let's get straight into it number one
buy your friend's product at full price
if you want to help your friends who are
entrepreneurs then buy their products at
full price and tell others about it
there's this mindset to ask for mates
rates and ask for a discount because the
person selling is someone you know but
by doing this you're actually taking
from them not giving to them they will
let you know if they have a friends and
family discount that is available so the
best thing you can do for a small
business or an entrepreneur friend is to
buy their product at full price and
leave them a review number two marry the
financially stable we are programmed to
think that money is a taboo topic and
it's awkward to discuss and so often we
don't discuss that with our partners at
all unless there's a problem in fact
money is the top reason why couples
fight why did you spend that much how
are we going to pay for our bills this
month and so when you develop that
pattern of only speaking about it when
there's a problem then over time you're
going to dislike money you're going to
dislike talking about money or you're
just going to dislike your partner one
of the things that financially
successful couples do is they talk about
money regularly and proactively they
don't wait for a problem to rise before
they decide to talk about it laying out
your financial goals and laying out your
views on money is something you and your
partner want to get used to and you want
to have these conversations sooner
rather than later number three work from
a desk what do you think of when you
imagine your bed maybe sleep maybe
relaxing maybe chilling now what do you
think of when you imagine your desk work
productivity maybe a little bit of
stress that's exactly what your brain
does every single time you switch
environments it's something called
context dependent memory and it's a term
for saying that your brain links
behaviors with the places that you do
them when you perform a specific task in
a specific place you'll feel kind of
energy that will drive you to do that
task so working from a desk helps you
get the work done be productive but also
optimize for work-life balance when
you're able to shut your computer and
physically move away from your workspace
you're sending a clear signal to your
brain that is time to de-stress and
switch off you want to avoid mixing
location energy for different tasks next
we have think before accepting the first
offer there's two sides to every story
and the same goes for negotiations so
whether it's about to secure a new job
or accepting the terms on the lease for
a new car often the first offer that is
put on the table is not the best offer
that the other party can do and it's
usually just a starting point the other
party in most cases expects some back
and forth and negotiation has very much
been factored into their initial offer
so if you're always accepting the first
offer without even thinking you're very
likely leaving possibilities and
opportunities on the table understand
the root cause of jealousy this is one
that really helped me find my journey
and what I wanted to get out of my life
you can't be jealous of someone or
something that you don't truly want
yourself for example I'm not the least
bit jealous of someone who dresses
immaculately day in day out I I don't
want to it doesn't interest me it
doesn't spark anything in me but if I
saw someone doing what they truly loved
day in day out that used to make me feel
a certain way and I knew that more than
anything else that's what I wanted to
create instead of using jealousy to send
negative thoughts into the world or to
other people put it into inspiration use
that negative energy and put it into
motivation when you get that unsettled
feeling recognize and give yourself room
to unpack and understand whatever it is
that you're jealous of and then put your
energy into making that thing happen for
yourself next say less than necessary
I'm finding more and more two types of
people in life and specifically on
social media on one side there's the
people who say oh I've been working
really hard on this book or this product
or in the service for the last two years
and it's finally here and you realize
that they haven't mentioned that at all
over the last two years that they've
been working on it they've been working
on it in the background and in silence
and then on the other side there are
people who are telling everyone they
meet about how they've got all these big
plans coming up and watch the space and
there's something coming soon and then
you don't hear about that thing again
nothing comes from it it's so easy to
get the kick and the validation you need
from posting about doing the thing and
telling everyone about doing the thing
instead of actually doing it by saying
less than necessary I don't mean
gatekeeping information or being
secretive about the knowledge you have
I'm a big believer in absolutely the
opposite I'm an open book on this
YouTube channel but I do believe that to
do anything great and to really set
yourself apart you need to spend more
time doing the thing than talking about
doing it next we have eating healthy
this is a key part that gets forgotten
about in the hustle and grind and it's
so easy to just get a takeaway or get an
ubereats when you have a million things
to do but if you have your health in
check you're able to perform better you
