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

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 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
