-When you invest, people will envy your wealth
-When you win, people will envy your success
The guilt is not on you, it’s all on them.
Ignoring your health while chasing success is a mistake many don’t catch until it’s too late.
Balance your hustle with good habits:
• Walking
• Reading
• Eating well
You'll be thankful you did when you're not only wealthy, but also healthy and wise.
It's easy to burn out.
You think 18-hour days are the answer.

The hardest part of business?
It's NOT making your first $1.
The real test is staying driven when comfort creeps in—when times are good.
That’s where most guys fall behind.
But your drive shouldn't stop...
When the money starts.
Running a business isn’t just about work.
It’s about:
• Solving problems
• Constant learning
• Managing human emotions
I carve out at least one hour a day to learn something new.
Stay curious to stay ahead.
To grow a business...
You need more than good ideas:
You need clarity.
You need systems.
You need execution.
You need automation.
Otherwise, you’ll spin your wheels...
While your competition get ahead.
Reward does not exist without risk.
Growth does not exist without pain.
Trust does not exist without honesty.
Pride does not exist without courage.
Success does not exist without sacrifice.
Talent does not exist without discipline.
Instead of watching Netflix, read.
Instead of sitting on the couch, lift weights.
Instead of binging junk food, eat a steak.
Instead of scrolling TikTok, work on your goals.
Yes, it might be tough.
But doing it anyway is how you build yourself into who you want to be.
2. Deep Simplicity: Bringing Order to Chaos and Complexity
It is hard to understand everything, but you can always give it to a more intelligent friend if you can't understand it.
Money can’t buy happiness…
But it can buy a jetski!
Listen, there’s a common belief that more money equals more happiness...
... And that success is measured by the size of your bank account
But this just isn't true.
It’s a narrow view of what life is really about.
Do it twice, that's repetition
Do it a few, that's a behaviour
Do it a few months, that's a habit
Do it for a year, that's a lifestyle
Do it for 10 years, that's a ritual
Success doesn’t come from what you do occasionally, it comes from what you do every day.
1/ Lead by Example
Alexander the Great never separated himself from the rest of his army. When they celebrated, he celebrated. When they suffered, he suffered with them.
A true leader leads from the front, by example.
If you’re hanging onto every role in your business, you’re slowing down your growth.
The best leaders know when to let go.
Hiring the right people and trusting them to handle certain tasks frees you up to focus on what truly matters—scaling your business.
You don’t need to do
If you want to master Communication…
Only 3 books you need:

1. Faraday, Maxwell, and the Electromagnetic Field: How Two Men Revolutionized Physics
It’s a combination of scientific biography and physics explanation, relating to electricity.
And neither of the writers is a physicist.
No matter how bad life might seem, remember this:
You come from a long chain of ancestors that braved unimaginable hardship for you to exist.
Whether or not you've accepted it yet:
You are a badass by fact of your existence.
Go out there and act like it
5. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies
A book recommended by Bill Gates and Charlie Munger.
Gates said– "the book had a profound effect on the way I think about history and why certain societies advance faster than others.”
2/ Be Persistent

That requires persistence.
Go after what you want until you’ve caught it firmly with both hands and a tight grip.
3. Models of My Life
An autobiography of Nobel laureate Herbert A. Simon, a remarkable man who more people should know about.
He won Nobel prize for his theory of “bounded rationality,” and is best known for his quote,
“A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention.”
4. Andrew Carnegie
The definitive biography of an industrial genius, philanthropist, and enigma.
At a business meeting, Munger also mentioned the Mellon Brothers as people to study.
Scaling is NOT about working harder.
It’s about doing less and letting your systems do the heavy lifting for you.
Here’s how I built a system that generated $27M while cutting my work hours by 40%:
9. Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In
The book is one of the primary business texts in North America.
So it shouldn’t surprise you that I was first introduced to this as part of my MBA program– Says Munger.
3/ Be Intelligent and Charismatic
For Alexander the Great intelligence was important, but charisma was just as important.
Intelligence would help you put together the strategy, but it is with charisma that you get people to believe in your vision, and carry it out for you.
2. Progress Equals Happiness
"Progress is the ultimate motivation."
Robbins believes that true happiness comes from making progress.
Whether it's in your personal life, career, or relationships, always aim to move forward.

1. Don't smoke
2. Limit drinking
3. Let go of grudges
4. Exercise every day
5. Give back to people
6. Invest time in your loved ones
7. Spend time on things that bring you joy
Life is short.
Take care of yourself.
4/ Assemble a Dream Team
Alexander knew that a successful and talented leader needs a foundation to carry him. He always had a well-qualified team of Generals and strategists around him.
He delegated when he needed to, and allowed them to do their work without interference.
How to calm your mind and find happiness:
- Find solitude
- Get minimalistic
- Spend time alone
- Cut external noises
- Observe, ponder, meditate
- Declutter your environment
- Introspect, reflect, contemplate
- Spend time at a peaceful location
- Practice mindfulness
The easy path to making money is solving problems for people that can pay you an amount of money you want.
Solve a simple problem for a lot of people with a small price tag.
Or a large problem for a small group with a large price tag.
2nd option is easier!
5/ Win the War of the Minds
You must beat your opponent at the war of the minds, or the psychological warfare.
This theory is well implemented in business and in life, as entering a negotiation The game of “psyching your opponent out” is a game very few can master.
2) Inversion
As my business grew, I'd run into complex decisions that didn't have straight forward answers:
• Conflicting data
• Conflicting emotions
• Multiple stakeholders
Then I found Inversion.
Instead of asking, “How do I succeed?” I shifted to: “How would I fail?”
I hit rock bottom trying to figure everything out on my own.
Since then, I've generated over $27M online.
Here are 8 lessons every entrepreneur should know (avoid my mistakes):
