THREAD Story time... this is by far the craziest thing to ever happen at one of my keynotes in my life.

This is how Steven Spielberg became the youngest major studio director in Hollywood history… The full story is incredible and it’s my favorite Third Door example.

Steve Wozniak vs Steve Jobs… Who was more successful? That question led me to an insight that redefined my understanding of success and happiness.

Steve Jobs explaining what it takes to have a 20+ year vision succeed. This speech by Jobs is the secret to how big things happen in the world…. Consistent effort, ferocious focus, and a lot of time.

This is how Steve Spielberg became the youngest major studio director in Hollywood history… The full story is incredible and it’s my favorite Third Door example.

Mike Bloomberg has a $100b net worth and his story starts…. when he got fired from the job he loved. The final lines of this video resonate so much with me… Video: IG/@mikebloomberg

This is brilliant. Jeff Bezos’s top advice on how to strategize for business success 10 years from now… This applies to business, personal relationships, and so much more if you think about it.

Tony Robbins’ 10min morning routine… this is how he gets his emotional state at peak levels every morning. I’ve tried his system and it works better than I can say.

Napoleon Hill was the #1 success expert of the 20th century. And this was his two-step process to manifesting your biggest goal. It’s so straightforward it might sound silly. But it works. Who wants to reach their goal so bad that they are ready to give this a try?

“No notes.” This story is insane.

How to massively boost your self-esteem in 30 Days? This works and it’s free.

It all comes down to this…. how do you process your rejections? Change your framing on this — and it will change your life.

Matt Damon’s secret to creativity and growth…. This is big. “Don’t judge me on how bad my bad ideas are. Judge me on how good my good ideas are.” We need to give ourselves permission to try new things and swing big. It’s the only way we can discover new ground and push ourselves forward.

Drop a “yes” or an emoji in the comments if you agree…. These are the people that make life worth living.

Dr. Viktor Frankl knew that the dread you're feeling about "what am i doing with my life" is actually good for you. His book "Man's Search For Meaning" explains it perfectly.

This is a little trick to getting unstuck and creating more clarity for your life… on the spot. I’ve done this exercise with executives at Google, Disney, Bank of America, Nike, and more. It works because of how simple it is. And the results will speak for themselves.

This is what they won’t teach you in business school. And it’s what the world’s most successful people all have in common… It’s that “inner scorecard.”

Jane Goodall’s #1 insight to moving your mission or goals forward.... When she taught me this, it changed the way I approached everything in my life.

@kevinasrx That gave me chills to read. Thank you. And I’m rooting for you as you write your book!

@AlexBanayan seriously man, the way you told your story had me on the edge of my seat the entire read. It wasn't just a book on the lessons from the ultra successful or the Third Door, it was a book on resilience. Complete relentless determination to do something BIG and chase a passion that stems from a raging fire inside. This book was written for anyone that ALSO has that fire. If you dont have it, its still a good book about cool people and great stories, but if you DO have the fire, this book was an anthem, a manifesto, a blueprint and 101 course about STAYING IN THE FIGHT. I read 20 pages a day non-negotiable... but with this book I just kept going and couldnt stop. Truly man, i'm writing a book as we speak and if its even HALF as good as this one, I'd be stoked!

This list of 10 quotes are a perfect summary of years researching the mindset of success.

Have you heard of Qi Lu? If you haven’t here’s why.

During my conversation on Itay Segal’s podcast, he asked me if my son Ari knows what I do for a living… and the answer is - yes. Yes he does. And I couldn’t have said it better. 🥹
