It's the environment, stupid!
|
When healthy food is available and junk food isn’t, you eat better. When your phone’s in greyscale and you delete social apps, you look at your phone less. When you set up automatic transfers to your savings account, you save more. ​ This is not me. It’s science. ​ It’s not just willpower. It’s not just discipline. ​ Your environment does set the rules. ​ When you set up the scene, you model your willpower. ​ Do you want to do more exercise? Prepare your clothes, your shoes… or create a gym at home… make it impossible to miss. No distractions? Send your mobile phone to hell, disconnect internet, put your favourite playlist… ​ Habits and environments. That simple. ​ No wonder why if you stick around successful people, you tend to be successful yourself. You enter in an environment that favours success. And if you stick around complainers, weak people with not that great mindset… you’ll become one of them. ​ Here you are something, I learned by sticking with successful people, create an environment and try things myself. ​Is this piece of real estate a good investment​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

I’m going to give you 50% of the solution to any problem you have. I’m going to tell you what your biggest obstacle is. And just knowing that is already half the solution — because only when you know who your enemy is, can you fight it. And I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking it’s money — if only you had more. Or time — you don’t have enough. Knowledge — that one thing you still need to learn. Charisma, intelligence, or beauty — not enough of it. That thing you need to finish or fix,...
Today I bring you a true story. Or at least, it was told to me as a true story. And even if it wasn’t, the learning is huge. Well… Some time ago, a Filipino fisherman found a deformed pearl. Deformed and huge. It was so strange and so misshapen that he kept it as a good luck charm. And so big that the only place he could store it was under his bed. The thing weighed 34 kilos. Yes… 34 kilos or 75 pounds. One day, ten years later, our Filipino friend just discovered that the pearl was worth 100...
I'm sure you’ve been told this story before. But I don’t care. You need to hear it every day. A North Korean fisherman got distracted in the fog and drifted too close to the South Korean coast. How could he know that? Well… He realized it when his radio picked up a station he didn’t recognize… and… and… They were telling a joke! Yes, a joke. It was about two neighbors fighting over a parking spot. The fisherman laughed. How could there possibly be so many cars that parking would be a problem?...
