1. Get yourself out there
You may have "the next big thing," but that won't ever be executed unless you meet people.
Get yourself out there, expose yourself to more situations, and get some experience!
You can only read so many books, start DOING.

2. Find more like-minded individuals
Stop trying to run a one-man show.
Everyone wants to be successful,
But your success is determined by working with others that propel.
"Your net worth is your network."

3. Your health is your wealth
Get sick and your productivity falls out the window.
Get injured and you're immobile.
Stop taking advantage of your health, start taking care of it!

4. You NEED to work out, no IFs or BUTs 
When did humans stop exercising?
We’re SUPPOSED to move, even in the office.
Stop finding reasons to not get your body moving,
Because it's necessary for us.

5. Be grateful 
Life sometimes feels like it moves too slow.
One thing you have to understand is that you're slowly learning each and every day.
Start cherishing your small victories and peers.
Happiness is found in the process, not the outcome.

6. Get really freaking good at one skill
You don't need to be good at everything.
Just get really freaking good at one skill,
So you can offer value to the world.

7. Learn to slow down 
Life moves extremely fast.
Learn to slow down, audit your days, and realize what you've accomplished.
This has to do with being grateful as well, you realize how much more fun the journey is.

8. One foot at a time 
My biggest mistake in life was skipping step 1 and moving onto steps 5, 6, and 7.
Be sequential, don't skip steps!
You are never rushed in life, don't think you have to be successful after 3 months!

9. Start building habits, ASAP
No matter if it's for health reasons or getting closer to your goals,
Habits are extremely important.
They are essentially the makeup of the person you want to become.
Habits first, results will come second.

10. Be a creator, not a reader
Start getting yourself out there.
Most people are extremely talented but will never start showing that to the world.
Start sharing with others what you have to offer!

11. You are nothing without your supporters
Start appreciating your parents,
Your friends,
Your mentors,
And everyone else who has had an impact on your life.
You never know if you have a tomorrow, so let them know today.

12. Do NOT play the comparing game
If you work with others, stop trying to play the game of responsibilities.
If you're in a relationship, don't try to have responsibilities of who does what.
If someone is lacking, pick them up.
Comparing will ruin you.

13. There is no such thing as a "balanced" lifestyle 
If you truly want something, you have to go all-in.
Counterbalance by just touching base once in a while, but you cannot be Superman.
Slow down and focus on one task at a time, then move on.

14. Drop people who bring negativity to your life
Say no to:
News
Shit talkers
Manipulative people
It is NOT worth keeping those people around in your life.

15. Less is more
You may think that you have to be:
Working 12 hours a day
Exercising 7 days a week
Eating healthy 100% of the time
But you don't!
Rest, recovery, and auditing is just as much of the process!

16. You will have down days 
Life challenges you sometimes, but it's all part of the process.
Do not be down and quit just because you've been hit with a roadblock, learn to stick with it!
I've been on Twitter for 7 months now - it has definitely been a rocky road.

17. Aiming for perfection is aiming to never start
My biggest mistake, by far.
I was too scared to commit because I thought I needed to know everything.
Understand that everyone is learning, even Elon Musk!
Just start!!

18. Do NOT live for others' approval
Life is about discovering YOURSELF.
Nothing else.
Do not chase other people's acceptance or approval, start doing it for yourself.
Life will be 10x more enjoyable!

19. Do NOT be pigeonholed to one area of skill
If you like Nutrition, Habits, Fitness, Investing, Copywriting, Web Design, etc.,
Don't think you have to stick with one thing.
Get really good at one, then start learning more!

20. This may get controversial, but family is everything
Blood is blood.
Raised from an Asian background, family is everything.
Prior to COVID, we would see each other every week.
They are everything you've got, so cherish them.

21. Do not listen to outside noise
Just because you see other people succeeding or progressing faster than you,
Do NOT let that deter you from sticking to your path.
You have to stick to your own strategy, not follow fool's gold.

22. Partner with great people, not people that fit a skillset.
Not many people understand this.
If you look to hire for a skillset, you get burned not knowing the person.
If you look for great people who are honest, you will always find success together.
