Actually, it's banal, but most people are so stupid that they don’t understand simple things.
ALL successful people share one thing — without this, success will never happen, no matter how hard you try.
Let me start with what everyone has who is just beginning their journey. You saw, for example, a successful young guy, found out he's an IT specialist, and decided to go into IT too. But something didn’t work out.
Or you saw Usyk's fight and decided to take up boxing, but after a couple of knockdowns, it didn't work out. Maybe you saw a pretty girl on Instagram working out — and you decided to go too, but you became neither a fitness model, nor a world boxing champion, nor a successful IT specialist.
Motivation is the dumbest thing that can exist to achieve success. Motivation is for idiots, whose heads don’t even come up with a desire; they need to be motivated. Haha, people who need motivation will never achieve anything. All successful people you see online or in life definitely do not need motivation because they are true F*CKING NERDS OF THEIR CRAFT!
Yes, exactly nerds. Because any motivation ends after a week, you can’t just rely on motivation to get results. Usyk probably gets hit on the head every day in sparring for over 20 years. Can you make that kind of sacrifice on motivation?
If you see a guy with an awesome physique — he has it because he’s been busting his ass in the gym for 10 years. And not like you, but really busting his ass. Doesn't eat McDonald's and pizza, doesn't drink, doesn't party in clubs — and a whole bunch of other 'no's.
Because excellent form is not just about training three days a week with a pink dumbbell. It’s a lot of restrictions and years of work to the point of boredom by the end of the workout. Have you ever experienced that even once? No? Then you are slacking off. No excuses. Simply every day. And you just see a picture that motivates you.
Absolutely the same goes for finances. You can show people graphs every day and explain that they need to invest at least 30% of their income every month to build capital over 10 years. No, damn it, they are motivated by an info-gypsy in a Lamborghini who says they can get rich just by buying his trading course.
Shall we just call such people by their names?
MAMMOTH. Although I would call them something else, but we have a cultural blog here 😂
Creating capital is the most boring task there is. Look at Warren Buffett. Do you want to be like him? There he is — a true investment nerd. Okay, a much smaller example — me.
I invest every spare dollar, and I don’t even see most of the money — they just come and go into the portfolio.
Received dividends for the quarter — immediately bought more assets.
Received payment for the advertising contract (2-month) — immediately into investments.
Received payouts from partnerships — immediately into the portfolio.
Locked in 100% profit on Tesla — and again, damn it, back into the portfolio, didn't even buy a Rolex 😂
I don’t look like a successful person precisely because I don’t spend money — I accumulate it. And I don't show off with toys and rags. If you see a financial blogger flaunting cars and clothes — that’s it, end of the line, we’ve arrived. This is primarily a blogger, because they buy this not for themselves (if they have any sense), but for you — to promote their courses. Although most of them are so stupid that they buy rags for themselves. So, they are primarily a blogger, not an investor.
And if you look at the consumption habits of our 'successful' Ukrainian women — I simply can't comprehend how such a lifestyle can be maintained if left without a source of income. They really spend $10,000–20,000 a month in Ukraine 🤦♂️
What I mean is, if you want to achieve a good result — you must pay attention to it every day for years. Not just get in shape a month before summer and not earn from the hype of altcoins, but engage in sports for life and build capital over 20 years.
Are you ready to sacrifice like that?
Not everyone will even read this post to the end 😂
I think 1 in 1000 can do it. Or maybe even less. So, if you are not ready to become a nerd in this matter — nothing will work out for you.
How many people touched the hamster to get $500? Everyone. Oh, that's easy — anyone can.
