7. Having a savings account can give you the freedom to change your life.
I've taken the last four months off of academics.
Having a savings account allowed me to do that without needing to get a job.
I got to focus 100% of my energy of improving myself.
Build yours today.

8. Relationships are the most valuable thing you own, besides a growth mindset.
Your mindset is the most important thing to grow, but everyone goes through times that are more than they alone can handle.
You relationships will carry you through those times.

9. Learn how to manufacture serendipity.
Serendipity is life giving you something you didn't realize you need.
You can't control when you receive these gifts.
But you can become more attractive to them.
Do things that connect you with as many people as possible.

10. If you do the right actions consistently over time, good things will happen.
Deciding what those right actions are is a game of experimentation and discovery.
When something feels right though,
"repify" the actions,
and put in your sets daily
