Most young men are losing the game before it even starts. Nobody taught them how to build money, take care of their body, or build real relationships. I’m fixing that. Here’s what this account is about 🧵

@AlexHormozi This hit different once I started trading. Every position I held onto out of comfort was a no I should’ve said to something better.

You don't have what you want because you're unwilling to say no to things you want less.

@_falsi1ke Respect or compliance? They’re not the same thing. Money buys deference fast, it just doesn’t buy the real kind without something behind it.

People respect you more when you have have money, even your parents too. Focus on making money, everything else is a distraction.

@DearS_o_n Handling it is one thing. Not letting it slow you down is the actual test most people fail.

BREAKING NEWS: If you can not handle people hating on you for nothing, then you're not ready for success.

@_falsi1ke True, but that risk is exactly why it matters. Anything that can’t disappear on you was never worth that much to begin with.

Relationships are scary. No matter how good things are going or how in love you are, your partner could just lose feelings for you and be gone just like that.

Most people don’t lack discipline. They lack a reason strong enough to need it.

@AlexHormozi Fewer goals, but the right kind. One real priority beats five vague ones every time.

The best way to accomplish your goals: Have fewer of them

@AlexHormozi True, but most people do the opposite. They care more about strangers’ opinions than the people actually in their corner. Backwards priorities, basically.

If you don’t care about someone, you probably shouldn’t care about their opinion of you either.

@DearS_o_n This is exactly why I’m leaving for London for uni instead of staying somewhere comfortable. Environment sets the ceiling before talent even gets a chance to matter.

WARNING: Your environment can 100% ruin your potential. Leave that small town before it kills all your dream.

@_falsi1ke This is real. A lot of guys never admit they’re overwhelmed because looking fine became the whole strategy. Doesn’t fix anything, just delays the conversation.

Nobody talks about it, but a lot of young men are depressed. Not from partying. Not from dating. But from carrying responsibilities they aren’t ready for but can’t escape. May God give strength to every man silently trying to hold it all together.

@DearS_o_n Most people chase #1 their whole life and don’t notice they’re trading away #3 and #4 to get it. By the time they have the money, they don’t have the time or health left to enjoy it.

Dear son, There are 4 types of wealth: - Financial wealth - money. - Social wealth - status. - Time wealth - freedom. - Physical wealth - health. Be cautious of jobs that offer you 1 and 2 but rob you of 3 and 4.

@_falsi1ke Careful with this one. Some people starved with you because they never wanted more for themselves. Don’t confuse history with alignment.

When you get money, eat with those who starved with you. Never forget who has been with you from the start.

Most people don’t actually want loyalty. They want control disguised as loyalty. Learn the difference early.

@_falsi1ke This is the real test of character. Anyone can be loyal when things are good, integrity shows up when you have leverage and choose not to use it.

No matter how angry you are at someone, never expose their problems or secrets they shared with you. It says a lot about you.

@SahilBloom The hardest part isn’t slowing down, it’s tolerating how it looks to people who are still rushing. Pressure to keep pace is real.

Major cheat code for life: Become difficult to rush. The world will pressure you to rush into everything. Rushed decisions. Rushed conversations. Rushed relationships. Rushed timelines. There's immense power in rejecting that trend. Slow down. Create space to think clearly.

@_falsi1ke Quality filters itself once you stop optimizing for headcount.

I don't have a lot of friends and I'm okay with that. Nowadays friends do the same things enemies do. Having few friends is okay.

@_falsi1ke Felt this firsthand. Same effort, completely different results depending on who’s around you. Environment isn’t a detail, it’s a multiplier.

No matter how gifted you are, the wrong environment will make you feel invisible. Your surroundings determine whether your talent shines or stays hidden.

@thejustinwelsh Or how well you’ve served the right people. Plenty of guys serve a lot of others and still stay broke, the targeting matters as much as the effort.

Your bank account is a report card on how well you've served others.

@_falsi1ke And the only one whose advice you ignored the most growing up. Funny how that works.

The older you get, the more you realize your mom is your only real friend. She’s the only one who wanna see you do better than her.

@DearS_o_n Maturity is realizing your father was figuring it out the same way you are now, just without anyone to tell him that.

The smarter you get as a man, the more you treat your father with respect and forgive that man for everything.

@_falsi1ke Movement helps more than people give it credit for. On the worst days, just getting to the gym changes something, even before the workout starts.

How do you handle depression?
