What successful people understood before they were successful.

A short thread.

Mentorship isn’t about finding a great mentor.

It’s about becoming a person great mentors WANT to help.
Hiring isn’t about finding good people.

It’s about becoming a person good people want to work for.
Wealth isn’t about extracting value from others.

It’s about adding 10x as much value as you want to receive.
Winning doesn’t mean others lose.

The real winners help 1000 others win with them.
People do business with people they like.

Become a person others like.
You can’t please everyone.

Please the people who are who you want to become.
Business is about momentum.

What you do on day one will look nothing like what you’re doing on day 10,000.
You get ahead by saying yes to everything.

When you get momentum it’s much more about saying no.
A very small amount of your relative effort will generate an outsized amount of your success.

When you take time to zoom out and figure out what that is, you can do much more much faster.
Give up quickly.

Time is more valuable than money.
Being selfish is okay. Everyone is selfish.

Find a way to make sure everyone wins and everyone can be selfish for good reasons.

Selfish + abundance = wins

Selfish + scarcity = losses
1/2 the folks in this world are leaches.

Take take take. Give nothing.

Avoid these people. Do not bring them along on your journey. Do not hire them. They drag everyone down.
Sales is the key to success.

Being able to sell yourself and your ideas is how you win.
Being comfortable being uncomfortable is how you win.

Everything worth doing in this world requires you to get uncomfortable.
Entrepreneurship doesn’t have to be risky.

Opportunity =\= risky
Being a good businessman and having financial success is a small part of the big picture.

The key is finding a way to be a good friend, husband, father at the same time.
Consistency is way more important than efficiency.

Anything worth doing gets really tedious 2 years in. Year 2-5 is the critical period.

THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ

1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE


2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less.
https://t.co/UqtS1lpw3n


3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)

(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)


4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.

For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3


5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)

At the darkest days of the abuse I was being subjected to I decided to attend a conference for women in Los Angeles. I convinced my mother in law to pay for it because I couldn’t afford it. @ChristineCaine was preaching. I was desperate...

I wanted to die, I didn’t see a way out and I had tried everything. I imagined many ways to die daily. The most recurring one was throwing my car down a bridge I had to drive over every day. I never did it because my kids were in the car and I was afraid one of them would...

Christine spoke about honoring your pastors even when they weren’t great, she spoke of us expecting too much of pastors and how wrong that was. She said God would use our testimony if we submitted to our pastors.

She said “honor your pastors, God will honor you.” She said more about having disagreed with her pastors but she submitted and God honored her and now she’s blessed. How if they are faithfully serving God, we need to support them and not forfeit what God has for us.

I felt my heart drop into my stomach. I got up and went to the bathroom because I couldn’t breath and I felt like I was going to faint if I didn’t scream. I now know I was having a panic attack. I sat on the toilet w/my head between my legs, breathed and wept..
