@waronweakness LLMs are dangerous asf
You can legit spend hours with one planning everything
But if you aren't putting that shit into execution
Just a waste of time

@borekbruhh I used to give the advice "forget about your circle if they don't want the same thing as you"
and as i've grown older i think it's now terrible advice
just because mfs aren't into crypto or biz etc
doesn't mean you should leave em
especially if they're mad supportive
English

your day ones are the best bro fr
everyone says "cut off your broke friends and get rich friends"
i partially agree
meeting people with the same mindset will push you forward
and if your day ones don't support you at all then yeah they suck and you should cut them
i eliminated most of those
but i still have 2 day ones i've known for 10 and 15 years and i'm never letting them go
no new friend can give me what they gave me
i don't care if they're not rich
if i'm rich and they're not i'll pay for our trips from my pocket
bro i WANT to do that
don't let money change you so much that you throw away real ones for some networking contacts you met 6 months ago
yeah your rich friends will push you in business
but your day ones will keep you grounded as a person
the only difference is what they're for
your day ones aren't there to talk business
they're there to remind you who you were before the money
so they are the REAL ones
and your new friends are there to push you where you're going
you need both
just don't confuse which is which
and never throw away 15 years for a guy you met at a mastermind

@ItsKieranDrew I'd find that shit hard asf
I'd be talking to every mf

Going for my first silent meditation retreat tomorrow.
Looking forward to it. I’ve found it harder to set aside time for silence. A combination of writing the book and building fun stuff with AI. But I’m convinced a clear mind is only becoming more important in a world that is getting more noisy.
Will share more when I’m back.

this is more of a small rant than anything but since i have a platform here goes lol
since I've gotten a lil bit of success in the whole "make money online" "entrepreneur" space,
I've had a bunch of friends (both in-person and online) ask me how I got here
these are people who, just like me, spent the last 5 years or so trying to make something work
and I've noticed that the reason why most people don't see success often comes down to just 2 things:
1. they don't work hard enough
this advice is often frowned upon or called “cliche” in the space, but it’s as famous (or infamous) as it is for good reason
one large part of breaking into this space is actually being able to put aside every excuse you have and work hard
yes, it’s difficult.
there’s no “easy way” to break out of it.
- “dopamine detox” doesn’t work
- all the focus tactics don’t work
- the 3 Best Tactics video doesn’t work
the only thing that solved this for me was making a quiet decision on my own, to do the hard work, no matter what happens, especially when i didn’t feel like it
if you want to get results that 99% don’t, you need to be willing to do what 99% aren’t
there’s a verse in the Bible which I remember going something like this:
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.”
many, many people i know had a period of straight grinding when they started out
i remember waking up at 4am and sleeping at 11pm for a few months straight - just to try to get the business off the ground while i was working a job
i’d be so absolutely exhausted mentally and physically that i was sick all the time
but that period where i could barely keep my eyes open, acne ravaging my face, bank account in the double digits, was when i finally made the most linear progress in the biz
(im not saying you HAVE to destroy your body in order to succeed but i do believe that being willing to work is a huge part of it)
going from zero to one is always the most difficult because you gotta prep yourself mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
swords need to be forged in fire in order to not break on the first swing
2. they don’t know when to quit/pivot
seems quite contradictory from the first reason, but here’s what i mean
my first venture into online business was through instagram theme pages
this was in 2020/2021, long after the initial instagram theme page hype had lived and died
i spent 3 months growing a car page from 0 → 10,000 followers
trimming follows and unfollows
testing content, captions, and hashtags
trying different tactics to grow my page faster
when i tried to sell it, i couldn’t. realized the niche was dead soon after.
i had 2 choices:
a. pivot and destroy 3 months of work
b. keep going and watch my chances dwindle every day
there’s one story from the book $100M Offers where Hormozi talks about his friend trying to make it big in the newspaper industry - an industry which was shrinking by 25% year over year. there was just no way to succeed in such conditions
so i pivoted
started a minecraft youtube channel, brought it to 3k subscribers in half a year
this is also where i started studying content theory for hours every single day, which ended up getting me to where i am now
but i pivoted again shortly after because i couldn’t see myself being a minecraft youtuber at 50 years old
i soon joined X and started posting book reviews, hoping to monetize those
but soon i realized that the only way to make a significant amount of money was to develop a massive audience
ended up pivoting again
reason why im bringing this random lore up is because one element of success is to be able to think critically about what works and what doesn’t
and then determine WHY something isn’t working (and knowing whether to pivot from there or keep going)
is it your strategy?
is it that the niche doesn’t work?
is it that you’re not delivering enough volume?
this is only solved through trial and error + constant education
track what you’re doing, analyze what’s working and what isn’t, and make a logical decision from there
—
tldr: if you’re able to 1) commit to working hard and 2) know how to diagnose your situation, you’ll eventually make it.
of course, do keep in mind that (pretty obviously) im not perfect, neither are my methods, nor am i where i want to be
the goal of this post is just to point out a few common mistakes and misconceptions ive learned from my journey from 0 → about $200k online so hopefully it can help someone else too
if you disagree with any of this, please feel free to comment (esp if you’re someone who’s been where i am now and gone far further)
rant over
