Success is 1% planning and 99% adherence.
Most people can plan.
Few can stick.
That’s why resolutions die by February.
The real enemy isn’t the crowd saying you can’t do it.
It’s the voice in your head that agrees with them.
Becoming a meth addict was all on me.
Building a $500m company was all on me.
The difference wasn’t chance. It was ownership.
You can't fix what you don't own.
Business is simple:
1. Make a profit (business model).
2. Reinvest the profit in the highest ROI initiatives to make more profit.
3. Watch the snowball.
Most people never get to step one - or if they do, they waste profit on dumb stuff instead of doubling down on step two.
‘Net worth’ is the worst phrase ever coined.
Your internal worth has nothing to do with your external wealth.
If you passed away, there's a handful of people who'd care longer than a week.
Yet, we neglect those, and spend all our time trying to impress the others.
The hardest work I did from meth addict to $400m CEO was the work I did on myself.
Other work was mostly a distraction to avoid the real work.
People stay in their comfort zone to avoid the shame of failure.
But failure isn’t avoidable - it’s the only way to learn.
Shame on the other hand, is avoidable, and it's 100% in our minds.
Everyone feels like they suck when they fail.
I've felt like it thousands of times (I've failed that much).
The difference is some people get back up, learn from it, and go again.
Others don't get back up ONLY because they let their mind win that battle.
Lack of confidence comes from trying to be ‘someone’ because it tells your subconscious that who you are isn’t enough.
Whenever I feel unconfident, I ask myself, ‘Who am I trying to be?’.
That brings me back to myself, and confidence flows naturally.
You're already enough.
True confidence is the ultimate success weapon.
But you'll never be truly confident until you belong.
And you'll never belong until you feel worthy.
The cruel joke is that you've always been worthy - you just believed the lies that you're not.
My mum always used to tell me "don't leave for tomorrow what you can do today".
I didn't get the point, but I realise now it's key to success.
It's easy to slack off instead of doing high impact work, but it's the extra that gets you ahead while everyone else is messing around.
