I'm 31 years old.
10 years ago when I was 21, I had less than $1,000 in my bank.
If you told me I would cross my first $1 mil at age 29, I wouldn't believe you.
But it's not all about $$.
Here's the top lessons I've learnt about habits, happiness, life and death:
1. Wake up early
I learnt this 4 years ago after listening to Jocko Willink.
IтАЩm not a morning person. Until now I'm still not.
But I force myself to rise early most days.
Knowing youтАЩve accomplished more than others by the morning is a good feeling.
It sets you up right.
2. Lift weights
Everyone in a competitive field should engage in some form of intense physical activity.
For me I lift weights 5-6x a week. But it could be any sport.
It teaches you valuable lessons like:
- showing up consistently
- putting in the reps
- pushing past boredom
3. Have dreams
I recall watching Tony Robbins when I was 16 years old, and that left an impression on me.
Seeing him speak and inspire others from stage, thatтАЩs what I wanted to do.
It gave my life a new purpose beyond video games...
I told all my friends about it.
Anyone who would listen, I publicly declared it.
Probably annoyed many of them.
Looking back, I'm blessed to have found what I wanted to do at an early age.
It gave me clarity in choosing my career, and where I chose to invest my time.
