All about the energy: above the line or below the line…28all. Eya. *MS, PB* The Warm-Up: “The right person will make you fall in love three times: once with them, once with yourself, and once with life.” ~Anonymous The Core: “God enters through the wound.” ~Carl Jung “Time is money, but money is not time.” ~Naval Ravikant “Beginners do too much. Pros do only what is needed. The easiest way to spot a beginner is busy-ness.” ~Codie Sanchez “Making money and keeping money are two different skills, and your journey is going to be a lot harder until you realize this.” ~Chris Johnson “When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear.” ~Thomas Sowell “Bitcoin is how you protect your money, Ethereum is how you invest it, Solana is how you gamble it, and Zcash is how you spend it.” ~Naval Ravikant “Remember: Being busy means you have a lot on your plate. Being productive means you you’re getting stuff done. Money chases productive people.” ~Hakam “The secret is to be useful. Create. Design. Build. Write. Sell. Learn. Dissect. Hypothesize. Synthesize. Help. Contribute more value than you take. Don’t be a leech.” ~Dan Koe “Some mistakes are inevitable, and the more you delay them, the more future pain actually awaits you. Failures, rejections, setbacks, they are actually healthy for the long term.” ~Orange Book “There are two people in you. The one who talks and the one who listens. The one who talks is always changing. The one who listens is always the same. You are the one who listens.” ~Naval Ravikant “The greatest lie we tell ourselves is that we need someone else’s permission to become who we want to be. Here’s my advice: Play the game at a level of incredible excellence, build leverage, and then positively exploit that leverage forever.” ~Justin Welsh “The person who asks the most times gets the most. But, people don’t like to be asked. So you have to give more so you can earn the right to ask again. Winners win because they take more shots. But they only get those shots cuz they know how to get into scoring position.” ~Alex Hormozi “Listen, I can swim in a river. I can swim in an ocean. I cannot swim in a pool or a hot tub or sit on one because the water is stale. It doesn’t move. Everything that I enjoy has to have movement. I walk every day. Nothing is static.” ~Micky Malka, Building Ribbit on Invest Like The Best w/ Patrick O’Shaughnessy “One more thought about working hard: do it at the beginning of your career. Hard work compounds like interest, and the earlier you do it, the more time you have for the benefits to pay off. It’s also easier to work hard when you have fewer other responsibilities, which is frequently but not always the case when you’re young.” ~Sam Altman “Wanting and getting. Modern marketing culture is designed to amplify our desires. To turn faint wants into desperate needs. As a result, we’re intimately familiar with what we want. And we strive to get it. The problem with getting what you want is that now you have a hole, because you don’t want that thing anymore, you have it. We then are on a cycle, eager to find a new thing to want. Which means that the thing you used to want but now have fades in comparison. There’s a more resilient path: To commit to wanting what you have.” ~Seth Godin “I think it was Chip Kidd, the guy who did the Jurassic Park cover, who effectively said something like it’s a haiku all on one page or something. But it is basically the embodiment of the entire book within an image that lets you instantly understand what the book is trying to communicate in a way that compels you to pick it up and read the dang thing. When I say it, it sounds kind of mechanical because I’m not a designer and I don’t pretend to be one, but I’ve talked to enough designers to realize this is a real legit specialty. And it’s similar to YouTube, where [if you compare] the right thumbnail versus an average mediocre thumbnail that’s clearly been created in Canva by the producer of the video, the right thumbnail will outperform by a thousand X. And I’m not saying a cover will make or break a book. That’s not true. The book has to stand alone as a good product regardless of the cover.” ~Charlie Hoehn: Write a Book That Everyone Will Read on The Knowledge Project w/ Shane Parrish. Ep. 210 Last Set: “[Too] many of the Portal Young Men that’s looking & searching for the right situation. You’re gonna get vetted thoroughly by us and then I pray [you] know the difference of being offered a bag & being offered a BLESSING. Ask Grandma-nem what I mean. #CoachPrime ‘I Aint Hard 2 Find.’” ~Coach Prime Food For Thought: “This concept of making money better. And that has driven me since I was 5 or 6 years old. And it will probably drive me until my last day in this planet, which this concept of every time money becomes better people live better lives doesn’t mean more money. It means better money. It means it’s easier to access, it’s easier to save, it’s easier to get a loan, it’s easier to do aspects with it that you couldn’t do before so you can build your vision and your life. So the metrics that I care the most at Ribbit, it’s more than number of people that we touch every year in trying to make their lives better, because that will probably drive the output of what investors want, which is returns and impact and all of those measures. But right now we touch 900 million people every year with financial services that we make their life better. I would like that number to be a couple billion.” ~Micky Malka, Building Ribbit on Invest Like The Best w/ Patrick O'Shaughnessy
