❇️ How to get ahead of those around you

TLDR; Execute more than those around you.

Most people talk a lot.

"I'm planning to lose weight this year."
Action taken: Bought new shoes. No working out.

"I can create better digital products that them."
Action taken: None. Just talking about what they COULD do.

"I am building a clothing brand to sell my work."
Action taken: Fancy brand name. No product work started.

There is this concept where when you SPEAK about the things you PLAN to do, your brain feels a sense of accomplishment. Like you have already sort of accomplished what you intend to accomplish, just because you are talking about it and are "working on it".

It's probably the most evil side of our brains.

The side that's holding us back.

So how can you get ahead of those around you?

Simply by DOING the things you SAID you would do, or WANT to do.

For example: Most people I speak to say "They want a side hustle" or "Passive income is important." but they don't have much to show for it.

Some even argue saying they don't know HOW to...

So here are things one should do if you don't know how to:
1. Google it. Literally everything you need to know is online.
2. Connect with those who have done the thing you want to do. You don't need to reinvent the wheel. You just need to speak to more who know about this stuff.
3. Dedicate 1 hour every day (even the weekends) to work on this "thing" that you want to do. It's not a "sacrifice", it's a choice.

Do these 3 things consistently every day for 6 months and you'll find yourself ahead of those around you....

or else I'll do a 1000 pushups and go bald. 🧑‍🦲 Promise.
