How to Get Ahead of 99% of People in the Next 6 Months
The 6 principles of the mega-successful
I’ve studied the ultra-successful in the last 3 years.
Here are 6 principles I’ve noticed of the top 1%.
1. Break your personal beliefs
- Dakota Robertson makes $40k/month writing tweets for other people.
- Dan Koe sold $80k worth of a course in 1 week.
- Some dude sold an ebook for $2.3 million a year
Dare to believe that because others have, you can. Most people don’t. They don’t ask questions. They stick to what they’ve been told.
The internet has one immeasurable beauty, you see behind the curtains of what is possible. Allow yourself to look, to absorb it all and then believe that you, yes you, are capable.
All you need to do is put in the work.
2. Explore your learning
What is the most important investment nobody talks about? Yourself.
Not in the market, not in rentals, not in anything else. You. Most people are looking to put their money in investments, but the obvious one they miss is themselves.
Invest in:
- Good food
- Education
- Books
Those things will give a better ROI than almost anything else. If you want to get further than you’ve ever gone before you need to be willing to learn like never before.
3. Experiment with ideas
The smartest people I know make bets every day. They test their ideas and review the results.
They don’t make decisions from assumptions, they test the market, learn, and build iteratively.
I love people who work this way. There’s an intelligence about it. They let the market decide and they simply keep their ears to the ground and learn as best they can.
4. Work through bad feelings
A negative comment, an unkind message, or a savage reply. All can throw you off your game and make you feel like throwing in the towel.
All my favorite creators feel this but they create despite. They don’t let feelings throw them off the work. They know it’s part of the game, they become numb to it over time and they just get on with what needs doing.
5. Practice pace
This content creation thing is a long game. Some weeks you’re sprinting, others you’re jogging, some you’re just walking.
Pace is your best friend.
The top 1% of creators know that it’s a long game, the trick is to know when to put your foot on the gas and when to ease it off.
6. Accept feedback
When you’re getting started feedback is your best friend. It might not feel like it but those that can take criticism and learn from it will win.
Those that focus on getting better each day will end up on top. Nobody can stop the person who just cares about being the best.
Feedback is a huge part of that. From people you respect of course but being able to pour your heart and soul into something and then, when somebody tells you it needs work, going away and working on it… that’s a skill.
It’s a choice. And it’s something that not everybody can do.
The world is yours
The good news is, anybody can create on the internet.
I see people’s lives changing every day from this one consistent habit. It’s a huge opportunity for anyone that wants it. And no, you don’t have to quit your day job. I haven’t.
You can simply create, learn from the best and watch as your life changes.
