The sentence that kills dreams
|
"I’m doing well enough" or "I’m OK as I’m now" or… you know those words. ​ Those sounds spited by some mouths touch my b*lls more than listening to a politician for 1 minute. ​ Those sentences never come from people who have all their needs and desires met. No. You won’t hear that from Elon Musk or Warren Buffet. Not way. ​ Those sentences come from people who check supermarket receipts, scrutinize bills, and choose dishes at restaurants based on price. ​ Those sentences don’t come from people who could walk around naked if they wanted to. No. They come from people who have to dress the way they’re told or expected to, to go to the places they’re told to be, at the times they’re told to go. ​ “I’m doing well enough” means many things, but none of them is actually “I’m doing well enough.” ​ It means, “I don’t think I can do more,” for sure. And, “I don’t know if I’m good enough.” ​ It means, “I don’t deserve more,” and, “I feel guilty.” Both of those. ​ And above all, it means, “What if it doesn’t go well?” ​ It also means, “After everything it took to get here, how could I risk it now?” ​ And, “The mere thought gives me diarrhea.” ​ It means all those things and more. ​ “I’m doing well enough” is possibly the most destructive phrase in the universe for dreams, for freedom, and for wealth. ​ Over a 40% return in 13-14 months is not well enough for me. It will never be. Today, it’s the last day. Buy it now, or miss it forever. I’m retiring this course for good. You’ll never have it if you don’t buy it today. ​Invest better than 99% of people... including fund managers​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

Doing things different to the rest of people around you will send you to different places. I’m not saying Cook Island, Vanuatu, Fiji… some of my last trips, but “other places”. You’ll get sued. You’ll sue someone. You’ll get robbed. You’ll make amazing friends. You’ll meet incredible people and partners. You’ll grow… faster than “the rest”. You’ll become smarter, calmer, more focused… faster than the rest, by the way. Be around people that you admire will push you closer to that people…...
Holidays in Spain are great. Workout, breakfast, work, lunch, work, diner, work. Making progress. Selling one project. Finishing another. Getting finance for another one. Life is good. Work is good. Because of focus and passion. When you get clarify about what you want to achieve… things start to flow. I see many people I mentor with lack of clarity. They jump from one shiny object to the next. From one project to the next. From one position to the next. From one company to the next. Never...
Multitasking kills more dreams than a nearby disco with reggaeton. Focus is everything. This is why there are so many people, companies and politicians competing for yours. Distracting you. Keeping you down… unfocused. News, sales, offers, “favours”. They arrive from everywhere with the only objective of grabbing your attention. When you are managing a project, for example, having many open fronts is a terrible distraction. You end unable to differentiate the urgent from the important, the...
