Here are 10 mistakes that cost me years of wasted time and pain (avoid them before it’s too late):
1. Avoiding failure
I viewed failure as the devil which stopped me from trying anything that could result in it.
Think about a baby learning to walk. They don’t avoid failure. They keep trying until they succeed.
View failures as stepping stones.

2. Avoiding discomfort
I stayed in my warm bubble of comfort which got smaller the more I stayed in it.
Gold is on the other side of discomfort:
- Hard workouts
- Leaning into fear
- Difficult challenges
Make a habit of pushing your limits

3. Not staying consistent
I got bored of doing the boring work.
So I’d switch up what was working for something new and exciting.
Dumb.
Successful people are the ones who can do the boring work repeatedly.

4. Letting fear rule my life
If it scared me I avoided it.
- Social situations
- Pushing my limits
- Hard conversations
The physical sensations of fear prepare you for action. If you avoid it the sensations grow stronger.

5. Expecting quick results
- 6-pack abs in 6 weeks
- 6-figure business in 1 year
- $1000 side hustle in 30 days
We want instant results. If I didn’t get them I'd switch up the process.
That’s like running a 10-mile race and restarting every time you reach mile 7.

6. Waiting to feel motivated
The biggest mistake of them all. Think of motivation as an emotion.
It comes and goes.
I'd never get anything done if I waited until I felt embarrassed to take action.
So why do you wait until you feel motivated?

7. Focusing on the outcome
The goal is not to lose 20 pounds. The goal is to eat well every day.
The goal is not to write a book. The goal is to write 100 words every day.
The goal is not the outcome. The goal is the work.
This is how you begin to enjoy the process.

8. Caring about others' opinions
I cared what people thought about my plans.
Don’t listen to the opinion of a man you don’t want to live like.
- Money advice from a poor man
- Life advice from an unfulfilled man
- Health advice from an overweight person.

9. Not having a beginner mindset
I cared too much about being right over finding truth.
- Never ask dumb questions
- Never clarifying what was said
- Never wanting to look like a beginner
Now I embrace it. I’m curious and don’t care about looking dumb.

10. Blaming over taking responsibility
When you blame you release control to the thing you blamed.
Blaming someone or anything else means you can no longer change it.
Taking responsibility brings control back into your hands.
