From bank fees to interest rates to miracle
diets, people who are not educated are easier
to get money from and easier to lead. Educate
yourself as much as possible for wealth,
independence, and happiness.
2. Do not have faith in institutions to
educate you. By the time they build the
curriculum, it’s likely that the system is
outdated– sometimes utterly broken. You both
learn and get respect from people worth
getting it from by leading and doing, not by
following.
3. Read as much as you can. Learn to speed
read with high retention. Emerson Spartz
taught me this while I was at a Summit Series
event. If he reads 2-3 books a week, you can
read one.
4. Connect with everyone, all the time. Be
genuine about it. Learn to find something you
like in each person, and then speak to that
thing.
5. Don’t waste time being shy. Shyness is
the belief that your emotions should be the
arbitrators of your decision making process
when the opposite is actually true .
6. If you feel weird about something during
a relationship, that’s usually what you end
up breaking up over.
7. Have as much contact as possible with
older people. Personally, I met people at
Podcamps. My friend Greg, at the age of 13,
met his first future employer sitting next to
him on a plane. The reason this is so valuable
is because people your age don’t usually have
the decision-making ability to help you very
much. Also they know almost everything you
will learn later, so ask them.
8. Find people that are cooler than you and
hang out with them too. This and the corollary
are both important: “don’t attempt to be
average inside your group. Continuously
attempt to be cooler than them (by doing
cooler things, being more laid back, accepting,
ambitious, etc.).”
9. You will become more conservative over
time. This is just a fact. Those you surround
yourself with create a kind of “bubble” that
pushes you to support the status quo. For this
reason, you need to do your craziest stuff
NOW. Later on, you’ll become too afraid. Trust
me.
10. Reduce all expenses as much as
possible. I mean it. This creates a safety net
that will allow you to do the crazier shit I
mentioned above.
11. Instead of getting status through
objects (which provide only temporary boosts)
, do it through experiences . In other words,
a trip to Paris is a better choice than a new
wardrobe. Studies show this also boosts
happiness.
12. While you are living on the cheap, solve
the money problem. Use the internet,
because it’s like a cool little machine that
helps you do your bidding. If you are currently
living paycheck to paycheck, extend that to
three weeks instead of two. Then, as you get
better, you can think a month ahead, then
three months, then six, and finally a year
ahead. (The goal is to get to a point where you
are thinking 5 years ahead.)
13. Learn to program.
Not only the web,but your time and events.
14. Get a six-pack (or get thin, whatever your
goal is) while you are young . Your hormones
are in a better place to help you do this at a
younger age. Don’t waste this opportunity,
trust me.
15. Learn to cook. This will make everything
much easier and it turns food from a chore +
expensive habit into a pleasant + frugal one.
I’m a big Jamie Oliver fan, but whatever you
like is fine.
16. Sleep well. This and cooking will help with
the six pack. If you think “I can sleep when I’m
dead” or “I have too much to do to sleep,” I
have news for you: you are INEFFICIENT, and
sleep deprivation isn’t helping.
17. Get a reminder app for everything. Do
not trust your own brain for your memory. Do
not trust it for what you “feel like” you should
be doing. Trust only the reminder app. I use
RE.minder and Action Method.
18. Choose something huge to do , as well as
allowing the waves of opportunity to help you
along. If you don’t set goals , some stuff may
happen, but if you do choose, lots more will.
19. Get known for one thing. Spend like 5
years doing it instead of flopping around all
over the place. If you want to shift afterwards,
go ahead. Like I said, choose something.
20. Don’t try to “fix” anyone. Instead, look
for someone who isn’t broken.
Those are just but a few ,
