A marketer
It doesn't really matter what you do when you're self-employed. Whether you like it or not, but first and foremost, you're a marketer...
| |
|
Getting an edge
The only way to get an edge that nobody else has is to do stuff. You don't get an edge by reading, listening to, or watching stuff that's publicly available...
| |
|
The things you know
The challenge is no longer to know stuff. The challenge is to truly understand all of the things you already know...
| |
|
Turning pro...
Constant practice isn't just for professionals. As a matter of fact, it's the constant practice that turns you into a pro...
| |
|
Winning or losing...
As long as you're playing the wrong game, you won't really care if you're winning or losing. Keep that in mind...
| |
|
Building a business...
Contrary to popular belief, the best way to learn how to build a business is to build a business....
| |
|
Ignore the stuff...
Never underestimate the stuff that everybody else ignores. And ignore the stuff that everybody else is doing...
| |
|
Avoiding failure...
When you're trying to avoid failure, you'll ultimately also end up avoiding success...
| |
|
Forced to take action...
The best time to take action is before you're forced to take action...

Wasted potential
The jobs that need to be filled are rarely the things that people enjoy doing. But it's the stuff that has to get done. And it's the stuff that gets paid right away. So people end up doing them. But when you do stuff you don't really enjoy doing, you'll sooner or later end up in mediocrity...

|
The secret to freedom...
Become so good at what you do (or do what no one else can), so that everybody needs you...
| |
|
"Everybody else is wrong..."
Worth noting: We're also part of someone else's "everybody else"...
| |
|
Willing to learn
It's rarely about what you're able to do (today). It's about what you're willing to learn (and do)...
| |
|
Where no one else is looking
Contrary to most people's behaviour, the greatest opportunities with the least competition can be found where no one else is looking...
| |
|
Back then vs today
Back then, learning skills to earn a living took a lot of money. Today, learning skills to earn a living doesn't take a lot of money anymore, but a lot of courage...

|
Get rid of them...
If you feel like you're not moving fast enough, then just get rid of all the other options you might have...
| |
|
The things...
It's about the things you do. And not about the things you know, you say, you think or you believe in...
| |
|
Nowhere...
In the long run, most shortcuts turn into detours. Detours that will get you nowhere...
| |
|
School vs real life
School: There's only one possible answer and everything else is wrong. Real life: there are millions of possible answers and you've gotta figure out which one works best for you...
| |
|
The key...
The secret to pretty much everything is to stop caring about what other people might think of you...
| |
|
