I wrote a second book. A short and philosophical take on money and discovering your life's work. I made it free because this is one of those things I just want in as many hands as possible. The paperback is not free for clear reasons. Links below to read:

How to figure out what you want:. 1) Make a guess at what you want. 2) Do everything in your power to achieve it. 3) Realize that everything you did was just a prototype. 4) Start over with more clarity on what you want. Then repeat steps 2 through 4. Probably for the rest of.

It's painful to watch young people treat youth as a currency rather than investment capital. The time, energy, and focus you have when you're young are extremely valuable and disappear fast. You're forming habits that will come back and hit you like a truck when you turn 30.

Be careful listening to anyone who doesn’t have the life you want. Those people are rare. 1% of the population. The other 99% will blabber about how you should live your life when they’ve wasted their own. I'm sure they're kind people, but they have no idea what's best for you.

The best way to make the most of your 20s is to make them your worst. Because if we're being honest, most people hit a small peak and then repeat the same 6 months over and over again. Here are 3 things to avoid and 3 things to do:.

Your mind expands to fill the goals set for achievement.

You're going to miss out on 99% of the experiences life has to offer. That's just how it is. In other words, you're not missing out on anything by focusing on a few important things.

There is always more that can be done. Lost people can't figure out what to do. Drained people try to do it all. Happy people choose a few things they deeply care about and dedicate the entirety of their mental, physical, and financial energy toward that.

Life is hard because you don't know what you want. That's 90% of the battle. Once you have extreme clarity on what you want, after 5-10 calculated risks, everything else is quite simple. If you can reach that before you turn 25, you're in the top 1%.

You need to believe you are better than most people. Not because you’re superior to them, but because what most people create isn’t that good. If you don’t believe that you can create something at least slightly better than what is already out there – the product, the app, the.

Why do people who wasted their life always have the most to say about how you should live yours.

It's cliche at this point, so many people neglect it, but the best thing you can do if you don't have the life you want is to disappear for 6 months. Extreme focus. 4 habits. Mind, body, spirit, business:.

You're always tired because you don't have a purpose, or your purpose is to complete some meaningless set of tasks that lead to a paycheck. You can sleep for 8 hours and cut out every food imaginable, but if you don't have a life trajectory you deeply care about, you will never.

Your life is determined by a series of 10-12 bold decisions to shift the trajectory you were given by your parents and teachers. If you don’t, you stall out. You wake up 10 years later wondering why your life got worse even though you’ve done everything you were told to do.

The best decisions you will make are the ones that everyone else will say are stupid, risky, or crazy. And they’re right. To normal people, they are, but that’s exactly why you’re doing it. You deeply understand that it’s the only way to never end up like them.

Every morning is a chance to choose what you suffer for. I wrote about this in depth. Read my last letter here:

There is no better place to be than under an immense amount of pressure from a challenge that you chose to take on.

Not for everyone, but the reason my business grew is because I made "stupid" decisions that forced me to make it work. I moved into a place 2x what I could afford so I had to make more. I got rid of everything and moved to a new state for the same reason. I've become very good at.
