To succeed, you must do both: things that scale and things that don’t.

Doing things that scale is doing things that compound

1. Learn Every Day: Go to bed smarter than when you woke up. Continuous learning is the key to success: Knowledge compounds like interest. Just as compound interest grows wealth exponentially over time, accumulated knowledge multiplies your ability to think critically and make better decisions.

2. Create and Share: Whether writing, painting, dancing, or teaching—create something you enjoy and share it publicly. Platforms like YouTube or TikTok democratize leverage and scale. Learn to harness them.

3. Invest Consistently: Invest a small amount daily in broad index funds over time. Don’t brag, flaunt, or compare your progress to benchmarks on a daily basis. Get rich slowly.

"Nature is not in a hurry, yet everything is accomplished." - Lao Tzu

Doing Things That Do Not Scale

1. Family & Friends: Surround yourself with people who accept you for who you are and help you become the best version of yourself.

2. Building a Team: Whatever business you're in, it's all about people. Invest time in recruiting, developing, and empowering a great team.

3. Eat, Exercise, and Sleep: Keep your meals simple and nutritious, move when the sun is up, and sleep when it goes down. Prioritize the basics for a healthy, balanced life.

Success and fulfillment is the freedom to do what you want, with whom you want, for as long as you want.

That is it for today, take it easy until next time.
