October 2022
Your decision
If you can't decide, someone else will do it for you. Sooner or later. And that decision will rarely get you where you want to be...
| |
|
Good news...
The best time to learn is when the stakes are low. The good news: the stakes are always lower today than they will probably be tomorrow...
| |
|
Eliminating opportunities...
Eliminating uncertainty eliminates opportunities. Keep that in mind...
| |
|
As little as you possibly can...
It's not about saying a lot. It's about saying as much as you possibly can by saying as little as you possibly can...
| |
|
No one else is looking...
The biggest opportunities aren't found where everybody else is looking. They're found where no one else is looking...
| |
|
The outliers
Normal is boring. That's why you'll rarely hear about the stuff that's normal. And instead, you'll hear about the exceptions. And the outliers. Be careful not to confuse the two of them...
| |
|
It will...
Taking risks can wipe you out. But over time, not taking risks will wipe you out...
| |
|
A great place indeed...
Imagine a world where people proactively help to make things better, instead of just criticizing everything that isn't perfect yet. What a great place indeed...
| |
|
Backfire
We always want more for less. But that rarely ever works. And if it does, it's most likely going to backfire. Sooner or later...
| |
|
Skills and talent
Most of the things in life don't require skills. Or talent. Or money. They require courage. And perseverance...
| |
|
What really matters
Once you get started, you'll realize that 99% of your concerns are completely irrelevant. And that you haven't even thought about 99% of the things that really matter...
| |
|
Lead you nowhere...
In the long run, most shortcuts turn out to be detours. Detours that, if you stay on them for too long, will ultimately lead you nowhere...
| |
|
Your present...
When you spend too much time regretting your past and worrying about your future, you'll inevitably end up missing out on your present...
| |
|
Crashed and burned
Most advice doesn't work. Because it can only be truly understood once you've crashed and burned...
| |
|
Knowing what you're doing...
You don't need a lot of money when you know what you're doing. Hence, the first step is to figure out and know what you're doing. In the long run, that's always going to be the cheapest option...
| |
|
Somewhere along the way...
You don't have to be smart. You just have to be able to do a lot of stuff that's probably not going to work out and not give up somewhere along the way...
| |
|
The weird stuff..
The best time to do or join something is when it feels weird. The worst time to do or join something is when it feels normal...
| |
|
Learning...
The problem with learning something new is that you might have to change your mind. That's why it's so hard. And scary...
| |
|
Truly...
Do more of the things you truly believe in. Because that's the way to truly start believing in yourself...
| |
|
Not so much...
It's easy to see the things you want to see. However, the things you have to see, not so much...
| |
|
Too much searching
Don't spend too much time searching or you'll be too busy to find the things you're looking for...
| |
|
You better be prepared
Don't just do what works. Because what works today might not work anymore tomorrow. And what doesn't work today might work tomorrow. So you better be prepared....
| |
|
Impatience...
Impatience is the enemy. It kills dreams. Ambition. Motivation. And inspiration...
| |
|
Your reputation...
If you're too worried about your reputation, you'll probably never be able to build a reputation. Because a reputation can't be built on fear. It can only be built on trial & error, being different and standing out...
| |
|
You can't afford it...
Whatever you put out there, you probably can't afford perfect. No one can...
| |
|
Then what's the point of it all?
You can read, watch and listen to as much stuff online as you want. But if you never really use the things you've learned, then what's the point of it all?
| |
|
It won't...
A degree doesn't make you anything. It doesn't make you a CEO. An entrepreneur. A singer. A writer. Or an artist. Only doing will...
