you should stop chasing butterflies
plant a garden so they come to you this
applies to most things in your life
and speaking of friends stop hanging out
with losers unless you want to be one
yourself you are the average of The Five
People You spend most of your time with
so choose them carefully you can't
change the people around you but you can
change the people around you don't worry
about having a lot of friends you really
only need one or two
stop taking advice from people less
successful than you unless you're
listening to learn what not to do the
knowledge they don't teach in schools is
the source of money for those who are
unemployable
try to never be the smartest person in a
room this rule applies to everything in
life unless you're a teacher or trying
to con the people in the room
a sinking ship can save no one if you
want to live a life that matters start
with yourself
stop pointing fingers and assume blame
for everything that happens in your life
this moves responsibility onto yourself
now get better
be as brutally honest as you can be at
least with yourself and try with others
every lie you tell incurs a debt to the
truth the more you lie the more in debt
you'll be and your life will come to
collect
your life is boring because you are
boring stop waiting for other people to
come into your life and fix your reality
nobody is coming to save you so you have
to save yourself
you solve boredom by being curious find
a way to monetize the things that you
can't wait to do in your spare time and
the world becomes your playground
if you're lacking purpose know that the
purpose is to grow growing allows you to
understand see enjoy and explore even
more
and speaking of purpose take care of
yourself once you figure yourself out
take care of your inner circle once
that's done expand into your local
community now you have a purpose go
execute it
Define a big goal for your life make it
explicit it'll serve as your North Star
write it down in detail on a piece of
paper and look at it every once in a
while to remind yourself why you're
doing all of this people who write down
goals are 40 more likely to achieve them
once you figure yourself out stay in
your lane and leave them be they'll talk
they'll try to distract you you're not
competing with them you're competing
with poverty and who you were yesterday
seek progress not perfection
the worst position to find yourself in
is no time and no money the person who
has time can always choose to trade it
for money once you have money you can
begin choosing to trade it for time
learn this Arbitrage and you'll win at
life
better is greater than more is greater
than new shiny objects are all around
you these are the Trap Society sets for
you to get you to stop what you're doing
there are no shortcuts to any place
worth going focus on doing what you do
and do it consistently better it takes
ten thousand hours to master anything
see where this road leads before you
move on to a new one
as long as you live remember the only
free cheese is in the mouse trap
success boils down to just doing the
obvious thing for uncommonly long
periods of time
be careful of unearned money or
knowledge there's usually a price to pay
you should win at life no matter if you
get lucky or not no reason to play the
lotto the lottery is like a special tax
for people who can't do math
every day do one thing that gets you
closer to your big goal venture out into
the unknown remember boats are safe in
the harbor but that's not what boats are
for
do not quit everyone who ever wanted
life simply didn't give up know that it
might take a while it might be hard but
as long as you keep putting one foot in
front of the other you will eventually
get there problems are life's way of
seeing if you're ready to level up
you must work in the dark for your light
to shine no matter how hard or difficult
life gets remember that even the longest
night eventually turns in today keep in
mind that when you'll look back the
nights are long but the years are short
measure in decades not days you'll be
paid based on your ability to see into
the future employees can only see one
week in advance managers a couple of
months and CEOs a few years
if life is a simulation
self-confidence is a cheat code believe
in yourself and others will do as well
we trust and invest our time effort and
money into people and the way they
present themselves take care of yourself
shower often get a haircut clean clothes
and make sure you smell nice don't make
it easy on them
never assume the answer is no before you
ask let them be the ones to tell you no
more often than not you'll be surprised
by how wrong you were to assume the
worst no doesn't change your reality
very much so every time you ask you're
getting a free role and a positive
answer even if they do say no then you
get to ask what would have made them say
yes their feedback will help you grow
stop acting richer than you are stop
trying to impress people impress
yourself stop buying products marketed
to you flexing is just showing others
how much money you can afford to waste
it's actually a waste of time you're
playing the long game where if you win
you get the life you always wanted
let them hate nobody throws stones at a
tree that doesn't have ripe fruit on it
stop expecting them to see what you see
stop expecting them to act the way you
would act stop expecting you from other
people
they won't be able to see the world the
way you see it when you talk growth with
people who don't want to grow to them it
sounds like bragging they'll resent you
for trying to move up from where they
are because your progress makes them
realize that they are less in comparison
a man with no aspirations sees dreams as
arrogance even so accept people as they
are but place them where they belong
if your dog starts barking at you
somebody else is feeding it
this isn't really about dogs
others will only see your decision not
the choices you had they will only see
the outcome not the effort overnight
