𝗔𝘁 𝟯𝟲:
• CFO
• Ironman
• Millionaire
• Married with 2 boys
• Happiest I’ve ever been
These 19 rules changed my life👇
• Meta > Hacks
When they tell you you'll be rich by cutting out avocado toast and coffee, while taking cold showers, they're selling hacks.
People who are wealthy don't do hacks, they focus on improving their thinking.
To succeed in life, improve your thinking.
• Pareto Principle
80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts.
Figure out the right areas to focus on and make that your priority.
This is why you can watch Netflix, eat avocado toast and drink Starbucks and still be a millionaire,
If you focused on the right 20%.
• Know --> Plan --> Do
You can achieve whatever you want if you follow these three steps:
• Know what you want
• Understand what it takes
• Do the work. Day in. Day out
It really is that simple, and remember,
a crap map is better than no map.
• Build your Get Shit Done Muscle
Nothing matters more than this. Nothing.
When you've never achieved hard things, everything seems scary.
When you've done an Ironman or an Ultramarathon, everything seems easy.
Start small. Take a first step. Do harder things, regularly.
• Mind - Shut up
We think we are done before we are.
Your mind. Your body. They will tell you to quit. That you're exhausted and can't go on.
Learn to tell them to shut up.
You have a job to do.
Keep going until you're done.
You don't want to do it again, do you?
• Consistency is King
Once you press go,
do not stop.
Smart choices + consistency + time = exponential results.
Get the flywheel turning and then keep it turning ever forward.
• Be in the Right Room
You will become wealthy by learning from wealthy people.
Get in the right rooms.
You will become wealthy when your friends are focused on becoming wealthy.
Build the right circle.
You are who you surround yourself with.
• Invest in Yourself
Wealthy people never stop learning:
• Books
• Coaches
• Online courses
• Business teachers
They spend money to make money.
The average person focuses on the $5,000 cost,
but the wealthy person focuses on the $50,000 they will make from it.
• Focus on Rare Skills
People focus on in-demand skills, instead,
focus on Rare Skills.
Rare skills are a combo of multiple skill-sets that mix into a super-power,
such as an accountant who:
• Understands leadership
• Is a public speaker
• Is a strong writer
• Automate Life
We make 35,000 decisions a day.
This can often lead to decision fatigue, which means you will make bad decisions.
If you automate good decisions, it prevents mistakes.
• Automated investing
• Payroll savings deductions
Remove as many decisions as you can.
• The Law of Action
People focus on the law of action, which is a mistake.
Instead, focus on your actions.
Every day, commit to getting the work done. The work you identified in your 20%.
• Exponential Thinking
People think incrementally about life.
They think if you invest each month, you'll incrementally improve,
not realizing at some point compounding will drive exponential results.
Small smart choices + consistency + time = exponential results.
• Radical Ownership
Nothing matters more than owning your own shit.
Nobody is going to write you a cheque.
They aren't going to do your work for you.
They aren't going to run a marathon for you.
Own your shit.
• Ignore Them
At first,
They will laugh at you
Then they will make fun of
After a while they'll ask you questions
Later, they will tell everyone they knew you
You will only get to the last step if you learn to ignore the haters.
• Growth Mindset
Some people think learning ends when you graduate.
They never read a book again.
They don't listen to podcasts, take courses, or do self-devleopment.
This is a fixed mindset.
To succeed, have a growth mindset, and realize you're never done learning.
• Abundant Mindset
Some think there isn't enough to go around, that
if you win, they lose.
They can't give you a piece of the pie, because it means less pie for them.
This is a scarcity mindset, and
it leads to failure and sadness.
If you have an abundant mindset, you think:
If you win, I win.
Let's make a bigger pie, together, and share in its rewards.
This leads to success, friendships and happiness.
• The Law of Choice
Everything we do in life is a choice.
If we stay in a job we don't like, it's a choice.
If we are in a relationship we don't like, it's a choice.
There are consequences to changing those situations and that is a choice we make.
Make the right choices.
• Life Happens For You
People who fail think life happens to them.
People who succeed realize life is happening for them.
Even in the darkness, or the worst situations, they think:
• What can I learn from this
• How can I be better from this
• Failure as Feedback
Unsuccessful people are afraid of failing.
When you're afraid of failing, you won't take action and that leads to failure.
Successful people redefine failure as feedback and take action.
They recognize the more feedback you get the more you'll succeed.
TL;DR:
To succeed, improve your thinking:
• Action
• Choices
• Automate
• Ignore haters
• Pareto principle
• Know - Plan - Do
• Think exponentially
• Have a growth mindset
• Have an abundant mindset
• Take radical ownership of life
• Build your Get Shit Done muscle
