I made my first $200 MRR"

"F*ck yeah bro
Keep going
Next target $500"

Vs people who are jealous or just not excited for you:

"Only 5 km?? I can run 7 km"

See the difference? 🫠

That's why I always say:

🤏 Keep people around you who cheer you on and push you higher

- Friends
- Girlfriend
- Colleagues
- Family
- Business partners

You need people who genuinely celebrate your wins
And push you to go even higher

If someone constantly tries to make your achievements feel small...

✅ Maintain your distance

3 days passed happily,

Something bad is gonna happen

If that's you 🤏

That's called anticipatory anxiety

Why does this happen? 🤔

Reason: Your brain has learned to expect danger

Imagine growing up in a household where things could be peaceful one day and turn into arguments the next

You never knew when someone's mood would change

So you learned to stay alert, even during peaceful moments

"Everything is too good right now"

That thought feels suspicious to you

Because you've never experienced safety for long enough to trust it

So...

Solution?

There are many solutions

But what worked for me is:

Try to have boring, peaceful days

Yes, wake up, exercise, do your work

If your family is fighting, move somewhere peaceful if you can

✅ Give yourself a peaceful environment for a few months

Let your brain experience peace and calmness

Peace without constant drama

Within few months, repeated safe experiences will help you learn that calm doesn't always mean something bad is coming 🤏

Why direction is more important than execution? 🤔

You can reach your destination by train, bike, car...

Even by crawling 🫠

It's about the right direction

And that direction improves with knowledge and experience

🤏 Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said:

"If no one notices you, launch again. We have launched 5 times"

Look at how f*cking crazy some companies started:

Nokia → paper and rubber products

Lamborghini → tractors

Sony → tried selling an electric rice cooker

Look at them now 🫠

Start Launch→ Learn→ Adjust→ Launch again

Why do dads rarely spend money on themselves? 🤔

1. They see themselves as THE PROVIDER

They can spend $2,000 on their kid's college expenses without thinking twice

But when it comes to buying $100 shoes for themselves

They think 10 times

They were taught to be tough, endure discomfort, and put their family first

2. They confuse self-sacrifice with being a good father

They believe a good father always puts his family first

Even if it means putting himself last EVERY SINGLE TIME

So...

What's the solution? 🤔

If you're a son watching your dad do this, start here:

✅ 1. Help him save 5% of his income every month

Not for bills
Not for emergencies
Just for himself

✅ 2. After a few months, help him spend that 5% money on something he wants

A new shirt, better shoes, a gadget, or something he's wanted for a long time

Even if he doesn't NEED it

Why? 🤔

✅ It's to build a habit that:

• He can spend money on himself
• He can deserve good things

- Where all the confusion starts
- Where you start doubting yourself
- Reckless nights with no money
- The hunger to become profitable
- The madness to believe in yourself when nobody else does
- Being delusional enough to keep going
- Holding a straight face while drowning in debt 🫠

And trust me, it's all gonna be worth it

Because one day, you'll meet your friends at social gatherings

Some are fat because they have no time for their health

Some are driving the same old car they've had for years

Some are still paying off their house loans

And you'll realise something

You have time
You have energy
You have money
You have more control over your life

You don't have to depend on your boss's mood to feel happy

No last-minute work requests ruining your weekends 🤔

That's the real reward

So...

Repeat after me

"Making money by working for myself is worth more than working for someone else" 🤏

You can't fix everything

Yes..

All problems are not designed to be solved 🫠

Some problems are meant to be there

👀 In Tom and Jerry

If Tom kills Jerry, now the owner doesn't need Tom

He will become homeless
He will get no food
No comfortable life

So Tom just acts to chase Jerry but never actually kills him

So..

Don't be frustrated by

- This road has potholes
- My teenage kids don't listen to me
- Why can men walk topless, but not women
- etc.

Some things you can't solve, they are there because they need to be there 🤏

*Excluding your actions

The only thing you can control is your actions

So..

✔️ When you're bombarded with chaos and emotions

Just take a deep breath and ask

"Can I do something about it?" 🤔

If the answer is NO

Then smile and focus on what you can do

So..

✅ Repeat after me

"All problems are not designed to be solved"

When You Don't Know
'What to Do?'

Do This 👇

There are too many options

- Dropshipping
- Affiliate marketing
- Crypto
- AI agents
- Freelancing
- And 100 other fancy side hustles

So what should you do?

✅ Test everything rapidly

Why?

Because in the process, you'll learn:

- Storytelling
- Marketing
- Sales
- Persuasion
- Offer psychology
- And much more

While testing, you'll notice something

Some things feel like pushing a truck uphill (hard things)

Others come naturally to you

You learn faster, enjoy the process, and get better results (Easy things)

THAT'S your direction (domain/niche)

So what next?

✅ Master it

Just search:

"Top 10 people in _________"

- Follow them
- Read their books
- Study their work

See how they monetise their skills

So..

Let's summarise this in one line

TEST → DISCOVER → MASTER → Monetize 🤏
