@PeterSchiff This has to be rage bait

You gotta be putting like 10x shots on net compared to what you’re currently doing. Most people take one shot every few years. To run up the score you should be putting up 2-3 shots a day minimum. At the end of each year you’ve shot thousands of shots while most people did nothing. It’s a numbers game. Your shooting percentage can be horrible and you’ll still lap everyone. Gotta score to win. Gotta shoot to score. Shoot more.

The 2-4 hours you spend scrolling each day (or 730-1460 hours each year) is more than enough time to write a book, build a business, or get in shape. In the moment, it seems like nothing. That's why it's so dangerous. Your time disappears without you being conscious of it.

People who use ozempic and other weight loss drugs are cowards who can’t commit any dedication to accountability for themselves to just eat better and move more rather than looking weird and receiving bad side effects instead of increasing their longevity and health

Say “I’m going to be a top 10% person at this thing” and carry that mindset to whatever you actually execute you’ll live an extraordinary life

@skumWgmi You can still find it if you look hard enough in the right parts of the country. Given they’re not very attractive

[jo johnson @josbjohnson]

you wake up and reach for your phone before your eyes focus. scroll through a hundred thoughts that aren’t yours until your own voice sounds like someone you used to know and by noon you’ve consumed more information than your grandparents did in a year but can’t name a single thing that actually moved you. the feed keeps serving up other people’s lives and you keep swallowing them whole, mistaking the fullness for satisfaction when really you’re just bloated on nothing. you’ve become a processing unit instead of a person and the loneliest part is how normal it feels.

Pulled out a personal Gold Amex to pay off my tab at the bar this weekend. Guy beside me asked if it was “daddy’s money”

If you still believe a Gold Amex or anything alike to it “wealth” you’re a midwit

@rooosterx All major cities now, such a scam

[sysls @systematicls]

Some life alpha:

If you are determined, ambitious and hardworking, life will give you a lot of opportunities to succeed by allowing you to find spots in which you can press for an advantage.

You can think of your day to day as mostly being uneventful as you press yourself up against the wall of opportunity. Months go by and often nothing happens.

One fine day, without warning, a crack on the wall will appear and you will be able to reap what you have been sowing for the past couple of months/years. The time from pushing to reaping is indeterminate, random and extremely frustrating.

Most people will give up long before it happens - for 2 reasons:
1) their patience is finite, fragile and thin and
2) they are easily distracted by the things that don't actually matter. (hint: MOST things in life don't actually matter ex-post)

When you are chasing an outcome, you will find a hundred distractions in your path and conjure a million reasons on why you should give up.

--

But if you are earnest about your goals and have the patience of a monk and the drive and tenacity of a warrior - the wall will break. Reality will crack under your will.

Everything else is a distraction.

I have a friend who does $500M+/year revenue and another friend (young kid) who cashflows $2M/month on crypto.

Before both of them found success, they had started three or four different things at once. A lot of people thought they had a “lack of focus” because they pivoted constantly.

But eventually they hit a winner, and then they 10x'd on that one thing.

That’s a pattern I've noticed with people who build successful businesses.

They try a ton of different things, find creative new ways to acquire customers because they're not locked into one channel, and then go all in once they find what works.

But not everyone can operate like them.

That’s why I still think being focused when building is good advice providing you have something worth working on long term.

But for a certain type of person, the "lack of focus" early on is exactly what helps them find the real opportunity.

The trick is knowing which one you are.

And then having the discipline to 10x on the winner once you find it.

[Matthew @tvffer]

All it takes in your short life you have is to try enough to find the spark in one thing you pull yourself through and gaining enough momentum to be successful in almost any other thing you wish to do in your life.

The trying and failing until you get to a systematic routine of things that just work brings that success. Carrying that similar blueprint structure when you pivot into new seasons of life is what creates “luck” in anything you do. You are a completely different person every time.

Brute force and solid structure will always bring you the lessons you need to learn and you will prosper once you understand your problems. Being a forever student to understanding what you don’t know keeps you flowing.

People are crying and complaining about Bitcoin going below $100k like it wasn’t just this year it was celebrated for even touching it.

Wishing that it would even get there was a pipe dream for over a decade.

It’s best that you just sideline yourself eternally at this point.

[Matthew @tvffer]

How about instead of wishing for a $2,000 check from the Government, you start a business, get a 2% Cashback Credit Card and run $100,000 a year or more in business expenses through it.

You can get as many stimulus checks as you are good at spending money. Poor mindset.
