Assumptions kill
So let me kill some assumptions for you:
- I’m not a guru
- I don’t have some course or newsletter to sell you
- I don’t claim to be a great successful person (not at the moment anyway)
In trying to find success I just share lessons learnt along the way here
Friendly reminder that disagreements are a normal part of human interactions,
And just because you had a disagreement doesn’t necessarily mean whatever relationship you had is over!
Do me a favor,
Stop sharing and using template emails/DM’s!
There is nothing more annoying than an obviously generic DM about an offer or trying to ‘connect’!
This game will never end
What game am I talking about?
Business, X, education, sports
How do you win this game?
You win by keeping the game going
You lose by quitting the game

Your mind associates locations with certain actions
If you’ve associated your hometown with laziness, failing, or otherwise,
Might be wise to go somewhere else and get a fresh start 🤷♂️
Want to know why society hates the rich?
It’s because of those rich people that treat everyone else like garbage.
When you do finally make it, remember where you came from,
And that less-wealthy people are humans too worthy of your respect.
You're pathetic,
If you're the type of guy to:
- Follow everyone so that they follow you back
- Unfollow everyone to have '0 following'
Do you have nothing better to do with your life or for your career?
Been struggling with this lately:
How can you tell whether a muscle in your body is a weak point,
or if it’s all just in your head and the muscle is actually good?
Which mindset do you use?
A: “I must do whatever it takes to make the goal come true”
B: “I must only focus on doing my best, and not think too much about the results”
“If yOu HaVe A pLaN B tHeN yOu WiLL fAiL!1!1!”
You’re not God
You can’t say with absolute certainty that things will work
Even with full dedication and commitment,
Things outside of your control still happen!
And there isn’t much you can do about it!
Be smart
Have a plan B
In video games,
Meeting enemies is a sign you're on the right path
In real life,
If you've got doubters/haters,
You're probably doing something right
Keep going!
Y'all are wrong
It's not always about the value you give in your tweets
I've seen several cases of people multiplying their followers,
By simply posting about their follower count and a simple "thanks"
Someone explain that!
You don't have to provide real solutions
You can make psychological solutions instead!
E.g.: people used to complain that elevators were slow
Instead of speeding up elevators, which would've been costly,
They added mirrors to the elevators to distract you
No complaints since
Social media growth hack:
Post negative and/or controversial stuff
For some reason, no one is interested in good, inspiring words
But everyone rushes at the opportunity to see and comment on ridiculousness!
(Use at your own discretion and risk - may affect reputation)
Are you a coward?
Why are you scared that your business won’t work?
Worst case scenario, it doesn’t work because nobody saw it,
And since nobody saw it, no one will know you failed!
So either you loudly succeed, or quietly fail and go back to normal
So get on with it already
Losing? Good
That’s where learning and progress are made
You don’t learn or develop after you’ve already won
Why do you think winners are so good at what they do?
Can it be argued that, if done correctly, uni and a degree make for a good back up plan in case all your plans fail?
If done correctly = not drowning in student debt, working on your goals while in uni, etc
You’re wrong.
You don’t want money/wealth,
You want POWER!
Think deeper about it:
Cash in itself is just paper;
What’s attractive about this paper is what it can do,
I.E. its power!
Change your end goal from wealth to power.
Warning; most people don’t like hearing this:
If you aren’t where you want to be right now,
It’s because you don’t deserve to be there
It’s your fault.
Do something about it!
You know what you have to do.
I know you know.
No need to keep reading and watching videos on what you have to do,
Because you already know.
About time for you to get up and actually take action, right?
Because that’s all that’s left at this point.
You’ll learn more from your enemies than you ever will from your friends
There is so much power in learning to use your enemies, or people that don’t like you in general
Listen to them; there is likely a good reason as to why they don’t like you
Which of these ways of thinking is better?;
A: make sure the result is of high quality, even if that means it's going to be late
B: do the best you can do within the given time. I.e.: could be sub-par quality but on time
It’s hard
Very, very hard
Nothing easy or attractive about grinding for success,
And those aren’t my words; they’re Goggins’s words.
Don’t go into those journey if you’re hoping to have fun!
@ReviveTheBH
Smoke as many cigarettes as possible
Get on all the drugs imaginable
Drink as much alcohol as you can
Do less than 500 steps a day
Eat the fattiest, least nutritious food you can find
Be chronically online
You'll become incredibly healthy 👍
I was harassed today in the gym
Context: I’ve been blessed with good chest muscle genetics
Some guy in the gym comes up to me, starts poking my chest, and goes:
“Very cool, man. Hard work’s paid off”
I’m like “bro wtf??”
Is this normal?!
If money doesn't buy happiness,
And if it's such a bad thing to have,
How come all the rich people aren't actively trying to get rid of all their money?
Stop being a motivation bot
No one needs another motivational X account
You can post motivational content every other time,
But don’t make it your sole goal. Be different somehow!
And how you wanna do that is up to you.

Complete nonsense
When you're just starting out,
Your service sucks
So stop charging so high for it!
No one's going to pay so high for mid service!
Earn your worth! ✅

there is always a way to solve problems without using violence.”

How do you go about sales?:
A: “I must find all their objections and defeat every single one so I can get in a sale”
B: “If I feel they’re uncomfortable with this sale then I’ll stop”
Note to your future self:
Don't let success change you to someone that nobody wants to be around
Just because you're successful doesn't mean you can be obnoxious!
Be respectful and classy, show that you deserve this success!
Before going to the gym:
“Oh I can’t wait for this!”
In the gym:
“Oh this sucks! I hate this!”
After the gym:
“Best thing I’ve ever done”
Surely it’s not just me that feels this way 😆
Calling all marketers!
In this era of social media and scam emails,
Is advertising via email effective as it used to be?
Especially relative to advertising via social media
Looking to learn a little bit 📝
Do yourself a favor:
As soon as you find your unique point,
Hold on to it for dear life! You’ll regret leaving it!
Everyone that I know that found success with something unique,
Then left it for something more normal caused them to only fail.
Uniqueness is success!
As you become more successful,
You’ll need to be able to say ‘no’ more often.
Can’t be very successful if you’re doing a million things at the same time!
You gotta focus on one thing.
My grandparents gave me many of their belongings
I will be forever grateful to them
Not just for the items themselves
But also for indirectly sharing some of their wisdom:
Material belongings are futile
Why does posting a follower count result in lots of unfollows?
Just seen multiple cases of dudes being happy they achieved a high number of followers,
Only to immediately lose many of them.
Why does this happen?
