What successful people understood before they were successful.

A short thread.

Mentorship isn’t about finding a great mentor.

It’s about becoming a person great mentors WANT to help.
Hiring isn’t about finding good people.

It’s about becoming a person good people want to work for.
Wealth isn’t about extracting value from others.

It’s about adding 10x as much value as you want to receive.
Winning doesn’t mean others lose.

The real winners help 1000 others win with them.
People do business with people they like.

Become a person others like.
You can’t please everyone.

Please the people who are who you want to become.
Business is about momentum.

What you do on day one will look nothing like what you’re doing on day 10,000.
You get ahead by saying yes to everything.

When you get momentum it’s much more about saying no.
A very small amount of your relative effort will generate an outsized amount of your success.

When you take time to zoom out and figure out what that is, you can do much more much faster.
Give up quickly.

Time is more valuable than money.
Being selfish is okay. Everyone is selfish.

Find a way to make sure everyone wins and everyone can be selfish for good reasons.

Selfish + abundance = wins

Selfish + scarcity = losses
1/2 the folks in this world are leaches.

Take take take. Give nothing.

Avoid these people. Do not bring them along on your journey. Do not hire them. They drag everyone down.
Sales is the key to success.

Being able to sell yourself and your ideas is how you win.
Being comfortable being uncomfortable is how you win.

Everything worth doing in this world requires you to get uncomfortable.
Entrepreneurship doesn’t have to be risky.

Opportunity =\= risky
Being a good businessman and having financial success is a small part of the big picture.

The key is finding a way to be a good friend, husband, father at the same time.
Consistency is way more important than efficiency.

Anything worth doing gets really tedious 2 years in. Year 2-5 is the critical period.

TLDR:

Make yourself into the person who deserves what you want out of this life.

Don’t have much cash but want to invest in real estate?

Want to get SBA loans and special loan programs so you can buy real estate investments with only 5-10% down?

One word for you:

Don’t.

Here’s why

👇👇👇

Leverage can be a beautiful thing.

Appreciation takes over and all that value you bought with debt grows and you amplify your returns.

But there is another, darker side of debt.


Values drop 5 or 10% and you’re underwater. You have zero equity or negative equity.

Ask the folks who were over-levered in 2007 what happened on 2011?

Real estate is a frothy space right now. Money flying everywhere and values higher than they’ve ever been.

Debt is cheaper and easier to get than ever.

Will it continue?

Probably.

Money could stay cheap for a long time. There is a ton of negative yielding debt abroad and liquidity ready to flood our market at the drop of a hat.

Rates will likely stay low. Gov will probably keep subsidizing these loans. You’ll probably be okay.

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho


There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.


Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.


Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.


The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.
