Yesterday I signed my second 7-figure deal.
We sold a 2 MW solar power plant I had invested in.
I’ve not shared anything about it because it mainly involves a ton of boring documents and permits.
Plus, the construction was handled by our partners.

The man who hacked the mind:

I’m 32.
At 27, I became a multi-millionaire, but I felt emptier than ever.

This is Morgan Housel.
He's the author of "Psychology of Money."
His message? Getting money is one thing. Keeping it is another.
Here are 8 of his insights on how to get (and stay) rich:

1) Your thoughts can make you sick.
Because of our large brains, we are capable of turning on the cascade of stress chemicals just by thought alone.
We can knock our brain and body out of normal physiology just by thinking.
Joe explains:

9) By committing to 15 minutes of gratitude, 3 times per day, your immune system can strengthen itself by 50%.
The research behind this insight is mind-blowing:

7) Meditation helps you shift those deep-seated beliefs and behaviours.
It helps you get beyond the analytical mind and enter the subconscious mind so you can make real and permanent changes.
Become nothing to better understand the character you’re transforming into.
5
73
679
3) If negative thoughts can make you sick, positive thoughts can make you healthy.
Since how we think, act, and feel becomes our personality…
You can use positive thinking to reverse-engineer yourself back into peak health.
2
47
660
4) You can become addicted to stress the same way we become addicted to drugs.
The rush of adrenaline and the rest of the stress hormones arouse brain and body, providing a rush of energy.
In time, you become addicted to the rush of that chemistry.
Here is how:

I discovered a guy who travels around the US asking millionaires their advice on:
Finances. Money mindset. Building wealth.
Turns out, they all agree upon this one advice...
These are my top 7:

575
6) The past is the place where you survived until now.
But you can’t move forward if you process the same thoughts everyday.
Those same thoughts lead to the same behaviours and, in the end, the same emotions.
Change your thoughts to change your reality.

In his later years, Jim donated $6 billion via his foundation.
This made him the sixth-most philanthropic giver in America.
He passed away on Friday, May 11 2024.
Rest in peace, legend.

8) Understand that you're more than your physical body.
You are a spirit, a soul having a human experience.
2
49
496
5) When your day runs on autopilot (program), you are not in control.
The program is a set of unconscious thoughts, behaviours, and emotions you acquired through repetition.
This is how you lose your free will to a program.
You become a slave to your own mind.

10) Where you place your attention is where you place your energy.
Once you fix your attention or your awareness or your mind on possibility, you place your energy there as well.

Don’t Take Yourself So Seriously
Life is a game.
If you take it too seriously, you'll suffer.
Instead, embrace its inherent unpredictability and find joy in the flow of experience.
Ultimately, you're just a monkey with a brain on a floating rock.

Before we dive in, you must understand how good Jim was.
If you invested $10K into his Medallion Fund in 1988, you’d have $420M.
Let that sink in.
If you invested in S&P 500, you’d have $400,000.
If you invested in Warren Buffet’s fund, you’d have $1.5M.

Life Is Meaningless (And That’s Good)
Life is a dance.
The goal in a dance is to enjoy each step, not reach a specific point on the floor.

Don’t Desire It, Be It
