7 Things to Stop Doing in 2024
(To Get Ahead of 99% of People)

Stop Wasting Time

The first step to stop wasting your time and get ahead of 99% of people is isolation.

Why is isolation a gift?

Why is isolation the only path without waste of time?

Why is isolation the only way to an extraordinary life?

*Disclaimer: Don’t believe me.
Ask yourself if socialization, group activities and birthdays brought you where you want to be…

Seriously…

Take a moment to pause and think about it.

If the answer is yes, stop reading this letter and go socialize.

I write that without sarcasm.

If the answer is yes, than socialization will give you more of what you want than I will share in this talk

If you have made the realization that socialization is leading you astray

You will automatically spend more time alone

Without any mechanical doing or effort

Because your mind understands

Be prepared for everyone around you to call you weird or talk negatively behind your back

I’ve had it, you will likely face the same too (unless you have some rare individuals around you)

It might feel bad…

You might feel alone…

But understand this:

You are alone

We are all alone

And that is not good or bad

There is a difference between feeling lonely and being alone

I felt lonely

But things changed when I understood where that feeling was coming from

It was coming from a fear, multiple fears

Isolation is a gift, but be aware of these fears (that can arise)

1. The fear of losing friends

2. The fear of dying alone

3. The fear of emptiness

4. The fear of unknown

5. The fear of fear

If you want to have what no one had before

If you want to feel what no one felt before

If you want to do what no one did before

You can only walk the 3 min mile alone

…

So the 2nd step is finding out what you want

What is your purpose?

What is your calling?

What are you born to do?

Quiet the noise around you to find out

When your surroundings are at harmony, your innate curiosity will show you its way

*Disclaimer: Monk Mode is #1 Trending, but to 99% just another pleasure chase.

Many count their weeks without Alcohol

Many count their days off from Social Media

Many count their minutes of Mindful Meditation

Many count their way into just another ‘doing’ (that leads to the same misery)

True understanding is the only way

…

The 3rd thing is being honest to yourself

Which brings me to number 4: Mastery

When you find out what it is you want to master in life

You can get to a point where reaching flow state is a natural consequence every day

The state of ‘no mind’

The feeling we all desire, but not know how to put it in words

The freedom from problems

The feeling of peace

In a life without permanence

Only this second counts

In a world without significance

Only this moment matters

Tomorrow can go to hell

Right now is your heaven

…

Number 5, stop consuming, start creating

Consumption gives you pleasure

Creation brings you peace

Mastery isn’t learned from instructors, videos or books

Mastery is achieved by radical self-exploration

*Disclaimer: Again, don’t believe me. Ask yourself.

If you could…

…master boxing by watching Mike Tyson,

many fighters would be legendary…

…master investing by reading Warren Buffett,

many investors would be billionaires…

Number 6, follow your instinct

Remember:

Your natural voice will prevail

When the noise around fades away

And

Your innate voice will be heard

When external noise subsides

This leads me to my final point: solving the ‘need’ for money

Money is a necessity

The sooner you can solve it

The sooner you can stop wasting time

It is difficult, if not impossible to feel free and achieve mastery

If you don’t have enough $ cash to survive for 1-2 years

Trying to trick your mind out of ‘Fight-or-flight mode’ won’t work

To start playing the game of life, understand that:

Don’t fake it until you make it

Make it, so you don’t have to fake it

So that is what I am doing as well

Achieving financial freedom as soon as possible

And sharing how I do it

And how I grow my personal brand with social media, writing and creating art at the same time

Because you don’t have to waste your time to get to financial freedom

You can achieve it while doing what you want to master in life

I am born to create

It took me more than a year to find out
