You cannot afford to get emotional about other people's decisions.

I've said in the past:

Do not chase people.

If someone walks away from you, let them be.
If they believe they're better off without you, let them go.

Do not hold people back.

If they stay around you against their will, your relationship will turn toxic and unhealthy.

Respect people's choices and boundaries no matter how unreasonable or straight out stupid they might seem.

Your friends are not your kids.
You have no responsibility over them.

This also applies to friends that are stubborn and don't want to listen to your advice.

DO NOT INSIST.

Let them make their own mistakes.

Hard work and success go hand in hand, so buck up!

Care about your appearance.

When you look your best, you feel your best.

Dress like someone who has confidence and let your self-assurance come through in how you look.

Confidence begins at the edge of your comfort zone.

Get uncomfortable--try something new, meet different people or approach a situation in an unconventional way.

Money isn't a denomination of time. It's a measure of how little time you'll need to trade to get everything you want.

If you have a Netflix subscription (there's no nice way of saying this): You're a goddamn idiot and probably broke ($150k a year or less). Imagine paying to waste your time and be brainwashed. Loser shit. Click unfollow.

You have to be able to keep going even when people and things come against you.

Challenges will come, but it’s how you deal with them that will determine how successful you become.

More individuals need to focus on working hard instead of focusing on planning the breaks they are going to take.

If you are excited and waiting for breaks in between your grind.

It shows negligence and lack of drive.

You must be focused on what you are doing.

That is the only way to success.

The more you learn, the less you speak.

Which stage are you at?

Escape mediocrity in two simple ways:

• Stop doing what everyone else is doing and start something new entirely and work hard.

• Do what everyone else is doing but in a way that no one has ever tried to do.

“Don’t tell anyone your goals”

Is a great cope for insecure and mentally weak people who are scared they won’t make it so they’d rather keep their plans to themselves in order to mitigate the fallout shame.

There’s a thin line between silence and cowardice.

Whilst it’s true that talking about your goals with the wrong people could sabotage you -

Not talking about your goals doesn’t automatically increase your chances of success either.

It takes great courage to proclaim a dream and let the whole world keep you accountable

Yet that’s exactly what all the greats have done -

Elon Musk
Kanye West
Martin Luther
Muhammad Ali
Cristiano Ronaldo

No one ever makes it big by keeping quiet.

You don’t even have to be vocal about it

Your obsession with your craft should make it obvious.

You must wear your business on your sleeve - that’s how you get referrals & connections.

How do you hope to succeed in your YouTube career or online business when you’re too scared to tell your friends about it.

And if a few boos & jest can kill your drive - won’t make it!

Work hard & advertise yourself

Document & show proof

Work in solitude & go out to network

Be self-sufficient & ask for help when you need it

Bet on yourself & go ALL IN.

Chasing short term pleasure is the fastest track to failure.

You are going to piss a lot of people off when you start doing what is best for you.

A ton of potential is wasted every day because of the fear of embarrassment. How many dates could you have had if you had just asked? How many more clients would you have if you had just pitched more? How many more things you could do if you were not afraid of being judged?

Don’t share your dreams with people who don’t share your ambitions.

If you don’t set a baseline standard for what you’ll accept in your life, you’ll find it’s easy to slip into behaviors and attitudes or a quality of life that’s far below what you deserve.

Too many people focus on achievement without fulfillment.

If there is a difference between what you say and what you do, then your behavior is the winner.
