BY AGE 40 I have come to learn these 17 things I hope you will see some insite two.
1. Someone makes 10x more than you do in a 9-5 job because they have more "leverage" with their work.
2. Distraction is the greatest killer of success. It stunts and destroys your brain.
3. You shouldn't take advice from people who are not where you want to be in life.
4. No one is coming to save your problems. Your life's 100% your responsibility.
5. You don't need 100 self-help books, all you need is action and self discipline.
6. Unless you went to college to learn a specific skill (ie. doctor, engineer, lawyer), you can make more money in the next 90 days just learning sales.
7. No one cares about your problems we all have them. So stop being over explanatory or trying to excuse your troubles with the context of "that moment or point in life or ex" go out and create your chances and opportunities to overcome the past.
8. If you find someone smarter than you, work with them, don't compete. They will become your best resource asset and friend! Never undermine them or take them for granted!
9. Smoking has 0 benefit in your life. This habit will only slow your thinking and lower your focus as well as decrease your average daily profitablity.
10. Comfort and convenience is the worst addiction and cheapest ticket to depression. Self Discipline Self Discipline Self Discipline!
11. Don't tell people more than they need to know, respect your privacy, less is best.
12. Avoid alcohol at all cost. Nothing is worse than losing your senses and acting a fool and showing out until your checkbook bank card is rejected.
13. Keep your standards high and don't settle for something because it's available, mark your goal and stand your ground.
14. The family you stand by, And that supports you in your lowest moments, is most important even if they are not blood.
15. Train yourself to take nothing personally to save yourself from 99.99% of mental problems. Brush it off give it to the gossipers and continue to grow yourself.
16. Find a spouse who loves your crazy strives to keep up with your ambitions, and 5 others you can trust your life and spouse with! Form an Incorporated alliance of finance and service based teams and conquer your arenas together!
Lastly and By Far thee Most Important
17. Faith and Support of Others
are the Best Medicine to get back to productive life, if in a stallout period. Go volunteer and help those who have less. You'll be glad to be where you are and motivated once again!
