I’ve been saying this for the past decade... 100% agreed.
The school system is one of the most outdated & inefficient aspects of society today.
As all other things, evolution & natural selection will take its course.

A stocks portfolio hedged with hard assets such as real estate are both necessary for long term investing success!
And absolutely, becoming an entrepreneur / business owner is the FASTEST way to accumulate the initial money needed to start your investing journey.

He spoke on that this past weekend! It was great hearing from two living legends. Unfortunate that they’re under appreciated, at least in my opinion.
A practical piece of advice for sales professionals and entrepreneurs; always tie your sales and business targets to your personal goals.
Your personal goals are more meaningful, drive you to work harder, and excite you to accomplish them in a shorter timeframe.
Do you have

: Out-Work
Self-explanatory, you have to be willing to outwork everyone in your field.
Don’t work “just enough”, always do more than what is required. Period.
@theRealKiyosaki
It’s unfortunate times, yet these are also the most OPPORTUNE times if you know how to leverage the right things.
You can look at it 2 ways, and eitherway, you will be right.
Choose to look at it as an opportunity.
Here’s a powerful lesson I learned from Charlie Munger that I apply to business and life.
Invert your thinking to help you make better decisions.
“I don’t try to be smart, I just try not to be stupid.” -Charlie Munger
The problem isn’t a shortage of time, it’s a shortage of discipline.
We all have the same 24 hours, which is plenty of time to accomplish our goals.
Invest your time wisely.

If there’s anyone I would like to see beat Khabib, it’s Gaethje. Amazing human being and fighter.
That being said, Khabib is the GOAT and he’s come too far to lose now.
29-0, no doubt.

: Out-Improve
There is no finish line, life is about constant improvement and constant progress in the direction of your goals.
Evolution is literally the concept of progression over a very long period of time, which is how you are here today.
1% better each day.
I’m a big believer in batching similar work together to maximize productivity.
It allows you to get more done in less time, and produce higher quality work due to the repetitions within a compressed timeframe.
Is there a process that works for you?
A successful day repeated 7x makes a successful week, repeated 4x makes a successful month, repeated 12x makes a successful year, repeated 10x makes a successful DECADE.
Life is won 1 day at a time.
MACRO VISION, MICRO ACTIONS.

: Out-Last
This one is the most simple, yet the hardest.
Most people quit, they’re all talk and no action. That’s bad news for most, but good news for you.
Don’t talk about it, BE about it. And be about it over the long term.
That’s a sure way to win.
Consistency is the ultimate equalizer.
“If you soldier through, you can get through almost anything. You can cry allright, but you can’t quit.” -Charlie Munger
Consistency in thoughts and in actions.
Amateur salespeople leave inconceivable amounts of money on the table, and do a disservice to their prospects.
Raise yourself to the level of the professionals to help yourself and others.
Balance is a myth.
The key is ELIMINATE, not add.
Take out any activity that is not in alignment with your goals.
Then, prioritize your time on the few things that remain.
We all have the same 24 hours, but it seems like the successful have more time.
This is why.
Every journey of success has two parts; achievement and transformation.
We always tend to start our journey in search of achievements and rewards.
Until we learn that the true reward has been our transformation, or who we have become in the process.
Becoming > achieving
One way to do more in your life is to use the weekends to get ahead.
Most people take the weekends off, relax, drink, etc...
While a few still wake up early, still put in the work, and sharpen their axe...
When Monday comes, who wins?
Wishing you an amazing Saturday ☀️
“We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them.”
-Epictetus
In the chaotic world that we live in today we have no control over what happens externally, but what we can control is how we react to our circumstances.

: Out-Strategize
The working hard vs working smart debate is only relevant if you’re playing the game of life and business on a smaller scale.
For the greats, BOTH are necessary.
Have a strategy (work smart), execute your strategy (work hard).
Play the long game!
Who you are today is the sum of all your HABITS.
Get your thinking right, then get your habits right, and the results will show up.
There is no secret.
Here are the 3 requirements for success in any area of life.
1. Information
2. Network
3. Execution
Prioritize each one individually, and apply them collectively.
