Reinventing the wheel is essential to achieving mastery
Start learning every skill by doing a perfect replica of a masterwork—a painting, a website, a product, a story
You’ll appreciate all the details that went into making something great, and have a to-do list of what to improve upon (the difference between your version and what you copied)
PS. Mastery is defined as being able to make something masterful without reference material
Building financial wealth is just another rat race. The goal post shifts. 🤑
Time freedom on the other hand is not a race, it has a maximum. There are only 24 hours in a day. If you can control your time and do things on your own terms, you’ve already won. 🏆

A few ways to navigate this as someone who's lived in the UK all of their life:
1. Move close to nature. You want multiple walking routes at your doorstep.
2. Move close to community. Good pubs, restaurants, schools. Use your local amenities.
3. If you have family and friends around, see them as often as you can.
4. Travel lots. You're right in the middle of the map.
5. Take your holidays in November and February. Get out of the cold in the dead months.
6. Stay at home June to August. Do staycations while it's warm. There's nothing like a great British summer.
7. Make friends with people from other countries. Learn to take inspiration from success. Get some perspective.
8. Advertise your services globally on the internet to break through local price ceilings.
9. Go to the gym. Especially when it's dark.
10. Remember that happiness comes from within. A new place can improve your quality of life, but your internal problems will follow you wherever you go.
@dr_nigel_lane@NHSEngland As you say you have been a cons for 9 years, a junior before that. A time period in which pay has been eroded by the govt. You may not need more pay, but your juniors do — fight for them if you actually care about supporting the same clinicians supporting you on your wards.
