habits so simple you think theyre not worth doing, but have a serious impact on your life: - not checking your phone for the first 30 minutes of the day - ending every call with a clear next step - saying no by default and yes only after thinking it through - reviewing your numbers every monday before the week starts - eating one meal without a screen in front of you

please get addicted to thinking you can build anything and being delusional about whats possible for your life

most ppl are unclear about what they want, then wonder why theyre not getting anywhere

discipline is the gap between where you are and where you want to be

the only way to build anything real is to be delusional enough to start and obsessed enough to continue

founder burnout is what happens when you optimize for revenue and forget to optimize for a reason

the only way to lose is by giving up

life if you bet on yourself

your lack of optimism is killing your results, your opportunities, and everything you're capable its time to be delusional and start moving like the outcome already happened

ten bad investments can be erased by two great ones

millennials: 'i climbed the corporate ladder for 15 years and they replaced me with AI' gen z: 'cool, we're not doing that'

pattern recognition only prints when it moves past noticing what's happening and into understanding why its happening anyone can spot a trend, the skill is knowing what to do next

execution is becoming the rarest skill on the planet. ideas, capital, connections don’t matter if you cant sit down and build

constant complaining is literally rewiring your brain to find more things to complain about flip it start noticing what's working, what you have, what went right today do it enough times and your brain starts doing it on its own

them: whats the goal? me: whatever this is

the most confident ppl you know didn't start that way they just have more reps of doing it

consuming content is the most socially acceptable way to waste a life most people will die having consumed everything and built nothing

stop outsourcing your decisions if you need someone to tell you what to do next, the outcome of your life will always be in someone else's hands

life after choosing proximity over comfort, betting on yourself before anyone else did, and deciding that delusional optimism was a feature not a flaw:

your environment works against you until you design it around the person you're trying to become
