Words I like: You can’t be normal and expect abnormal results. Normal inputs = normal outputs. Abnormal inputs = abnormal outputs. Minute Read: Embrace Your Weirdness Here's some numbers that'll change your perspective: • Only 1 in 1,000 Americans make over $1M per year. • 1 in 11,000 make over $10M. • 1 in 35,000 make over $20M. If you want those numbers, you must accept this truth: You're trying to be a statistical outlier. Picture this: To make $1M/yr, you need to outwork your entire high school graduating class. To make $10M/yr, you need to be the best person from every high school in your city combined. To make $20M+/yr, imagine a football stadium with 35,000 people and you have to outlast every single one of them. That means 999 out of 1,000 people won't understand your choices. Your work hours. Your sacrifices. Your obsessions. And that's exactly how it has to be. The moment you start apologizing for working weekends, skipping social events, or saying no to "normal" activities… you’re negotiating. You're not supposed to be relatable. You're supposed to be the 1 person willing to do what the other 99, 999, or 34,999 won't. And that’s why you get what the 999 don’t. Just a friendly reminder to be who you say you are and do what you came here to do.

Words I like: Hatred is just someone announcing that you don't match their preferences. Once you see it that way, it loses its teeth. Minute Read: Hate Translation You will get hate from strangers, family, acquaintances, and your current “friends” once you start living your life differently. That’s a fact. Not knowing how to deal with it can spiral you out of doing what you need to, to get where you wanna go. Here's my best tactic for dealing with hate: Translate everything into “They live their life according to their own preferences rather than mine." That's all hate really is. Someone stating you don't match their preferences. Watch how it works: - "You work too much" = "I prefer to work less" - "You're too direct (aggressive)" = "I prefer people who are passive" - "You charge too much" = "I prefer people who are cheaper" Once you see this pattern, hate loses its power. Because some people will hate you for doing stuff. Others will hate you for not doing stuff. Some will hate you for being yourself. Others will hate you for not being yourself enough. And so, that hatred and judgement is a fixed cost of success and life in general. You're going to get it either way. So you might as well do you and be yourself. At least then the hate is honest. Hate is only a strong word if you give it power and allow it to be.

Words I like: If you have a list of priorities, you only prove you have none. Minute Read: One Thing, All In How to be productive: Don’t do anything besides the task you set out to do. That’s literally it. Your day to day life or business probably has too many priorities. I can say that because we all have "prioritIES" plural. But it makes no sense. Priority comes from the word priori - which means first or coming before. Which means - there can only be one. It’s really hard to pick just one. But you have to. After all, if you can’t make the decision - how do you expect your team to? Ex: In late 2023, I decided to build an anonymous brand selling a CRM software I bought the rights to. I figured, if I do nothing else but this, everything else will get accomplished. That meant that I rerouted almost all my personal attention and resources towards making this happen. And it paid off. But it was hard because there were a lot of other things I wanted to do. So here’s the process: Look at your list of priorities. Cross out everything except the biggest one. The one that - if accomplished - makes everything else irrelevant. That means you take your list of five, and narrow it down to one. And there’s always one. If you can't pick, you're not prioritizing - you're waiting for circumstances to do the deciding for you. Real prioritization forces tradeoffs. It hurts. Good. That pain means you're doing it right. Ask yourself: "If all we did was this one thing, and it 2x-3x-5x’d our my progress, why would we care about doing anything else?" - that's your priority. Everything else is distraction dressed up as strategy. The fastest growing companies and brands obsess over one metric. And they think really hard about that metric. Pick one thing. Go all in. Forget the rest and watch the seas part as everyone knows exactly where you’re going and why. P.S: If you have a skool community, steal this post outline, works great for email marketing as well.
