I thought banking was my path to wealth
But after working 60+ hrs a week for 9Y, I burned out
So I quit to go all in online
Stop selling your time, start building assets

“Pick one desire, and one desire only. The universe will help you get it. Let go of everything else.”
Last year, I:

“Learn to sell. Learn to build. If you can do both, you'll be unstoppable.”
One thing I've learnt from 9 years in banking:
EVERYTHING is sales.
I hit a glass ceiling because I didn’t know how to sell.
Learn copywriting - your ideas don't matter if you can't communicate them.

“Following your genuine intellectual curiosity is a better foundation for a career than following whatever is making money right now.”
I became a banker since it paid the most.
Yet all I dreamt of for years was leaving.
But I love writing...
Find work that feels like play.

“Be authentic to escape competition, find what you know how to do better than anybody because you love to do it & it feels like play”

“Play iterated games. All the returns in life, whether in wealth, relationships, or knowledge, come from compound interest.”

"If you’re evenly split on a difficult decision, take the path more painful in the short term."
Quitting my job was scary.
And the 1st year was rocky as hell.

I found Naval in 2018
But it wasn’t until Oct '20 that I acted on his advice
