Rich people make decisions & make them right. My motto? Just Do It 🚗

🚀 What Sets Successful People Apart?
Most people think success comes from IQ, talent, or a mix of strategy and luck. But after studying icons like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson, the real difference is speed. 💨
Everyone’s on a path to wealth, but most move too slowly to get there in their lifetime. The good news? Millionaires and billionaires follow these 7 steps to accelerate progress. I used them to make my first million by 27 and hit over $100M in revenue in my 40s. Speed doesn’t mean working harder or needing money upfront. Here’s how to move faster than anyone else! 🏃‍♂️

1. Burn the Boats 🔥

Successful people create pressure to make success a must. Most struggle with decisions because they always have an out. I ask entrepreneurs, “What would it take to achieve your 5-year plan in 1 year?” 🤔
When there’s no escape—like losing everything if you fail—your confidence skyrockets. 💪
How to Burn the Boats:

• Set a Deadline: Sign up for a challenge or pre-sell a product. 📅
• Put Money on the Line: Bet on yourself or prioritize tasks tied to cash. 💰
• Make Public Commitments: Share your goals with friends or investors to stay accountable. 📣

2. Default to Action 🏃‍♂️

Stop preparing and start doing. Elon Musk’s story proves it: when told it’d take 6 months to shut down Twitter’s data centers, he rented a U-Haul, pulled out servers himself, and did it in 3 days. 🚚
Rich people make decisions and make them right. My motto? JFDI (Just Freaking Do It). 🚗
How to Default to Action:

• “By When” Rule: Demand specific deadlines (e.g., “Thursday, 2 PM”). ⏰
• 2-Minute Rule: If it takes less than 2 minutes, do it now. ✅
• 70% Rule: Decide with 70% of the data—perfection isn’t required. 📊
• Type 1 vs. Type 2 Decisions: Slow down for one-way doors (e.g., buying a company); speed up for reversible ones (e.g., hiring). 🚪

3. Model, Then Modify 🧠

Success leaves clues. Don’t reinvent the wheel—model what works and tweak it. Tony Robbins says, “Steal like an artist.” 🎨 Copy the principles, not the content, and adapt to your market.
When I started coaching, I studied 8-figure coaches I admired, followed their playbooks, and made them my own. 🏆
Pro Tip: Can’t find a mentor? Ask AI like ChatGPT for blueprints—it’s free and fast! 🤖

4. Fire Bullets, Then Cannons 🎯

Big wins come from small tests. Don’t bet everything upfront. Jim Collins’ Great by Choice teaches: fire bullets (small experiments), calibrate, then load the cannon (big investment). 💥
My friend Matt built an AI dashboard by pre-selling to 50 customers before scaling. Validate first, then go big.
How to Do It: List your riskiest assumptions, test them, and prioritize the biggest risks. 📝

5. Simplify Your Business 🧹

Complexity kills progress. Saying yes to every idea creates chaos—confused teams, quality issues, and bloated processes. You can’t scale chaos. 🌪️
Complexity Killers:

• One Goal: Focus on the leading domino that drives everything else. 🎯
• Simplify Decisions: Wear the same shirt to save mental energy. 👕
• Automate Workflows: Never repeat the same task twice. ⚙️
• Lock Commitments: Set routines like date night every Thursday. 💞
• Prune Regularly: Cut unnecessary tasks like weeding a garden. 🌱

6. Get Obsessed 🔍

Success requires focus and intensity. My wife’s annoyed I watch AI and robotics videos nightly, but that’s my obsession. 🌟
Others might call you “too much,” but world-class success demands seasons of all-in focus.
How to Get Obsessed:

• Immerse Yourself: Drink from the fire hose of knowledge. 💧
• Surround Yourself: Hang with obsessed peers (e.g., my weekly AI roundtable). 🗣️
• Learn Thinking, Not Tactics: Understand why successful people decide, not just what they do. 🧠

7. Go Find Bigger Problems 🏔️

To compress decades into years, embrace discomfort. Life’s like a video game—new levels mean sucking again to grow. 🎮
Small problems = small life. Big problems = big life. Aim for jet fuel problems, not oil changes. ✈️
How to Level Up:

• Reset Your Vision: Add a zero to your goals and ask, “Why not me?” 🌍
• Embrace Bigger Challenges: Be grateful for problems—they push you to grow. 🙏

These 7 steps aren’t just about hitting goals—they’re about enjoying the journey. 🌈 Success is a responsibility to lift others up. Want to see how I taught 100 kids to outearn their parents? Click the link below! 👇

🚀 Elon Musk: The Self-Taught Genius Behind Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink
Elon Musk runs billion-dollar companies and redefines industries—without being a trained rocket scientist, AI expert, or neuroscientist. How? It’s not degrees or luck—it’s his unique learning method that lets him master complex topics quickly. 🌟 Here’s how Musk learns, applies knowledge to solve massive problems, and how you can use his techniques to achieve extraordinary results! 💡

1. Why Musk Rejects Traditional Education 🎓❌

Musk doesn’t credit college for his success. Despite degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and briefly attending Stanford’s PhD program, he dropped out after two days. Why? He believes schools prioritize memorization over critical thinking and problem-solving. 🧠
Instead, Musk took learning into his own hands. To build SpaceX rockets, he didn’t take classes—he cold-called expert Jim Cantrell, borrowed textbooks like Rocket Propulsion Elements, and devoured them. Cantrell was stunned: Musk spoke like a veteran rocket scientist after weeks of self-study. 📚
Musk’s Take: “You don’t need college to learn stuff. Everything is available for free.” 🎯

2. The Semantic Tree Method 🌳

Musk’s secret to deep learning? The semantic tree method. He starts with the trunk and branches (core principles) before diving into leaves (details). For rocket science, he mastered physics, combustion, and materials first, then built on that foundation. 🛠️
Most people fail by chasing details without understanding the structure. Musk’s method ensures knowledge sticks and can be applied across fields like AI and renewable energy. 🔗

3. Raised by Books 📖

Musk’s learning began young in South Africa, reading up to 10 hours a day. By age nine, he’d finished the entire Encyclopedia Britannica and consumed sci-fi to biographies. 📚
This broad reading fuels his ability to connect unrelated fields—physics informs AI, economics shapes Tesla’s scaling. Musk recommends books like Walter Isaacson’s biographies of Benjamin Franklin and Einstein for lessons in leadership and innovation. 🌍

4. Applying Knowledge to Solve Problems 🔧

Reading isn’t enough—Musk applies what he learns. After studying rocket propulsion, he designed SpaceX’s Falcon 1. His AI knowledge powers Neuralink and Tesla’s self-driving tech. 🚗
Musk says, “When you struggle with a problem, that’s when you truly understand it.” He tests hires by asking them to explain problems they’ve solved—real thinkers can break it down clearly. 💡

5. Musk’s Learning Lessons for You 🌟

Here’s how to learn like Musk:

• Start with the Basics: Master core principles before details. 🌱
• Read Broadly: Explore diverse topics to spark innovation. 📚
• Apply Knowledge: Turn learning into action—solve problems or start projects. 🛠️

Musk’s success proves you don’t need formal education—just curiosity, persistence, and strategy. As he says, “If you’re trying to do something exceptional, you must have evidence of exceptional ability.” 💪 Dropping out worked for Musk, Bill Gates, and Larry Ellison—focus on doing, not degrees.
