Today is my 33rd birthday.
And this glass of whiskey has me thinking...
Here's a list of things I know at 33 (that I wish I knew at 23):
And this glass of whiskey has me thinking...
Here's a list of things I know at 33 (that I wish I knew at 23):
1. Remember the 33/33/33 rule
With everything you do in life:
β’ 33% of people will love you
β’ 33% of people will hate you
β’ 33% of people won't care at all
Focus on the first 33 and forget the rest.

2. Outline every goal with a metric
Every goal should have a number associated with it:
β’ Lose 20 pounds in 3 months by working out 30 min a day
β’ Make $120,000 selling 600 copies of my course
β’ Read a minimum 30 min a day β 4X a week
"Meditate more" will never work...

3. Seek self-reliance
"If you want to make the wrong decision β ask everyone" β Naval
β’ Fix it instead of buying new
β’ Watch YouTube videos
β’ Test things online
Experimentation will bring you further along than asking others.

4. Turn off all notifications
No joke. You'll be amazed at how much:
β’ Time you save
β’ Work you get done
β’ Better you feel about yourself
When YOU decide when you look at your phone (instead of the notification telling you)

5. On imposter syndrome
The truth about imposter syndrome:
No one is thinking you're an imposter β they're worried about what everyone else is thinking about them.
This should help relieve some of that stress...

6. Prioritize "output" over "outcome"
Start today, whatever it is:
β’ Go to the gym
β’ Write your book
β’ Publish content online
β’ Record YouTube content
And don't worry about the outcome (at first). Put in the reps.
(And if you can β add metrics from item one in this list).

7. Most friends are temporary
You don't know the last time you'll:
β’ See
β’ Talk to
β’ Hang out with
Many of your friends. We go in different directions in life. Cherish the relationships you have today.

8. Ideas are cheap β execution is priceless
Everyone has ideas.
But only a few people put in the work, every day, to make their dreams a reality.
Be one of those people.

10. Being "selfish" is a good thing
Don't confuse "selfish" with "self-centered'
β’ Say "no"
β’ Put yourself first
β’ Promote your ideas
β’ Stand up for yourself
No one is going to show up for you if you don't show up for yourself first.

11. Understand that security is an illusion:
I've:
β’ Lost my job due to a fire
β’ Been fired after securing a huge sale

It's clichΓ© as hell β but modern security is only an illusion.
