1. Believe in yourself
I've doubted myself for a long time, it held me back.
By believing in myself, I was able to move forward.
2. No money is enough
No matter what you save, it won't be enough.
You will still feel like you'll run out of money. You won't.
You got this far. You planned. Believe in the work.
3. Your circle matter
I surrounded myself with the right people.
Exceptional mentors and friends, who pushed me in ways I've never been pushed.
Build a circle that will make you better.
4. Time is money I gave 15 years to an employer that replaced me in days. I can never get back those missed holidays & birthdays
5. You limit your ability to build wealth
By taking on high stress low reward position it limits your ability to build wealth quickly. This is an extension of #3
6. Work is work
I thought my "work friends" were real friends. They weren't.
Sure, some have become friends in real life, but others dropped me from Facebook when I quit.
Focus on friends in real life.
7. Don't be so busy you forget to live
When I tried to take PTO - it was never granted without a fight. Now I visit family & friends without a care in the world.
8. Life is the priority
When I worked, it was the priority.
- Gym
- Cooking
- Meditation
- Family Time
These are now the priority, and I've got time for them.
