The greatest trait you can acquire is to work with tremendous intensity on things that matter to you, and more importantly, be strangely unbothered when those things don't work out.

If you want a rare life, you have to be delusional. Doubt can enter your mind, and it can sound reasonable, but if you entertain it too much it will slowly drag you down into stagnation. I'd rather reap the lesson from massive failure than do nothing because it's not "realistic."

My brain can’t comprehend how a monkey and a penguin get more attention than an actual human baby, starving in the middle of a genocide. People in Gaza deserve to live too. No child deserves to be starved to death or shot in the head.

Men, Always have an exit strategy, - In dating - In marriage - In friendships - In EMPLOYMENT Don't attach your emotions. Hanging on relationships like a parasite is ONEITIS. Don't blindly cling to relationships, you will be disappointed. #MasculinitySaturday

Sales Lessons that I wish someone had told me at the Start 1. It's not about you 2. It's them vs them and you are the referee 3. If you let them talk they will sell themselves 4. If you talk you bore them 5. Make it about them, you will win more than you lose 6. Make it about you, you will lose more than you win 7. Ask expansive questions "tell me about that?" 8. The discovery part of the call is for them to discover about themselves, not for you 9. You don't have to be an extrovert to make it in sales 10. Introverts often make the best sales guys (listeners) 11. You can't outsell a bad offer 12. It's better to be a bad sales guy on an amazing offer 13. You don't have to be sleezy, honest guys make more money in long run 14. If a prospect asks questions mid-call, tell them you will get to it later for them and bring the focus back, questions allow them to take control of the call and ruin the flow 15. When you price drop you are not "begging for money" it's them vs them, they have told you they want this for 20–60 minutes, the pressure is on them 16. Objections are not real, they are a smoke screen for a different problem (they don't really want a proposal) 17. In objections your only job is to get the truth 18. Whoever is justifying themselves is losing the negotiation 19. Call out potential red flags early as they will come up again after price drop e.g. things that will disqualify them of make them say no 20. You don't have to be a suck up, nobody likes or respects a suck up 21. Find their reason why or their "F it" moment (something that makes now the right time) 22. Get the cost of inaction to make your price look cheap 23. After dropping the price - Shut Up 24. Be prepared to walk away 25. The client is often wrong (yes not always right) just because they want something doesn't mean you have to say yes to it 26. You get more respect by telling the prospect the harsh truth than you do sucking up to them or lying 27. They should talk 80% of the call, you 20% 28. Use negativity to get positivity - e.g. Considering you have no time do you really fell this is a good time to start X thing? They will say "yes because..." 29. If you are pushy they will pull back 30. If you pull away they will pull into your frame 31. Health, Wealth and Relationships are usually the best niches 32. The most simple offer is the easiest close (no moving parts) More moving parts = confusion/more time needed to make a decision 33. When you are up don't think you are the best, when you are down don't think you are the worst 34. Boring basics and fundamentals over slick tricks 35. Only care about the best outcome for the prospect 36. Never take it personally 37. Sell outcomes, not features and processes (boring) 38. Sell the final destination not the journey there 39. Never engage in small talk (ruins call makes you look fake) 40. Keep the call sales focused, always bring the conversation back to getting a qualification or disqualification

One of the most profound behavior changes I've had as an entrepreneur, which was against my nature, was to stop seeking out opportunities when I still had problems I needed to fix within my business. You have to switch from shiny object syndrome to golden BB obsession. Fixing a hundred small things is more boring but creates the outsized outcomes the shiny object syndrome promises but never delivers.

You don’t belong anywhere. The concept of belonging is a transaction. You give up parts of yourself in exchange for proximity to people who tolerate the version you’re performing. And the longer you perform, the further you get from anything real. Most people spend their entire lives auditioning. For circles that were never built with them in mind. And you mistake acceptance for belonging. Those are two very different things. Acceptance is conditional. It expires the moment you stop being useful or agreeable. You belong where you allow yourself to be. Where your presence isn’t negotiated. Where you don’t calculate what to say before you say it. That place doesn’t exist until you build it. Stop trying to be part of something. Being part of something means you’re a component. A replaceable unit inside a structure someone else designed. And replaceable units don’t feel alive. They function. There’s a massive difference between functioning and living. Be the thing. Be the structure. Be the reason the room has a direction. Be so locked into your own trajectory that the question of where you fit becomes irrelevant because you’re too busy building to ask it. I wasted years trying to exist inside spaces that weren’t mine. The moment I stopped looking for a seat at someone else’s table, everything changed. Energy came back. Clarity came back. Purpose came back. You were never meant to find where you belong. You were meant to make it​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.

You don't realise just how damaging the advice "You have time" is Until you meet the older Men who fell for it.

This is my ultimate signal to noise filter (it's written on my whiteboard above my computer screen): Whenever someone brings me a problem... 1) What does that mean? 2) How do you know that 3) Why does it matter? Logic - Evidence - Utility.

Work so hard you become every teacher’s top student. Work so hard you make a losing strategy a winning strategy. Work so hard, the people who helped you claim your success, because it’s bigger than their own. Violence is the answer.

No amount of regret will fix the past. Neither will it make the future better. There is just no rational reason to have any regrets. Learn your lessons and move the fuck on. Stop dwelling on what is not anymore and start building what is not yet. Stop looking back. Focus.

You will regret not being angry enough.

