Be very careful how you spend the first and last two hours of each day

My closest mentor—one of the most successful leaders in the financial industry—gave me this tidbit early in my career: “Most people wake up reactively, adhering to the world’s needs, not their own.” In a world of unlimited communication, people don’t disconnect from society to analyze their lives.

The first two hours of your day should be spent aligning your short-term efforts with your long-term goals. I wake up during the week at 3:30 a.m., taking the time to meditate and read for 20 minutes. Then I spend an hour doing an intensive workout like circuit training or hiking.

The last two hours of your day dictates your energy for the next day. I spend an hour studying or learning a new skill, and the last hour planning my next day.

Learn to work harder on yourself than your job.

<aside> 🔥 Build an anti-fragile identity. Re-orienting what your ego is based around. What you build your self esteem around matters. Most people build it around being right, good, worthy. These are dead ends. You will inevitably run into things you are not right or good about. If you build around being praised around end results and not the process, you will hit a dead end. Re-orient around being a learner, then you are anti-fragile. -Tom Bilyeu

Learners seek the faculty to overcome and move forward.

Have to want something super amazingly badly. Willing to sacrifice ego comfort, and NEED to find truth in pursuit of the goal.

Have to turn “wants” into crushing NEEDS. -Tom Bilyeu

You don’t get what you want, you get what you need. -Tony Robbins
