You would think that it gets easier at the top, but it’s the opposite. The successful follow principles that the unsuccessful ignore. This is exactly why those at the top are playing on hard mode and those at the bottom are playing on easy mode – like it or not.

CONSEQUENCES
Some actions have immediate consequences. When you put your hand in a flame, it burns – immediately. Some take longer to manifest. When you constantly eat unhealthy food you won’t get obese overnight, it happens after a while. But it will surely happen.

NO SHORTCUTS
There are no shortcuts in life. There are no hacks. Somebody has to pay the price – in full. Its either you pay the full price for what you want or hope somebody does it for you. If you get lucky before you hit 80 somebody just might.

TIMES CHANGE, PEOPLE DON’T
The most basic lesson history has taught us is that times change, but people remain the same. Human emotions, desire, greed, lust for power, the craving for attention, love, and importance. Humans remain the same.

DARKNESS IS IN ALL
Everybody has a dark side, and those who deny this have the darkest sides. There is always a bit of darkness in all. Know this, and be not deceived. Some can be manipulated easily, others require more. Know who you’re dealing with, use this to your advantage.

COMPOUND INTEREST
An empire built in a day lasts for a day. The most important things come from compound interest. If you want it to last, there must be blood, sweat, and pain. This applies to everything, wealth, power, love, friendship, etcetera.

PEOPLE THINK OF THEMSELVES, NOT YOU
They give to charity hoping to feel better about themselves. They donate their blood to make some money for themselves. 99% of the time if you ask enough WHYS, the reason will be traced back to the doer – about them.

MOST DESCRIPTIONS ARE EXCUSES
You’d be surprised how many descriptions are excuses. MOTIVATION is an excuse to not do something until a series of random events ‘make you feel like doing it.’ BUSY is an excuse for ‘I don’t want this/I don’t want you.’ Now, do the math.

MOMENTUM
If you start and stop, you’ll be in a worst place than you were before starting. In the realm of power, this will be because you would have made more enemies than you had before starting (who are not particularly interested in knowing whether you quit the game or not)

With money, you might have more responsibilities than you had before starting, and now the money isn’t coming in or comes in less than it’s supposed to. When working out, every time you stop (say for 2-3 months) your muscles lose a little bit of their muscular strength.
This means your maximum achievable peak strength comes one more step down. When you start, never stop. You have to play the game to the end. Never lose momentum.
HONESTY TO THYSELF
A thief that acknowledges to himself that he is a thief is more likely to succeed than one who tells himself he’s just hungry and that he’s not a thief. Also, a thief that acknowledges his status is more likely to work towards getting out of it.

BLEND IN
They say when in Rome behave like the Romans. A king that goes to farm with the farmers gains nothing but disdain for flaunting his kingly status. When with them, be like them.

EQUALITY IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY
There will always be someone willing to outwork everybody else. There will always be those at the top and those at the bottom. There will always be those of superior intellect. There will always be leaders and followers. Equality is a myth.

LEVERAGE
Here’s how leverage works: as an artist, you cannot sell a million copies of your track by hand-to-hand sales because even if you sold a copy every hour, it would take you about 113 years to sell them all – but artists sell more than that every year.

This is why some people will never be rich because they fail to understand the concept of leverage.
POWER > MONEY
This is the simplest math you will ever need to learn. Power > Money, because money is a means to power – whether it is purchasing power or influential power. You wouldn’t need money if you had the power to do and get whatever you wanted.

CHANGE IS CONSTANT, REMAIN DYNAMIC
What gets you from A-B is not necessarily what will get you from B-C. If it were we wouldn’t have millionaires, multimillionaires, billionaires, and multibillionaires. Remain dynamic. Learn the new rules for every stage, adapt, and attack.

THE MINDSET COMES BEFORE THE MANIFESTATION
When they say fake it till you make it, what they are really trying to say is behave the way you want to become. If you want to have abundance, act like you already live in abundance.

If you want to be a CEO, start managing your time like a CEO. If you believe getting a girlfriend will make you happy, become happy before getting a girlfriend.
IT DOESN’T GET EASIER, YOU GET STRONGER
Life never gets easier, the higher up you get the more difficult it becomes. Imagine playing a video game and hoping the boss level will be the easiest. Get stronger, get richer, and get tougher.

OBSESSION
If you want to be the best, you have to be obsessed. Be willing to make big sacrifices to get to the top, because if you’re not, someone else is. There will always be someone willing to put in more than you, so always be willing to put in more than feels necessary.

HABITS ARE REPLACED
You can’t destroy a habit, you can only replace it. Change your bad habits with those that further your mission. You can never create a vacuum in your life, something must fall in there. Choose what falls in, or let the world choose for you.

SACRIFICES
To build the kingdom, the warriors must bleed in battle. If you’re not willing to make sacrifices, you’re not ready to move up. Every stage requires some sort of sacrifice because the playing field is no longer the same as that of the previous stage.
