Life observations and thoughts
A few semi-controversial things I believe π
Real Estate has the highest % of "dumb rich people".
I'm not saying you're dumb if you're in real estate.
I'm saying -- if you want to get rich without needing to be a genius, real estate is your best bet.
ββ
Hard work is massively overrated.
*WHAT* you work on is far more important than *HOW HARD* you work.
I'm happy and successful because I work on things that matter to me.
Janitors work hard. Backline cooks work hard. Hard work helps you win your game. Choose the right game.
ββ
"Most people" do what "Most people" do.
This is a huge mistake. In Australia:
* 50% of marriages end in divorce or separation
* 60%+ of the pop. is obese or overweight
* 70% of people have less than $1k in savings
What "most people" are doing isn't working
ββ
If you work in tech - joining a startup is a bad financial decision.
Employee #1 gets 10x or 20x LESS equity a founder gets + takes a salary cut.
Big companies pay way more, and have less stress.
$$ wise - Start a startup or work at a big co
ββ
Creative ppl should NOT work Monday-Friday 9-to-5 (yet 99% do this)
Naval has a great framework. Work like a LION.
- sit
- wait for prey
- SPRINT
- eat/enjoy
- rest & repeat
Most people work like COWS instead. Standing in the field all day, grazing grass slowly.
ββ
Becoming a Billionaire is a silly goal.
they just give the money away anyways.
Instead..be a:
- Help Billionaire, helping 1B people. OR
- Time Billionaire - having complete freedom of schedule, to invest billions of minutes into projects you care about.
ββ
The advice to "be yourself" sounds easy, but is actually the hardest thing you can do in life.
Most people don't like themselves. They don't think they are enough.
So they set goals. Get promoted. Lose weight. Get rich. etc.
You can do all those. But it wonβt solve the insecurity.#values #life
