What I've learnt today:
1. LEARN, LEARN, LEARN.
There are so many things you don't know, that would help you so much. If you don't expose yourself to information and broaden the perception with which you observe the world, you will act based on faulty principles, make wrong decisions and live a sub optimal life. I see my brother, because he has not been exposed to intense work ethic, he has no intense work ethic. 20 minutes half assed effort is a lot to him, because that's what he's used to.
What I will do with this lesson: READ A TON and listen to podcasts (I reccomend The Game by Alex Hormozi [Busines duh], Modern Wisdom [Super varied, super interesting], The Cru Mahoney podcast [Self improvement, ABSOLUTE GOLD] )
2. Is success what you think it is?
It is incredibly difficult to achieve success, However, blindly pursuing some abstract concept of success is even worse than not pursuing it all. If you don't define your own definition of success, you will chase something you don't even know will make you happy and fulfilled. If you don't commit to the undefined success, you'll just constantly fail and grow self-bitter, if you do pursue and achievethe undefined "success" you won't be fulfilled, content or happy - AND you will have been commited, and have had to sacrificed much, wihtout a result you actually want.
3. PASSION + Product/Market fit is a delusion.
My brother is "starting" (he goes around daily and daydreams about a clothing brand, but never takes action towards it. he says he's "planning") a clothing brand. but he has no business education. THE NEED HE IS BUILDING ON, IS HIS OWN FOR HAVING SOMETHING HE CAN BE PROUD OF. NOT SOMETHING ANYONE ELSE WANTS TO BUY. He believes that he somehow - he lacks artistic skills - can create such unique clothes that it will make him a multimillionaire. YES, I've tried to get him to read TMF countless times, but no, his "business" idea is just a passion.
It is SUPER difficult finding away to actually make a fastlane business out of your passion. Therefore: your pasion should be for the entrepreneurial journey or the freedom it gives you - not the business itself.
4. COMMUNITY.
I have pretty much neglected this. I have been focused on myself so much, that I havn't been open to oppurtunities to connect. Now I realize it's amazing to have like-minded people by your side. Was wondering if anyone would want to connect, talk about our plans, lives, businesses etc. Just send a dm.
