@matt_gray_ Merry Christmas Matt.

97% of success is systems.

A video of Serbian family celebrating the feast of St. Nicholas went viral on Instagram, but sadly it’s because many Americans mocked them for having simple food and humble circumstances. Respect for their faith and resilience. God bless and help this family. 🇷🇸☦️

the act of creation is the only thing that justifies existence

@jaydyer The highest tier people I know don’t have any platforms.

What high tier person do you want to see me debate and on what topic - this is for a massive platform?

@sweatystartup John.

About to read the bible for the first time. Where should I start?

Thank you @SPressfield

Your goal is to build a team so great that if you were to leave the company, you could not get your job back (even if you wanted to)

@paradisemint You’re the best for posting so openly about your portfolio. Are you open to advising / consulting?

Let’s do our weekly update on annual projected income. We are up another 19K over last week. I expect this to take a huge jump next week once all the roundhill dividend increases update. Doe is take a lot of time to manage a portfolio like this? NO! I do all my own research which is about 15-30 minutes a day and I do my reinvests and a buy or sell here and there. I do not go as aggressive as some of my friend on here do. I don’t want to have to spend my days researching the market. Ask me any question. I try to respond to as many as I can. I do not just post my entire portfolio at once. If you follow me I post all my dividends and buys, so it is easy to see what I am doing. I do not answer questions on taxes. I can’t give you advice, just watch what I am doing and do your own research and decide if it is right for you.

There’s a population of talented creatives who are unheard of because they understand things past the confidence threshold (after which the more you know the more you realize you don’t know about it) so the only people talking and writing about a subject are the loud, confident, commercially driven individuals who only know half (or less) about the thing. It’s not that the lightning-in-a-bottle creative doesn’t want to make money or are too bohemian, edgy, or dumb to figure out a way to do so, it’s that they know that the thing their talent is geared towards, in its entirety, is so grand and beautiful that to try to put any of it into human language feels impossible, and to dumb it down or democratize it in anyway feels blasphemous. It’s not that they believe capitalism is bad or whatever but because any attempt to put what they understand into a marketable, public, perceivable form hurts their soul knowing it won’t be even damn close to the truth

@aymanalabdul Yes.

The biggest mistake 7-figure founders make: Thinking “Founder” = “CEO” I learned this the hard way scaling AppSumo from $3M to $84M Here are the 4 founder habits I needed to kill to become an 8-figure CEO:

15 minutes of daily meditation creates more synchronicities than 15 hours of hustling. connect to God, then act from alignment.

Nobody who’s actually good at making money needs to sell you a course on it.