success usually takes seven years to
accomplish
stop chasing people yes sex is fun but
making your dreams come true is the
ultimate release you can't even imagine
what it's like to wake up without the
stress of having to survive
stop buying video games and weed instead
hop on a plane Chase experiences versus
not escaping from reality be careful of
anything that can cause addiction or
long-term damage it's not worth it move
away and do not look back
the only real test of intelligence is if
you get what you want out of life ask
yourself if you're so smart why aren't
you rich if you're so smart why aren't
you happy smart people are able to
figure these things out so figure it out
once the work is done the lesson learned
trust that the money will follow money
will be up and it will be down but
that's how life is the market doesn't
determine how hard you work so by proxy
if you can outwork them you'll be able
to out earn them
learn to use leverage those who use the
tools at their disposal outperform the
rest learn to use the technology
available in your field your life is
cheap because you think investing in
yourself is expensive if you're finding
this video valuable go to alux.com app
right now and get the alox app it'll
blow you away with how practical and
actionable it is you'll see what we mean
once you get it use money to hire other
people for boring repetitive tasks
you'll pay them a fraction of what you
charge for it because the hard part
isn't the work it's bringing in Revenue
never do what others can do for you and
once you do let them do it no point in
hiring a dog if you're going to bark for
them
[Music]
rise up early the world is lazy and
unmotivated it's easy to compete with
them if you are up before them an extra
hour of your life is worth more when
you're 30 than when you're 80. it pays
off to cut on sleep when you're young
you don't win by being better you win by
doing the things others don't consider
valuable you already know what you
should be doing the growth you are
looking for is in the work you keep
postponing
it's never too late to start but those
who start earlier usually get further
along the way than everyone else that's
why the best time to plant a tree was 20
years ago the second best was yesterday
and the third best is right now
remember that great is just good
repeated over and over again consistency
beats Talent when Talent isn't
consistent you have to rub the lamp
consistently if you want your wish to
come true
in life you have to choose one of two
pains the pain of discipline or the pain
of regret
feel bad because deep down you know you
could be doing better the gap between
reality and expectations creates stress
either bring your reality to the level
of your expectations or bring your
expectations to the level of your
reality make a choice
direction is more important than speed
the same way hard work won't get you
very far if the idea is poor give
yourself the best shot at success find a
good enough idea and work as hard as you
can on hand
it doesn't get easier you just get
better but the trick is to do it every
day and once you see those results
coming in you're hooked
good enough Now is better than perfect
never get yourself moving and adjust
course based on the information you
receive
you might not realize it but between one
percent and two percent the difference
is one hundred percent small changes
lead to Big results you choose who you
are becoming through the choices you
make daily as these small choices
compound over time
once you get burned don't put your hand
back in the fire the lesson you struggle
with will repeat itself until you learn
from it you should never be more stupid
than you need to be
the price for making everyone happy is
making yourself miserable if you're a
friend to everybody you're actually an
enemy to yourself
people want you to do well in life but
not better than them and on that note
pay attention to those who don't clap
when you win most people won't support
you until they notice it's popular to
support you be careful of those who only
show up when you cut the cake
remember that if they talk to you about
someone else behind their back they'll
do the same about you with them lies
travel faster than the truth so keep an
ear out for what people are saying then
look at who they are
judge people based on what they do not
on what they say words only make sense
when we discover the ends they serve
an insincere apology is a second insult
the smartest people realize life is a
strategy game mediocre people sit back
and assume it's a movie
reality is negotiable anything that
anyone has ever done is proof that it's
possible if you only gather all of the
ingredients and follow the same recipe
the truth is nobody gets Rich by being
employed you get rich by owning
something that dramatically increases
value in a short period of time they
told you that it takes money to make
money so that you won't quit your job
some of you aren't broke you're just
pre-rich the truth is money doesn't buy
happiness but it's a very strong
unhappiness repellent
you get rich by taking large amounts of
risk with low amounts of money you stay
Rich by taking low amounts of risk with
large amounts of money
you make yourself rich by selling you
make yourself Wealthy by not having to
sell these are two very different
mindsets so learn the difference
pay all your taxes you don't want to be
disqualified due to a technicality make
your money in the light it's never been
easier to make a lot of money legally
there's no reason to take on the risk of
ever going to jail
avoid emotional altercations nobody
remembers any situation where losing
your temper created a positive outcome
actually it's cheaper to get out of
conflict even if you get out of a loss
if emotions go up decision making goes
down
keep in mind that once words are spoken
they're no longer only yours people
might forgive you but they will never
forget how you made them feel
learn to be where your feet are there's
