If you want a rare life, you have to be delusional. Doubt can enter your mind, and it can sound reasonable, but if you entertain it too much it will slowly drag you down into stagnation. I'd rather reap the lesson from massive failure than do nothing because it's not "realistic."

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

At some point, usually in your 20s, you'll notice that the people around you stop believing in themselves. And no matter how hard you try, you can't save them. By all means, do not let it infect your mind. Stay on your path.

Elon Musk on starting a company:

> Study engineering and learn how to design new things

> Find a few like-minded people

> Build a prototype as fast as possible

> Reach out to venture capitalists for funding

If you want to achieve anything great, it needs to become your one true priority. The only thing on your mind. Nobody accidentally got rich from business. Nobody accidentally built a great physique. They were obsessed with it for multiple years until it became their default.

THIS IS CRAZYY!!!!🤯

A guy just built a $1.8 billion company with two employees. Him and his brother. Using AI.

Matthew Gallagher started Medvi from his house in Los Angeles. Spent $20,000 and two months. AI wrote the code. AI made the website. AI made the ads. AI handled customer service.

First month. 300 customers. Second month. 1,000 more. First full year. $401 million in sales. This year on track for $1.8 billion.

His only hire? His younger brother. That's the entire company.

The New York Times verified the numbers. $65 million profit last year. More than $3 million coming in every single day.

Now compare this. Hims & Hers sells weight loss drugs online. 2,442 employees. $2.4 billion revenue. 5.5% profit margin. This guy is doing nearly the same with two people and triple the margins.

He grew up living in motels and cars. Taught himself to code on a laptop his uncle gave him. Sold samurai swords on eBay as a teenager. Didn't finish college. Moved to LA to become an actor.

Now he's running the fastest growing company nobody has heard of.

When his website broke during a hike he had to sprint home because there was nobody else to fix it. Lost 200 customers in one hour. That's the reality of a two person company doing $1.8 billion.

A VC told him don't raise money. He listened. Zero outside funding. He owns 100% of it.

Two brothers. $20,000. A laptop. And every AI tool they could get their hands on. That's all it took.

You don't "get" lucky; you build luck.

@jtrader Yep, strategy, emotional regulation and discipline.

@ericspofford_ I 100% agree with this, having nice stuff is cool but its the experiences you get to share with your loved ones is even better.

Schools teach obedience.

-Sit down.
-Be quiet.
-Don't question.

Then you graduate.

Get a job.

Work for someone else.

Trading requires the opposite:

-Question everything
-Challenge authority
-Think independently

Becoming important, influential, and wealthy is the best way to escape the system.

Ignore the distractions and focus on winning.
