I had a few tears watching this.
I used to be an addict. Nearly took my life.
This should be mandatory watching in every school.
It’s meant to be f*cking hard.
You’ve got to be terrified of becoming mediocre to become successful. Mediocrity is a great motivator because once you see the struggle low performers face you realize you never want to be one of them. And so you do the work and put in insane effort to avoid being average.

If I were in my 30s or 40s and had 120 days to hit $20K/month or die, here’s exactly what I’d do:
1. Start a faceless Youtube channel and automate content creation & posting with AI.
Not trying to save your way to wealth is the highest level of maturity.

The ADHD urge to work on a business and suddenly a year has passed and you’re a millionaire.
As an entrepreneur, I still think modern college is utterly useless.
Being insanely obsessed is a bigger status symbol than driving a Lambo.
Poor people collect information. Rich people are obsessed with execution.
Getting wealthy is actually normal, but most people overcomplicate it and call it investing which they’ll start doing one day.
How to tell if you've found your obsession:
• You get stuck in 4-12 hour flow states
• You cheat on your real career with it
• You desire to hit the top 1% in your field
• You love making content about it
• You tell everyone about it
• You work on it at 12am
• Some nights you can't sleep
• Your work doesn't feel like work
• People say "You've changed, man."
• You have a sense of urgency
• You act like a psychopath
Obsession will completely change your life in a year. Once you find it, it consumes you.
