What does it take to take over the world?
Focus, consistency & going all in.
If you take these three core concepts, point them in a direction, you will be among the elite at whatever you do.
I come from a very humble background; we didn't always have money to pay the light bill type of humble.
Now, I learned pretty quickly that if I wanted to get anything in life I was going to have to outwork everyone else, period.
It isn't just about work, there is what you call dumb work and smart work. You don't have to be "smart", to do smart work, however, if you apply the golden three rules, whatever you do, you will rise to the top.
Most people don't focus, they are inconsistent and they definitely don't go all in. Going all in is scary, it takes guts it takes confidence in yourself to allow the chips to fall where they fall, knowing you play the hand the best you could.
It gets hard, people quit, people move to "greener grass". However, if you don't plant a flag somewhere you'll never conquer anything, and Rome sure as hell wasn't built overnight. It takes a certain amount of fuck it, run it. We are in a generation of safety net reliers and "good enough" sayers that have lead to a vacancy for greatness.
Greatness should be legendary, a certain bit of luck is needed. Nowadays, the great spots are vacant, anyone can claim the spots. It seems people are content with being content. Safitsfied, its good enough for them.
Speculation is weird. Few to nobody does research, so it goes way up and way down, everything "new." There is research, and there is getting it. Do you just research? Or do you research until you get it, until it clicks?
You gotta be willing to pick up the scraps when the party is over.
Cause the party will return.
Those who think it's over are those stuck in a today mindset with no vision of what the future can hodl.
The party is just getting started...