Naval Ravikant: "You're going to die. It's all going to zero. What's there to stress about?" "Stress is when your mind has two conflicting desires at once. You want to be liked, but you want to do something selfish. You don't want to go to work, but you want to make money. You have two conflicting desires, and that's stress." Naval explains the difference between stress and anxiety: "Anxiety is this pervasive, unidentifiable stress where you're stressed out all the time and you're not even sure why. The reason is you have so many unresolved problems that have piled up in your life, you can no longer identify what the problems are. There's this mountain of garbage in your mind. A little bit is poking out the top like an iceberg; that's anxiety. But underneath, there's a lot of unresolved things." He shares his personal anxiety resolver: "One big anxiety resolver for me is just ruminating on death. You're going to die. It's all going to zero. You cannot take anything with you. If you can keep that idea in front of you at all times, what's there to stress about?" Naval reframes what "wasted time" really means: "What is wasted time? Everything is wasted time in a sense because nothing matters in the ultimate. But in each moment, it's the only thing that matters. So if you're doing something you want to do and you're fully there for it it's not wasted time. If your mind is running away, wishing you were somewhere else, anticipating the future, regretting the past, that's wasted time. That's time you're not present for." He concludes: "People get worried about dying and no longer being here. But they don't realize that so much of their life is spent not being here in any case."

The world is not FAIR. The fairness trap is a mental prison created by the weak to shackle the strong. The world is not fair. It works on the laws of PHYSICS and BIOLOGY. The lion doesn't care about the life of a gazelle; it just eats the gazelle. So, is the world fair? No. It is not. You are waiting for a referee to step into the game and award you a penalty. He doesn't exist in this game called life. There is no referee, there is only VALUE. If you don't create VALUE, you deserve nothing, and nobody will save you. If you solve a big problem in a few minutes and get paid big, don't sabotage yourself by judging yourself for earning big in a few minutes. You have solved a big problem in 5 minutes, and therefore, you are being paid for spending 5 years learning how to solve it in 5 minutes. Kill the judge in your head. Don't judge yourself. Be shameless in the execution of your skills. Is the world fair? No. It is cold and indifferent. It doesn't care. Is the hiring process fair? No. Therefore, bypass the hiring process by networking and marketing your value. Is the game rigged? Yes. So, why play the game of losers? Men don't play by the rules. They trade their money for assets. Are politicians fair? No. They will never be fair. Therefore, exploit the loopholes they created for themselves and build your leverage alongside them. You can choose to complain, or you can choose to step into the ring and become a man of value. You can continue complaining about fairness or go coldly and shamelessly for the crown lying at the edge of the abyss. You can continue feeling and prioritizing your fragile emotions or you can start engaging your logic and think. As others whine, you build tools to leverage your value. You are either the Prince or the Peasant. The enemy is not poverty, The enemy is the void in your head that you have refused to conquer. Your enemy is the battlefield sitting between your ears. The choice is yours. #BetterTogether

In victory, Embrace it with humility. In loss, Embrace it with grace. Victory and loss are part of life. They are temporary, so don't let your fleeting emotions override them. #ManDay

Talking is cheap. Arguing behind a keyboard is easy. But tell them that it is now time to put the talk into action, and they all disappear into their cocoons. Discipline & consistency are not easy, that is why the indisciplined insult those who are disciplined. #FoodFriday

Having coached 100s of people from $0 - up to 20/30/40/50/60k a month One common thing I see is self sabotage Most think that if they fail it will be something outside of their control when in reality it is themselves, they are their own biggest worst enemy In my experience there are 3 kinds of self sabotagers The "Beginner" Sabotager - This guy will procrastinate himself out of success, start next week, quit before he starts, often without doing any real work they will claim the new thing "doesn't work because of X, Y and Z" and they will be onto the next thing The "Nearly There" Sabotager - This guy will get himself 10 yards from the finish line and then find a reason to stop himself before completing it, he will go around in circles, give excuses to why he can't complete it and will go around and around until the opportunity vanishes The "Made it" Sabotager - This guy will actually make it and even graduate with flying colors, but once on the other side of success they will freak out, they will tell themselves they don't deserve it and it shouldn't be them and they will manifest their own downfall, they will often spend all the money, pick up bad habits and stop doing all the activities that got themselves to the top of the mountain The most important thing to do if you are a "self sabotager" is to first identify which one you are and understand exactly how fix it The Beginner sabotager - Here you should first do the smallest steps imaginable, start with 1 minute if needs be and build a few minutes of work per day, also put yourself in a situation where you have to start, use the pain from your current situation as rocket fuel to start e.g. a horrible boss, doubters etc The Nearly There Sabotager - Set a strict date to finish, even if it sucks and you are not happy with it, it will be finished by said date, make commitments that will obligate you to finish what you started The "Made It" Sabotager - Pretend that you don't have the end goal, imagine you are striving for it still, use your new income/success to level up your network with individuals who are doing the same and more than you, this way you will know that it wasn't a fluke and you do deserve it Always remember that very rarely is it "outside forces" that stop us from achieving things, very few of us have actual enemies working around the clock to stop us It is usually you vs you Once you understand this you can learn how to get out of your own way

A rich man digs for gold A poor man complains about the price of the shovel, claims that "digging for gold won't work", they heard it was a scam and also overly saturated with too many people doing it

“To be happy you must eliminate two things: The fear of a bad future and The memory of a bad past.” - Seneca

I respect a man that fails frequently more than a man that never ventures to fail.
