Live on the Margin
Money appreciates, time does not. Waiting a lifetime to do what you want to do is a high risk trade.
Unwavering belief in yourself, willingness to take 100% responsibility for the outcome...
IT IS NEVER SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT.
THERE IS NEVER AN EXTERNAL INFLUENCE THAT LIMITS WHAT IS POSSIBLE.
TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE OUTCOME, GOOD OR BAD.
Understand and confront your fears.
Separate pursuit of money from pursuit of purpose.
Step outside the market trance:
1) be skeptical, recognize opinions as opinions
2) analytical, reasoned decisions
3) research everything, including the research
4) confident -- you only gain self confidence by doing.
5) decisive, don't get bogged down with regret.
Skepticism is about asking the right questions. Questions assumptions.
Self-confidence translates to other fields.
Belief in yourself does not mean you're always right.
belief in yourself means you don't have to prove something to anyone else.
When you're dreaming of things you don't dream up the broken engines, etc. but that leads to second guessing your entire plan the first time disaster strikes.
Start planning with the design.
- Design means figuring out the needs and how you want your life to function (to work or operate)
- not goals, rather what do you want to be doing on a day to day hour by hour basis. Figure that out and you don't need a plan.
- being vs doing. Focus on doing and let being take care of itself.
- Doing is harder to figure out:
what do you want to do all day?
