Subcovery

Eternally unsatisfied with the easy route. I like my current set up, but I’ve become too comfortable. In nature, the animal with the least hardship eventually ends up at the bottom of the food chain.

I was meant for more. I’m grateful for every choice that has led me to where I am today, but my current situation is temporary. I will be responsible for family’s financial freedom.

Too much free time rots the mind. The human brain is programmed to crave problem solving. If you don’t give it problems, it starts to crater. I’ve come to realize that avoiding work is a cope for being unpleased with your current situation. Passive income is for the weak, and working less is not good for somebody earlier in their career.

You have to own assets. Smart people don’t sell assets unless they’re absolutely forced to. Knowing this, you have two options. You can either act as a broker and constantly bother people with good assets until they have a lapse in judgement. Alternatively, you can figure out how to build and manipulate assets yourself. I’m at the stage in life where I can build a lasting company that becomes worth something meaningful in five years.

Influence > hobbies. Like it or not, the best way to have influence is to earn more money. The easiest way to earn more is for you to be 100% responsible for making more money.

My other side gig is not going to make me the financial outcome I want (at least not yet). My other side project has built my authority and gotten me access to thousands of other people with authority. This lets me tap into that and build equity by selling to a larger audience.

I like selling something that makes people more money. This directly does that; other things I sell indirectly do that.
