The reason most people never get rich is because they're unwilling to sacrifice the fast money for the big money, so they hop from shiny opportunity to shiny opportunity, never sticking with something to get good enough to see something stack.

Strong recommendation for businesses doing over $50M per year.
Memos. I cannot emphasize enough how transformative memos have been for Leila and I. A culture of memos.
Plans are more thought out. Meetings are more productive. People can see the entire picture before a conversation begins. Theres far more structure and clarity around decisions. Complex decisions and initiatives can get buy in from the top down because everyone getrs the same information. It's better for buy in and transparency. You have documentation for tinking process for new hires. I could go on.
But I think the main reason I love them is this: Unclear thinking has no place to hide in written word.
And you will quickly see who on your team thinking clearly vs. the ones who are just good at talking. And that may be the single best razor of all.

Imagine you finally achieve your life wealth goal. Really think about it.
Now imagine everyone you know in this dream has 3 times more than you.
If imagining this makes you instantly want to make more, know that you make money for other people, and not yourself. You're trying to buy status, not freedom. Because status only has one price: "more than everyone else." And you're surprised you never feel like you have enough but that's exactly the price of the only thing you want to buy.

...you don't have to sacrifice what average people care about?
...they will support you when you start to pass them?
...anyone will think this is healthy, balanced, or logical?
No. But you're not doing it for them anyways. You're doing it for you.

Many people say they want to be in the top 1% or top 0.1%, or even top 0.01% - but saying that has zero bearing on whether it happens.
Most business owners wildly underestimate the amount of volume that is required to win.
Achievement comes from actions, not aspirations.

The most important success principle is consistency. Being able to keep doing the same thing day after day without immediate satisfaction.
The problem is, to witness consistency, you need to be consistent.

What success is for you when youâre 20 will be different when youâre 30 and it will be different when youâre 40.
And thatâs okay.
Changing your mind with new information is a sign of maturity, not inconsistency.

The only thing more contagious than a virus is belief.
Belief that you can - and - belief that you can't.
Surround yourself with people who help you catch the right kind.

There's only really one belief you need to win:
Belief in your ability to figure it out.
That's it. Start - you'll figure out the rest.

The biggest reason the rich get richer (besides compounding) is they avoid things that don't make enough money.
The more money you have, the more selective you are about which things are worth doing because fewer things move the needle for you.
If you make decisions like you have a lot of money, you make more faster.
This rich selection bias is arguably one of the most important because it denotes where they allocate their attention - and as a result - get more for what they put in.
Opportunity vehicle selection, rather than pure effort, is why they get such high returns.

You don't get burnt our from working too much. You get burnt out when the things you work on no longer give you the same joy they once did, or that joy comes at too long of a delay.
You're not working too much. You're getting too little.

Most people think the hard part is getting started.
The hard part is continuing to do the work when the excitement wears off and the grind feels hopeless.

General comparison makes you bitter. Specific comparison makes you better.
There is nothing more useless than "they have more than me" without asking "what did they do that I am not doing?"
