A life-changing moment: A single, irreversible paradigm shift that will happen in one moment and will last for the rest of your life. The only way to achieve one is by daily execution. I want to give you some ideas. Here are the best habits to implement to change everything: 1) Reading You read books to immerse yourself in wide-open ideas. Ideas that create pattern recognition and make you think, "Oh, that relates to this and this..." Books are the catalyst of life-changing insight. They are long, but that's part of their nature. You can't expect to change yourself by reading a blog post on business models. You have to get an overview of your problem, create a project for it, and apply what you learn from books to those projects. Just keep in mind, reading is just one part of the puzzle. 2) Writing The Internet has 2 phases: code and media. Code is the back-end. It's what makes everything work and behave like it should. You don't see it or understand it unless you are a programmer. Media is the front-end. It's what the general population sees, interacts with, and learns from. You have to conquer either one to build an impactful business and career. I recommend going for media. How? Write online. Reading without writing is like eating with training. Your mind gets clogged by all this knowledge that doesn't have any project to apply to. You need to create to make good use of your daily learning. You need to write so you can read, and viceversa. How do you create content? Share your journey, learning, and process. Build a project. Learn to build it better and faster. Share what you are learning online. Do it for enough time until you have an audience that just loves who you are. It is deeper than this, of course. But I will leave it like that for now. I will teach more later, but if you want a great place to start, learn from: - @thedankoe - @dickiebush - @Nicolascole77 3) Daily Walking You have 2 states of mind: 1) Productive. 2) Creative. It has technical names and thorough research, but I will keep it simple for easier understanding. Why do you think the most impactful innovators, filmmakers, and thinkers seem to do "nothing" all day? They work on stages. You need to rest to let ideas sink into your psyche. Make connections happen and produce novel content. This is where walking comes into place. I like to go on a walk twice a day. One in the morning and the other in the afternoon. I often listen to podcasts and a long YouTube lecture. But what do I do? - I listen carefully looking for ideas. - I capture those ideas in my phone (I use @kortexco. You can use whatever works for you) - I connect those ideas to projects I'm working on. - I expand those ideas in more detail with note-taking or writing a tweet, thread or newsletter. Walking will save your mind. And as a plus, it's great for daily light cardio, burning calories, and getting daily sunlight. If you are stressed and overwhelmed, walk. If you want new ideas, walk. If you don't know what to do in your life, walk, listen to meaningful content, practice mindful meditation as you listen, and connect the dots by note-taking. 4) Building You need a project. You need to create content so you can provide value at scale. You need to learn more so you can provide even more value — applying what you learn to real-life projects. You must build every day, at every hour. It is an exaggeration, but I like them to make a point punchier. Building is how you create meaningful change in the world. The world's richest people on Earth are builders. You can't expect much out of life if you are not building constantly. You can do it in all aspects of life: - You can create content. - You can learn a new skill. - You can develop better relationships. - You can build a product. - You can build a business. - You can build a legacy. Just learn enough to apply it, then start experimenting — building your own frameworks and systems — and then share what you are doing on the Internet. You will build an audience, a business, a better life, and whatever you please. ——— I hope you liked this one.
