How To Get Ahead of Everyone Your Age
Don't be like the rest
Look at everyone around you, it’s not looking good.
So how do you get the opposite of your environment? That’s essentially what I’ll show you, how I did it. Especially financially, because a lot of the people I see, either at school or wherever, it’s like they wanna work some dead end low income job for the rest of their life because their focus is partying, girls, or whatever else.
And if anyone who knows me in real gets mad at me because I’m talking about them, and they want the smoke, if you want some you can come get it.
The two things that did it for me was a plan and change of how I view things. And you won’t make a good plan if you aren’t thinking right. First, start experimenting, the first thing I did to make some money was crypto, even though I started with $200 I scaled to 600-$700. Which was big for me because I was a broke boy at the time.
I then invested in a Nft, I bought it for like $400, the whole project flopped a month later, and I was back at where I started. Next I picked up a book that my teacher recommended and it did help out. Because the more you know the more you can do. The book was millionaire teacher.
This is when I fell into my heavy Andrew Tate phase. All I saw was this sweet lifestyle and it got me thinking, what do I not want? An ugly gf, no money in my bank account, being under people soley for the reason of “I need money.” And it’s ok if you’re working a job, as long as the main goal is to learn something to go up in life.
So write down, either on paper or on a notes tab on your phone or wherever what you don’t want. And the difference between the people who actually make a difference in their life are the people who take action, so just write the first things that come to mind, it’s a 10 second task. Another good way to do it, is what are the people around me (who aren’t going anywhere close to where I want to go) doing? Write those down.
From this you’ll get an idea for a plan. So my first step of action was to start working somewhere where I can learn, and the first job I landed was in sales, which is a really good place to start learning btw.
This also helped me get around other people, outside of my normal environment. A big part of this is the people you’re around, so if you don’t have a good job rn, try and get around some better people. Online especially because they’re everywhere, especially in our community.
And ask those people for help, and one thing is too, people who are above you, will help you. As long as you aren’t an annoying leach. Like my mentor, I credit most of my business success to him. And I met him at the sales job because he was the owner, so he was well above me but still helped. Find people above you and ask if they can help you by answering some questions time to time, they’ll do it.
Next I kept going up. After the summer ended I had to go back to school and fell into a season of learning. Not bs science and english but I started to self educate on business by just reading a book every 2 weeks and watching educational videos. And I did this for like 6 months before I started thinking about what I was gonna do next.
What you do next differs on everyone. I started a business, you may get another job. I wrote about this too if you wanna see what you can do next but aren’t sure. (Link)
But then I fell into a season of action. And if you’re in school, do this. During the school months learn as much as you can about how others started their businesses, why they did what they did, and the biggest mental shifts they had. Throughout this phase you’ll have some ideas, and on your weekends start working on setting it up, and when summer comes and school is off, you need to go Balls to the Wall with your work.
I’ve done this for 2 cycles now going to the third of the working part and I’ll tell you from experience it’s whats worked for me.
2nd big thing is how you think about what you do. ‘Why’, is essentially the differentiator between the bums and greats. You need to think more in terms of purpose over pleasure, this is an incredibly advanced system that I created months back. I call it the PP System.
Essentially before you do anything, ask yourself, am I doing this for pleasure, as in to feel good. Or am I doing this to better my future self. You’ll notice the people you don’t wanna be like are all smoking weed, going out, doing whatever and they do it to “chill” “relax” or whatever they tell themselves.
If you don’t wanna be like that, you need to be more purpose driven. And your purpose is what you’re working towards. The ultimate goal of either your business, your work, learning and the things that are going to make you the best you in the coming time.
So if you really want it,
Find what you don’t want in life (based on those around you)
Get a first step for your plan
Get around better people
Fall into Learn—Work cycle
Use the PP System
This is how I went about it and hopefully this helps you too with getting towards your goal or help you out if you’re a bit lost like I was.
Thank you for reading :)