nothing like the present but most people
live either in the past or in the future
so they miss out on the most important
parts of life
don't be a slave to the person you used
to be forgive your past and move on
remove the chains of past trauma keeping
you back it takes a strong person to
admit they need help remember the person
with no future will only look to the
Past
don't die with music Still In you find
your gift once you learn to monetize
your gift life opens up almost every
decision can be rewound regrets are
irreversible
find your voice learn to speak as
yourself you'll be able to escape
competition through authenticity because
nobody can beat you at being you please
remember that undifferentiated products
can only compete on price and that's a
race to the bottom you don't want to be
in
be courageous the journey starts when
you take the first step not when you
think about taking the first step
it's never the first mistake that ruins
you it's a series of mistakes that
follow it that's why brutal honesty is
so important take your head out of your
behind and look objectively at your life
sometimes you miss the forest because of
the trees
there's no such thing as your truth
truth is reality what you have is your
perspective on reality don't confuse the
two
if you want to avoid making the same
mistake twice make more decisions based
on your past memories and fewer
decisions based on your current emotions
you don't expand by becoming someone
else you expand by becoming more of
yourself
the greater the monster the greater the
hero when you start growing you'll get
Growing Pains new levels new Devils get
ready for some new challenges
the cost of public failure is the ticket
to the life you want to live 73 percent
of people live with the fear of public
embarrassment so they settle for
whatever Society tells them to settle
for you don't need others to believe in
you if you believe in yourself you get
to decide whether to be your greatest
obstacle or your biggest fan
you already know this by now but if you
don't build your own dream someone will
hire you to build theirs
being busy is not a flex it means you
don't have control over your life don't
confuse being busy with being productive
Stop opening new tabs in your mind it
slows down your processing power use
your brain for what it's designed to do
the main purpose of your brain is to
generate ideas not to store them
anything that you can do for a limited
time that has lifelong returns do it
look for these kinds of returns in
everything you do
you don't need more advice you need to
finish your to-do list don't buy new
books finish the ones you bought but
haven't read yet don't start a new
project until you see the fruit of the
first one
learn to use the knowledge of the past
and you'll seem like a genius of the
present knowledge is useless unless you
apply it you can't just read about
push-ups and expect to build muscle
use knowledge as soon as you get it for
its value decreases over time with a
number of people that hold it
if you feel undervalued the first thing
you should do is switch locations
because location changes value the same
bottle of water is 50 Cents at the
supermarket two dollars at a restaurant
and five dollars on a plane you're not
undervalued you're just in the wrong
place sometimes the lifestyle you want
may not be available in your region
whenever you feel stupid about something
that's a signal that you just got
smarter also don't believe everything
you feel feelings are usually different
than reality
although people say they don't know
where to start the reality is there are
too many options that's what's stopping
you from taking action
when we know what to do knowing when to
do it becomes the hard part
the world where you were born no longer
exists so open up your mind and get
ready for the future companies who plan
for the future earn on average 33
percent more than those who just stay
the course
the goal is to be an intellectual
athlete being an end-to-end thinker is a
superpower
doing what you want equals Freedom
liking what you do equals happiness
be careful who you choose to follow put
a clown on a throne and the whole
Kingdom becomes a circus
don't mistake an expensive lifestyle for
a happy life the poor man is someone who
always wants more money no matter how
much money they already have it's okay
for others to have more than you as long
as you have more than enough
time doesn't heal anything it just piles
up new memories and distractions
drive for peace not happiness both of
them stem from freedom and the ability
to toy with your own time that is the
greatest measurement of freedom
we are born with the seed of death in us
if you were to die tomorrow would you be
proud of how you lived your life maybe
it's time you start adding more life to
your years life is a balance between the
present and trading with the future
living every day as if it's your last is
horrible productivity advice
you should never have a problem turning
the page of your life life has Seasons
the same way nature does you might be
ready to start a new season live life
without a destination mindset the one
who loves the journey will go further in
life than the one who loves the
destination the biggest life hack is
finding happiness in the process
you win at life when you enjoy the
passing of time instead of trying to
build the perfect business pick the
lifestyle you want and build a business
that supports it you will be much
happier
sometimes more money is just too
expensive if it costs you your peace of
mind and how you sleep at night the cost
is too high you don't need it no matter
what it is
the reward is better when you've earned
it there's Beauty in the struggle
the goal is to no longer have any goals
success is a self-perpetuating game that
you can only win by deciding you've
already won if you're watching this know
that you're already there what you're
playing for now are bonus points
gratitude for what you have replaces the
misery of not having more
