You're only as good As the last excuse you made

Stop saying “I don’t have time”

That’s a lie

Start Saying “that’s not a priority”

That’s the truth

The next time you decide you don't have enough time for something

Think about what you're really saying

"My (Health/Finances/Education, etc.) isn't a priority"

"I'll say it's worth it, I won't say it's fair"

Someone Needs to hear this Today

There is no such thing as communism or socialism. Only the removal of freedom.

Unpopular Opinion:

Drug Dealers know more about running a business than 95% of college business professors.

From preschool to the day you retire you are given directions consistency by people who have an agenda to push

You are bred to follow directions & to not question authority

Life changes when you stop looking for permission and approval

The sooner, the better

As soon as you internalize the belief that profit is evil

You are fucked

That shit is some propaganda envious people have sold you to keep you poor

If PROFIT is evil, then so is your PAYCHECK.
This is juvenile, ignorant and petulant thinking.

Don’t tell me there’s no beauty in the world.

Beauty is everywhere, you’ve just become immune to it.

When you dilute the currency, you dilute the character of the people

Imagine being born into one of the most prosperous, safest, most powerful nations to ever exist in the history of human existence.

In the most technologically advanced time period ever.

Where all your minimum material needs can basically be met.

And bitching about opportunity.

We need to teach our kids to have a rich inner life over a rich outer life

How do we do this?

#1 harmful lesson taught in school

Allow strangers and experts to define your self-worth

This is how they create sheep who can be swayed by the opinion of experts and celebrities

Talk Principles with your children...

• at the dinner table
• in the car
• in the backyard
• during encouragement
• during correction

Teach them to value the Intrinsic over the Extrinsic.

And WALK THE TALK.

There is something even more valuable to civilization than wisdom, and that is character #Mencken

If you believe that any group of people can't be racist, you're an idiot.

Most people don’t give a shit about you.

Your failures and successes may provide a temporary source of entertainment, but beyond that, they have their own issues to worry about.

They’ll forget about you just as quickly as they laughed at you.

There are no coincidences

Knocking off a bunch of small, but necessary items from your to-do list feels great.

But it doesn't REALLY move the needle.

What does? Your high-ROI activities:

• Pitching clients
• Creating ad campaigns
• Creating new offers
• Market research

There is a reason why I enjoy pushing myself into challenging tasks.

Although I grew up poor and without many opportunities, I also intuitively understood that life rewards those who can solve difficult problems.

You don’t lose in defeat; you only learn and adapt.

The only way for that to happen is to occasionally take on challenges that are beyond your ability.

Alcohol is an acceptable poison in our society.

We've normalized and glamorized heavy consumption--then act shocked when the negative consequences bite us in the ass.

Stop thinking in terms of building a network. Just get good at something.

People like hanging around people who aren't losers. It's really that simple.

F--- networking.

Make honey, the bees will follow.

Crack

The one drug that does you instead.

If a woman flakes on you, then good.

More free time to work on your business, go to the gym, practice your craft.

Being in good shape at 19 is not impressive.

You have to screw up pretty badly to not be in decent shape at that age - Fitness gives you no unique edge.

At 40+, being fit is a massive status symbol.

Don't dumb it down but don't make it convoluted either.

Communication should be as simple as possible, but no simpler than that.

Stay Safe. Stay Comfy. Suppress your Real Passions.....

And very Soon you will :

Get Depressed
Become Overweight
Lose Confidence
Lose Ambition
Lose Energy
Get Sick

Not a Way to go Through Life.

You know what you have to do.

The tools available for tactical execution may change as the world does, but the strategic ideas remain forever the same.

Challenges develop character.
Extremes reveal it.

Motivation is a myth. You either want it or you don't.

Now finding the most efficient route...THAT'S the challenge!

LIFE HACK:

Ladies & Gentlemen,

When You’re REALLY Good,

They CAN’T Say No.

HONE YOUR CRAFT.

My favorite line from Infinity Wars is when Thanos got all five stones and was like "Finally. I can say it", then called Black Panther the n-word.

Anyone can whine about a problem, but few actually do anything to rectify the situation.

People go to Facebook to complain about life and people rarely call them on it.

That same weak behavior on Twitter will get you roasted so hard you'll be questioning your life choices.

Facebook is where you get coddled

Twitter is where you get challenged

Actually, Facebook is where you turn real life friends into enemies.

Twitter is where you make new friends and new enemies.

Discipline doesn't come in a pill.

Dang.

But occasionally, it does come from a rock.

"A solution can be found only when you make the psychological transition from “I’m doomed!” to “I must fix this!”"

Some solutions are Timeless. Others are temporary.

Ideally, thinking and acting are never seperated.

In reality, they rarely ever meet.
