Your main focus is to keep your mind fixed on improving your personal finances and achieving financial independence.

Think BIG But Start Small

Keep your vision in mind, but start wherever you are.

Work back from the future to the present. Make a list of the logical steps, in order, that you need to take to get from where you are to where you want to be. Then figure out what big or small action you can take today.

“It’s lonely at the top. 99% of people are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for mediocre. The level of competition is thus fiercest for ‘realistic’ goals, paradoxically making them the most competitive.”

Most people hate failure...

One of the hardest things in life is to know when to keep going and when to move on. On the one hand, perseverance and grit are key to achieving success in any field. Anyone who masters their craft will face moments of doubt and somehow find the inner resolve to keep going.

Key Ideas

Telling someone to never give up is terrible advice

Successful people give up all the time. If something is not working, smart people don’t repeat it endlessly. They revise. They adjust. They quit.

Just like the saying goes...

The 3 Stages of Failure

Failure of Tactics - the HOW mistakes: failure to execute on a good plan and a clear vision.
Failure of Strategy - the WHAT mistakes: when you follow a strategy that fails to deliver the results you want.
Failure of Vision - the WHY mistakes: failing to understand why you do the things you do.

Fixing a Failure of Tactics

Record your process.
Measure your outcomes.
Review and adjust your tactics.