can work Less hours and more
productively so you want to eat healthy
now at the moment my life is a bit
chaotic I've got different things that
are going on even when I'm not able to
spend time to cook an organically
healthy meal a product that I've been
relying on recently is hewell who are
very kindly sponsoring this article you
already know that I have been a paying a
customer for heal for the past two years
now and there are two products that I
have been really enjoying recently one
of them is they're ready to drink and
I've been getting deliveries for this
monthly and it's a whole meal a whole
nutritionally complete meal in a single
bottle and the second thing I've been
loving recently as I'm getting back into
my exercise routine is their protein
powder I add 300 milliliters of cold
water first and then one scoop of
complete protein I then give it a good
Shake in my heel Shaker which I got for
free with my first order along with the
t-shirt and you could get the same using
the link below so thank you so much fuel
for sponsoring this article and for
helping me make sure I'm getting all my
proteins and my minerals into my diet
next we have read every day there is a
constant Chase for mentors and we often
think we need a mentor to unlock
opportunities to unlock possibilities we
need a mentor to get past a certain
level we need to be around a certain
group of people to level up what we
often miss is that everything that we
need every skill that we need to learn
every problem that we need solved can be
figured out somehow through the internet
through a podcast through an interview
through a book books are the most
radically condensed form of knowledge in
the world you can get someone's 10 years
worth of knowledge and experience
condensed into a book that you can read
over a weekend if I really want someone
to be my mentor and they're so far Out
Of Reach I'll listen to every podcast
they have every interview and I'll read
every book written by them next we have
focus on practicality a lot of us get
tied up with this whole find your
passion find your purpose BS and we put
so much equity on it that we don't get
started on anything until we have a
clear view on what our passion or
purpose is but the truth is that very
few people are successful from finding
their passion on their first go and then
making a living from it it's so hard to
do and it takes months and years of
trying other things first and seeing
what sticks focus on learning skills
that are practical focus on skills or
businesses that are practical all these
things that you try may not be the thing
that leads to what you where you want to
be eventually but it will definitely
help you in getting there it will put
you further than just sitting and
waiting for your passion and purpose to
come to you before you get started next
we have spend time in solitude I went to
a motivational talk recently and the
speaker asked the 2000 people in the
room to stand and he then said If in the
last seven days you have spent more than
seven consecutive waking hours away from
your phone then sit down and no one in
the room sat down he then reduced those
seven consecutive hours to five hours so
if you've spent more than five waking
hours away from your phone then sit down
a few people sat down he then reduced it
to three hours maybe about 100 or so
people sat down and then one hour and
the majority of people in the room stood
standing most of us can't spend time
away from our phones and researchers
show that due to smartphones we have a
harder time concentrating we don't know
what to do with our down time or our
boredom and we feel anxious when we
don't have our phones because we feel
like we're missing out on something if
you want to live a life that is
different from everyone else's and you
want to do things that other people
aren't willing to do spend some time
every day by yourself without your phone
and take this time to reflect on where
you are and where you want to be Choose
Yourself I've been having a lot of
conversations recently from different
people from different walks of life and
I don't know what it is but every single
conversation I've had with the person
has been around starting something new
and doing something different and taking
a different path but the thing that
stops them or stops anyone is always
external factors my family don't believe
it I don't want to get judged I feel
like I'll get laughed at and I've always
said this as long as you're doing what
you want and you're not hurt or harming
anyone else and doing it don't for a
second focus on what the external noise
and people around you are saying don't
let the opinions of others stop you from
living your life we are the sum of all
our different choices and only you have
to deal with your life's consequences so
choose yourself and don't let other
people have the power to choose you and
this is a bit of a bonus Point here as I
add on from the previous point and that
is to influence rather than be
influenced don't doubt the value that
you have to give to the world you may
not feel like you're an expert in
anything but your story is a very unique
story whether you're super successful or
not there will never be anyone who has
your background and your story so use it
to your advantage and where possible
spend more time producing rather than
consuming that's it guys thank you for
