From “How To Get Ahead Even When No One Is There For You”

To achieve 1% level success, reject the crowd mentality and avoid copying those who are stuck.
Think in decades, not days; focus on long-term vision rather than short-term gratification.
Regularly ask yourself:

Where do I want to be in 10 years? What habits does that future self have daily? What current habits are preventing me from becoming that person?

Focus on quality, not quantity of work hours; avoid burnout.
Schedule at least two hours of deep work daily — uninterrupted, focused time with no distractions (phone on airplane mode, notifications off).
Increase efficiency by prioritizing important tasks and eliminating low-value activities.
Wake up early by going to bed earlier to get focused, uninterrupted time before daily distractions begin.

Recognize that procrastination, overthinking, or fear of failure are symptoms of deeper unresolved wounds or trauma.
Take radical ownership of your emotional triggers and inner critic; stop blaming others.
Daily self-check: ask yourself

What am I avoiding feeling right now? Allow yourself to feel it without bypassing or fixing immediately.
Healing is essential because you cannot outwork unresolved pain or trauma.
Emotional healing supports breaking self-sabotaging patterns and builds resilience.

Success requires showing up every day, even when motivation is low or the process feels boring.
Accept boredom and routine as part of the growth process, not as punishment.
Develop and commit to 1-2 non-negotiable daily habits that are small but impactful, and track them to maintain momentum.
Avoid “shiny object syndrome” by focusing on steady, repeated actions that compound over time.
Value peace, process, and discipline over short-term comfort or drama.

Discipline, vision, and emotional mastery are the three pillars that separate the top 1% from the rest.
Being rare and different is necessary to live a rare and extraordinary life.
Focus on building the best version of yourself over the next 365 days, not just hitting goals.
Prioritize long-term growth over short-term dopamine hits from distractions like social media, shopping, or entertainment.
