Kautsar Ikrami's Key Ideas from How to Make Sh*t Happen
by Sean Whalen

CORE 4 represents something unique about your life.

1. Power (body).
2. Passion (relationship).
3. Purpose (mind).
4. Production (business).

• Your body represents your physical presence.
• The relationship represents how you interact with everyone around you: family, friends, and environment.
• The mind is about how you must positively view things, embrace life's values, and fill yourself with helpful knowledge.
• Your business involves your income and financial security.

Having a fit body is an absolute necessity.

You have no excuse for not being fit.

Your body is what hugs your kids, takes you to work, gets you intimate with your partner, and gives you the luxury to enjoy everything you’ve worked for.

Get fit, in shape, and have a clear mind by:

• Exercising & hiring a personal trainer.
• Always. Having. A. Plan.
• Eating only nutritious food.
• Finding/committing to an accountability partner.

Nothing kills growth more than being in a bad relationship. It extends to harbouring resentments, anger, sadness, etc.

You can learn to do these:

1. Replace negative words with positive reactions.
2. When someone offends you, walk away. Make your feelings known without a confrontation.
3. Be more appreciative.

Your mind is your power to make decisions.

You cannot control the thoughts that come to your mind, but you can control your reactions to them.

The best way to train your mind well is to start every day with positivity.

Schedule a morning routine by paying attention on:

• what you’ll do when you wake up,
• what you’ll read today,
• what content you’ll consume, and
• who are the people you’ll talk to first.

Most people unintentionally substitute their family for a job, thereby losing a bigger part of themselves.

There are two ways out of such a situation:

1. You give up and lose everything.
2. You hire a CORE 4 coach and work things out nicely.

Hiring a coach doesn’t make you a weakling or a stupid person.

All the best athletes and great people in the world have at least, a coach. Some have multiple coaches, and if they can, you can too.

Now that you understand CORE 4; create your happiness!

1. Quit your job if it doesn’t make you happy.
2. Stay away from people that bring lousy energy to you.
3. Approach every day with positivity.
4. Look forward to every challenge with a determination to win.
5. Appreciate more and complain less.
