Take More Risks
“If you don’t take risks, you don’t drink champagne.”
– Gary Kasparov
The more risks you take, the higher your chances of success. Playing it safe will get you security.
And freedom doesn’t coexist well with security. You can only have one, not both

Create Luck
Creating luck is simply putting yourself where you can get lucky. You can't get lucky with girls sitting on your couch, but you can at the bar.
You don’t get lucky with a $ MM business contract at a cheap restaurant...

Accelerate
Once you start making money, keep making money. Once you start seeing success at something, accelerate.
Ride the trend/wave until it dies out on its own. Don’t kill momentum.
Momentum isn’t always easy to come by, accelerate whenever it does.

Know More People
Knowing more people means information reaches you faster. The reach of your network is your reach.
Opportunities increase when others refer you.
Sometimes, all you have to do is invest seconds in building a good reputation with people. Be nice

Don’t Experience, Extrapolate
Those who try to experience everything before learning from everything will soon discover they can’t experience everything in their lifetime.
Learn from the mistakes of others. You don’t have to break a leg to know it hurts

Double Down, Eliminate Fails
Have two things of the same purpose? One is failing, the other is doing well?
Eliminate the defective one and double down on the effective one. This applies to businesses, girls you’re seeing, sales leads, etc.

Incentivize People
Don't have a personal relationship & don’t intend to build one? Incentivize people to gain favor over others.
Buy the nerdy ‘computer guy’ at your workplace lunch. He’ll prioritize your work over others'.
Might also do some off the grid work for you

Opportunity Cost
The cost of doing something isn’t just what you get paid for it; it’s also what you lose out on while doing it.
The opportunity cost of watching movies is that your life is passing you by while you do so.
And TV has no ROI

Be Greedy With Your Time
You won’t get it back. Give it out sparingly, and only in high ROI environments. If there is nothing to be gained, then your presence is wasted.
Sometimes, outright ignore people. You don’t have to deal with idiots – zero respect for your time
