I turned 30 this week.

So here’s 30 lessons I hold onto closely.

Cheesy? Maybe.

Do I care? Learned not to.

Here we go ⬇️
1 / 30

Perception is reality. So choose your perspectives wisely.
2 / 30

Discipline matters more than talent.

Execution matters more than innovation.
3 / 30

Easy success does much more harm than good.
4 / 30

There’s zero benefit to knowing what celebrities are up to.
5 / 30

The moment we think we know something is the moment we need to question ourselves.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a scary and ironic reality.
6 / 30

Our perception of risk changes when we see the bigger picture.
7 / 30

The moment we blame external circumstances for an outcome is when we lose ownership of our lives.
8 / 30

All the "secrets" to success have been out for centuries.

We just don't want to accept it.
9 / 30

In the end, nobody cares what you do.

So do something you care about.
10 / 30

Reading a few articles doesn't give you knowledge.

It gives you knowledge about someone's perspective.
11 / 30

Relying on mainstream media for truth is like relying on a Raptors reporter for NBA updates.
12 / 30

The world is abundant and scarce at the same time.

The good news is you get to choose which one it is.
13 / 30

If you make excuses, 99% of people will agree with you.

Ask yourself if that's what you really want.
14 / 30

If you're not moving forward, you're falling backwards.

There's no such thing as stagnation when you're going uphill.
15 / 30

It we want extraordinary results, we need to take extraordinary action.

And the bar for "extraordinary" is lower than we think.
16 / 30

People love giving their 2 cents from the bleachers.

Mess with people on the field. Block out the rest.
17 / 30

Confidence truly matters. It can make or break you.
18 / 30

You can't control the outcome. But you can control your inputs.

Focus on what you can control. The rest isn't up to you.
19 / 30

Create more than you consume.

It'll lead you to places you wouldn't have dreamed of.
20 / 30

Always reason from first principles.

( @farnamstreet & @ShaneAParrish)
21 / 30

The moment you let emotions control your actions, you lose.
22/ 30

You're a product of small, daily actions.

Not big, occasional swings every two months.
23 / 30

Never make decisions when you're angry or upset.
24 / 30

Don't be afraid to dream big.

Don't be surprised when they put you down.
25 / 30

Talent is overrated.

Curiosity is underrated.
26 / 30

There's infinite ways to make money.

We've just been conditioned that 9-5 is the right way.
27 / 30

There's zero benefit to having a scarcity mindset.
28 / 30

We all go through BS. Finding common ground is easier than we think.
29 / 30

Judging people based on anything other than character is fatal.
30 / 30

Find signals in a world of noise if you want focus.
Appreciate every single one of you for supporting me & following along.

Here's to a strong rest of the year.

We're all gonna make it 💪🙏🥂
