HABIT N1: FUCK IMMEDIATE GRATIFICATION
- WHAT IF THE THING KEEPING YOU BROKE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR INCOME AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH HOW FAST YOU NEED TO BE REWARDED. YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS CONCEPT SO THAT YOU DO NOT LET TINY CHOICES CONTROL YOUR LIFE. CHOOSING FUTURE REWARD OVER INSTANT COMFORT IS AND WAS ONE OF THE STRONGEST PREDICTORS OF LONG TERM SUCCESS ACCORDING TO A PSYCHOLOGY STANFORD STUDY WHERE AFTER A FOLLOW UP, THE KIDS WHO MANAGED TO WAIT, NOT ONLY SCORED HIGHER ON THEIR SATS BUT DECADES LATER THEY HAD HEALTHIER RELATIONSHIPS, A LOWER BODY MAX INDEX, STRONGER CAREERS AND MADE MORE MONEY. MOST PEOPLE OPERATE ON IMMEDIATE GRATIFICATION AND THAT IS WHY THEY ARE BROKE, OVERWEIGHT AND DON’T HAVE THE RELATIONSHIP THAT THEY WANT. THEY OPTIMISE FOR TODAY’S COMFORT AT TOMORROW’S EXPENSE AND THAT IS ALSO WHY 78% OF AMERICANS LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK REGARDLESS OF INCOME.
HN2: CHECK THE NUMBERS DAILY
TIP: EVERY DOLLAR CAN BECOME AN ASSET OR CAPITAL.
- THE BIGGEST THREAT TO YOUR WEALTH AND HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE ISN’T WHAT YOU EARN, IT IS WHAT YOU AVOID. IT IS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY, IT IS ABOUT THE HABIT IT CREATES. AVOIDING THE NUMBERS DOES OT MAKE THE HABIT GROW AWAY. IT ACTUALLY MAKES IT WORSE. YOU CANNOT IMPROVE WHAT YOUR REFUSE TO FACE. YOU CANNOT MANAGE WHAT YOU DON’T MEASURE.
TIP: OPEN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT EVERYDAY AND RECORD EVERY TRANSACTION.
HN3: RADICAL RESPONSIBILITY
- BLAME GIVES YOU REASONS BUT HAVING OWNERSHIP AND TAKING RESPONSIBILITY GIVES YOU MORE CONTROL OVER SOMETHING ABOUT THE SITUATION
TIP: LOOK AT EVERY FAILURE AS DATA
HN4: DO THE HARD THINGS FIRST
- ‘ EAT THE FROG’
2. SUCCESS BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO SWALLOW THE HARDEST BITE BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE.
HN5: CHOOSE SKILLS OVER STATUS SYMBOL
- REAL CONFIDENCE DOES NOT COME FROM THE CLOTHES THAT YOU WEAR, FROM THE JEWELLERY YOU OWN, HOW YOU DO YOUR HAIR AND MAKEUP. IT COMES FROM HOW YOU FEEL INSIDE.
HN6: MANUFACTURE DISCOMFORT
- THE THINGS THAT YOU RESIST DOING ARE ALWAYS THE THINGS THAT WILL UNLOCK YOUR BIGGEST GROWTH. PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE HARD THINGS END UP HANDLING UNWANTED HARD THINGS FAR BETTER
TIP: DISCOMFORT IS ACTUALLY INFORMATI0N. IT TELLS YOU WHERE YOU HAVE ROOM TO GROW. AUDIT YOUR ENVIRONMENT. IF EVERYONE AROUND YOU OPERATES AT YOUR LEVEL OR BELOW THEN WHERE DO YOU THINK YOUR GOING.
