i am already a billionaire. i'm just waiting for the rest of the world to catch up see it for themselves.

@moneyspacers of course

@Thabang post more dog

one thing the last three years has taught me is no matter how low life can go or how hard you can get punched. if you keep moving and refuse to look back at your past, you’ll surely win. the path only carves itself out when you walk forward. the hardest part is not looking back and asking “what if”, “if only” or “let me try that again”. the most detrimental thing anyone seeking ascension can do is to veer back and catch a glimpse of the good old times. doesn’t matter if it was a job, business, relationship or event. the past always has a facade layered on top of it. by definition it is veiled with rose tinted glasses, always appetising to those who fear the unknown of the future. people who constantly lose are labelled as those who “get in their own way” because they keep tripping themselves up by walking forward whilst looking back. entangled feet cannot carve a path, they stay stagnant. “a moving man, will surely meet his luck”. only if he does not look back and say “what if”.

@dawsonecom audit but don’t fixate.

@Thabang If you never audit the exact step that broke you, you will keep 'moving forward' straight into the same wall with better motivation. no looking back for comfort, only for receipts!

@systematicls in your words, @thebeautyofsaas: “never bet against degeneracy”. worth a read, distills that statement perfectly.

@thebrianmoncada brian, how are you finding the crime and language barrier, i assume you speak spanish and crime is negligible if quality of life has improved?

I used to pay $7,500/month just for rent in Miami. Now we pay $7,500/month to live like a king in Medellin. -Nanny -Chef -Boxing 3x/week -Pilates for my wife -Classes for our daughter -Studio to film content and do podcasts -Walkable city & we uber everywhere Quality of life>

@thebeautyofsaas have been taking time to enjoy the fruits of my hard work & cultivating more experiences in order to come back with the bangers you know and love. hope you are fine and winning as always!

@Thabang Have not seen you in ages around here Hope everything is good and that you are getting back soon…

the reason you have not become a pro (or found what you love) in any topic yet is that for your whole life you didn't do anything out of your own will and self-interest but only followed the plans and the rules outlined by those who you thought knew better than you…

@pipelineabuser i’ve been great my friend. enjoying beautiful women, the fruits of hard work and becoming one with the trenches. hoping the same for yourself?

@Thabang hi sir how u been? long time :)

the only consistently proven path to success is being completely delusional about your own abilities and refusing to let reality update your priors until the universe eventually gives up and lets you win. every founder who made it was told they were crazy. every artist who broke through was "unrealistic." every person who built something from nothing had friends and family genuinely concerned about their mental state. the "rational" people who "knew their limits" and "had realistic expectations" are all working for the delusional ones now. you literally cannot achieve anything extraordinary while maintaining an accurate assessment of your odds. the math never works. the market is always saturated. someone more qualified is always already doing it. if you actually internalized the statistics you would never start anything. success selection bias means we only hear from the delusion that worked out. but here's the thing - the cautious realistic people didn't make it either. they just failed quietly at things they didn't care about instead of loudly at things they loved. fake it till you make it isn't a hack. it's the whole game. you act like the person you want to become until your skills catch up to your confidence. there is no other way. the gap between who you are and who you're pretending to be is called growth. stay delusional.

@coldemailchris congrats, children are a blessing.

Both my baby twins are finally home from the NICU Have to master the art of dual wielding now God is good!

@RuizPropaganda @vascoabm 3 full time dedicated humans and making $10k pm? alright, put the fries in the bag man

@thabang @vascoabm having 3 mfs at the top and still making $10k pmo is embarrassing

what a $10K/mo SaaS really looks like: $10K revenue - $1K Stripe fees = $9K net - $3K costs ÷ 2 co-founders = $3K each - taxes = $500 - food, rent, car payments, some other bs = -$2,000/mo your favorite "$10K/mo founder" would be richer working at Deloitte

@proxy_vector exactly, post-delivery is where the majority of value is created.

exactly. AI is a feature not a moat everyone i know who tried to sell "AI automation" hit the same wall - businesses dont care about the tech, they care about ongoing results once the novelty wears off and they realize they still need someone to manage/optimize it, suddenly your one-time delivery model falls apart

@forexsak exactly, easiest way to measure value is through retention.

@thabang this, also applying this to the creative industry should also tell you enough(recent coca cola shithousery). it dosent have that 'control' factor till now lol. ultimately its about 'who' youre serving that service with and if that outcome is good enough that they come again

@isku_ai a lot of value to be extracted for sure. many propped up valuations and easy product adoption when leveraging pre-existing market hype.

@thabang There’s too many opportunities in AI to sell it to businesses. Money is literally flowing on “potential”. Just play the game, act the part and leave with your chips (investors money).

@CardinalMason may his soul rest in peace.

We lost one of the greats tonight. Genuinely the most magnetic, talented, charming guy I’ve ever met in my life. Changed thousands of lives in person and online. Nobody in this circle would be who they are without him. One of one. Long Live Ben Bader. Love you brother.

don’t think there’s an age. it’s more of a build up. you stack enough lies and facades & experience the constant loss around you. you fail to pinpoint why you never breakthrough with anything that you do and eventually - after you’ve pointed fingers at everyone else - you begin to point fingers at the source, yourself. you get here once you’re fed up with losing and want to win & the only person left to blame is yourself.

@thabang what age do most realise this you think?

the worst day of your life won’t be the day you get your heart broken or lose millions. it’ll be the day you realise that you were lying to yourself this entire time. you made things harder for yourself for no reason. you squandered money and opportunities for nothing. you realise the self sabotaging behaviours you had and try to untangle it all. you look back at once in a lifetime opportunities that you fumbled and wish you could “run it back”. you remember sums of untold money that you wasted and it aches. it’s like an awakening or rebirth. less esoteric, more pragmatic. i’ve seen this happen to those around me making millions and those around me stuck in a cycle of loss. the key when you get here is to stop dwelling on what could have been and what you’ve missed out on. all you can do is look at where you are now and vow to never be the reason why you lose again. if you lose, let it be because of factors outside of yourself. never let it be you. this happened to me once. i woke up and felt as though years of my life were lived as a fraud and it broke me. i questioned every belief i had about myself for months. until i decided to stop dwelling and start winning. i haven’t looked back since. each time i find myself falling down that path of self imposed loss, i catch myself. i remind myself of the consequences and what i risk in the process. once you learn to overcome your self sabotaging loser behaviours and live in congruence with your beliefs you’ll learn that the worst day of your life was equally the best day of your life.

@areteric bigger & better.
