7 habits that’ll get you ahead of 95% of people in their 20s:

Solitude.

Learn to enjoy your own company.

Travel alone.
Take walks alone.
Go to cafes alone.

Learn to be happy alone so you don’t waste your life chasing validation from others.
Delaying Gratification.

Every day, your dopamine is being drained.

• Phones
• Social media
• Hyper-palatable foods

This causes you to hop from stimulus to stimulus.

Over time, you become like 90% of people…

Unable to focus for more than 5 minutes.
Make it a daily habit to delay gratification.

Pick 1 habit:

• Writing
• Reading
• Meditation

Anything with no immediate reward.

Practice it for 5 minutes and up the time every session.

Over a period of week/months, you’ll develop laser-like focus.
Writing.

Writing is focused thinking.

It forces you to develop 1 idea at a time.

Just like your body can’t build muscle without exertion, your mind can’t build understanding without exertion.

Block out 1 hour a day - no notifications, no people - and write.
Questioning.

Questioning conditions you to look for answers:

• Who can help the most?
• What can be done better?
• How can it be done faster?

Asking questions will open loops in your brain and force it to find answers.
Taking Tactical Risks.

Your risk to reward ratio will never be better than in your 20s.

You can fuck up for 10 years straight and still be okay in your 30s.

Your downside is limited to 0 but your upside is limitless.
Don’t waster your 20s.

If you have low risk:

• No kids
• Few liabilities
• Zero dependants

You can take “high” risks with:

• Business
• Investments
• Opportunities

Chase your “unrealistic” goals.
Giving Without Expectation.

Relationships shouldn’t be transactional.

Make friends with ambitious people and make it a habit to give value with 0 expectations.

This results in 10x returns.

Goodwill compounds.
Saying “No.”

“Yes” to one opportunity is “no” to another.

Your focus is your most powerful currency and your time is your most important asset.

Save it for what will move the needle the most.

Say no to everything else.

I’m torn on how to approach the idea of luck. I’m the first to admit that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. To be born into a prosperous American family in 1960 with smart parents is to start life on third base. The odds against my very existence are astronomical.


I’ve always felt that the luckiest people I know had a talent for recognizing circumstances, not of their own making, that were conducive to a favorable outcome and their ability to quickly take advantage of them.

In other words, dumb luck was just that, it required no awareness on the person’s part, whereas “smart” luck involved awareness followed by action before the circumstances changed.

So, was I “lucky” to be born when I was—nothing I had any control over—and that I came of age just as huge databases and computers were advancing to the point where I could use those tools to write “What Works on Wall Street?” Absolutely.

Was I lucky to start my stock market investments near the peak of interest rates which allowed me to spend the majority of my adult life in a falling rate environment? Yup.
