You have to revive your child-like curiosity, feel into it, and let it guide you throughout life. Some people use the words intuition, your “calling,” your purpose, or anything else that refers to tapping into the intelligent voice inside you (that everyone is born with).

A good place to st...

It is the simple commitment to never rely on anything but yourself to actualize your potential.

Money is no longer optional. The need for money is encoded in the system. We don’t live in huts or hunt our own food anymore. Our psyche remains the same — wired for survival — but the environmen...

Being a specialist can be trained. We are not trying to do something that others can be trained into.

As you dive deeper into these interests, you will realize that they all lead to the same thing — which is life itself. The universe is a giant mind. A network of complex and creative system...

Find a congruent voice that you can learn from.

You may or may not get useful information from someone who talks strictly about business.

Search for books, social media accounts, podcasters, YouTubers, and any other information you can find on your topic of interest. If what they teac...

Kickstart a personal brand to post your learnings online. That alone will force you to understand money-making skills if you want to see real progress. Copywriting, marketing, persuasion, sales, etc are all necessary to put out an impactful message and turn your interests into income.

Once the principles are solidified in your head and you are actively struggling/failing with your real-world project — you will start to recognize patterns in everyday life.

Creating content brings an entirely new sense of enjoyment to life. Pattern recognition increases dopamine levels in ...

As you dive deeper into your Domain Of Mastery, it will demand a certain amount of cognitive development to reach the next “stage.”

When you reach this first stage, you are ready to start monetizing.

Your job is to help people reach that stage of development faster than you did with w...

By helping others reach that developmental stage that you have (whether it’s free or paid) you are forced to organize the information and make connections.

This will open up the room to reach your next developmental stage faster.

When you have everything you’ve made sense of packaged ...

If you question your beliefs enough, you end up with nothing but the pieces of a game. You end up with an understanding that everything that we can make sense of with words is a human construct that does not have a base of absolute truth.

It is rare to see somebody that is living a passionate, zestful life.

It is rarer to see somebody that willingly “works” all day.

Building, writing, contemplating, curious, experiencing, diving deep into the unknown, and meditating on the problems that keep them up at night.

Som...

Diving real deep into a particular interest is how you pursue a truly unique path.

Your curiosity would eventually lead you to something that seems completely unrelated to your the interest you initially chose. This differentiates you from the sea of individuals pursuing a set path — giving...

If you are intentional and actively expanding your awareness in search of your life’s work, you will find it.

Here are two questions to meditate on:

• What is the BIG problem you want to solve in the world? The one that keeps you up at night.
• What is the BIG problem you wa...

The Domain Of Mastery has you choose 3 interests: What excites you, what lets you earn, and what develops you.

By studying these and improving your skillset, you are diving deeper into the unknown. You are exposing yourself to information that schools won’t teach you.

The thing that m...

When you learn Photoshop, aside from knowing how to navigate the software, there are only a few things you need to know — the principles.

Selections, masks, and adjustment layers.

When you understand those, you can pretty much create anything you would need (unless th...

States are temporary.

Stages are permanent.

You can have a high month in business — which is a state — but it may not be maintained month to month.

But, if you develop your business leverage to a point where it’s near impossible to dip under $20K a month, that is a stage.

• They don’t take themselves or their message seriously. They are too afraid of external judgement, it dilutes their message, and they get stuck in a developmental stage.
• They are too focused on the money. This is fine at first, but given time leads to a lack of meaning and fulfilment ...

• Choose 3 interests that you are genuinely curious about.
• Begin studying them via books and online content from a congruent voice that you are excited to learn with.
• Build a real-world project and do not suppress the problems that come up. YOU will need to change at some point...
