The people who preach retirement often say money won't make you happy. Yet, they sacrifice all their time so that at the end of their lives, they can leave their self-made prison and live happily because they finally have enough money to do so.

I’m convinced success lies on the other side of persistence.

Your brand isn’t what you think it is. Your brand isn’t what you think it is. Your brand is: - What your audience thinks it is - What your buyers think it is - What your dog thinks it is (especially that last one) A brand isn’t a personal opinion, it’s a reputation.

Optimists and pessimists are equally realistic. And if that’s a good or a bad thing depends on whether you think it’s a good or a bad thing.

Do it for cars and women. “But materialistic things won’t make you happy.” Perhaps not, but why deny yourself a source of motivation? The odds are already against you. No need to make it even harder.

How to become more creative: Practise finding answers without looking up answers. People are scared of artificial intelligence when they should be more scared of the artificial stupidity they have brought upon themselves.

Your content doesn’t perform because it isn’t persuasive enough. Here’s Dan Koe’s persuasiveness framework I used to organically grow my total audience from 0 to 500+ followers in 1 month:

The #1 “success-hack” is to see yourself as destined to have what you desire. “Where the mind goes, reality follows.”

I don’t want to drive a Ferrari. I want the freedom to work with what I want, when I want, wherever I want, with whomever I want. (and make heaps doing so lol)

The #1 mistake I see creators make: Writing painless posts. If your content doesn’t agitate a pain in the reader, their mind won’t recognize it as relevant, and they won’t read it. Pain drives action.

The social proof from a large, engaged audience is unmatched. Nothing screams authority like thousands hanging on your every word.

The easiest way to become the #1 expert in a field is to be in the field of your past self.

I waited years to start my personal brand. ”I’m not of any value.” ”I don’t have anything to share.” ”I have to accomplish something first.” I eventually started despite these objections plaguing my mind. Now I just regret not starting sooner.

Your brand is weak because your confidence is. - Speak in absolutes - Say what you want to say - Believe in yourself, and show it No one wants to follow someone who doesn’t sound confident or can’t pick a side. Success loves conviction.

If you think you don’t need a personal brand in the upcoming years, you’re in for a bumby ride.

There’s nothing stopping you from living the life you want to live, having the things you want to have, and being the person you want to be. But this is only true once you realise it is.

Most I started with have quit. On X. In the gym. In business. People are letting go of their dreams everywhere. It’s heartbreaking. But it goes to show how many you beat just by staying in the game. Your competition is falling all around you. You’ll win if you just outlast them. Persist.

The people who win understand what they want and how much they want it.

If your profile doesn’t convert, check your bio. Make sure it: - Says what you do - Says what you post about - Gives off the general vibe of your brand Bringing people to a non-converting profile is like pouring water into a broken bucket — Pointless.

A fundemental human mistake: Always calculating the consequences of change, never calculating the consequences of staying the same.

I’ve grown the most when I’ve been in pain. - Pained by my slow progress - Pained by my situation - Pained by my fear When in pain, we are forced to change, unlike if we’re at peace. Feel the pain. Act on it. Grow. Pain is not a curse. It’s a blessing.
