(9 Steps to Transforming your Life in One Year)

>>THREAD<<

 Before we get started, understand these 3 things:

1.) You will not achieve your goals overnight

2.) Some of these steps will make you uncomfortable

3.) There will be times where you struggle

Not okay with this?
Stop reading.

Ready to make shit happen?
Then let’s begin 👇
#1: Remove all sources of negativity.

- Toxic friends
- Bad relationships
- Disrespectful family

Most people have no interest in growth..

No interest in getting better..

But that’s not you.

NEVER let these people into your life.

And if they are…

GET THEM OUT
Find positive people.

Find people who want to get better.

Find those who are genuinely happy seeing you succeed and SURROUND yourself with them..

They exist, but you have to find them.

“3 great friends is better than 20 ‘eh’ friends.”
#2: Lift weights and eat right.

Imagine going from:

~ Fat
~ Acne
~ Skinny
~ Little arms
~ & Swimming in your clothes..

To:

~ Toned
~ Muscular
~ Clear skin
~ Having a jawline
~ & Filling your clothes

Your confidence skyrockets, you feel amazing, the rest of your life improves
Here’s my advice to making this happen:

1. Lift weights 3-4x per week
2. Eliminate all sugar (fruits are an exception)
3. Eliminate snacking
4. Intermittent fast (4-6 hour eating period)

(cont..)
5. Get tons of protein & vegetables
6. Keep it simple

(Find YOUR routine, something YOU can stick to, consistency is all that matters here)
#3: Buy clothes that fit.

$500 oversized Supreme shirts make you look like a child.

Put on some muscle & buy clothes that fit.

You’ll save money, you’ll look more mature, and you’ll be 1000x more attractive

@WellBuiltStyle has an amazing account for this.
#4: Fix your attitude

One of the quickest ways to have someone thinking “Damn… you’ve CHANGED!”

is by changing your attitude towards everything:

• How you control emotions
• Your reaction to bad news
• Your outlook on the future

(Here are a few attitude-fixing habits)
A) If someone disagrees with you, ask questions instead of getting defensive.

B) Avoid gossip at all costs.

C) Eliminate ALL complaining. No one likes somebody who bitches all the time.

D) Take blame for everything. There is always SOMETHING you could’ve done better.
E) Talk less & listen more. You’ll appear more mature, respectable, and interested.

F) No matter what it is, you’ll get it figured out. (If someone else has done it, you can too)

G) You can have whatever you want if you work for it. Engrain this in your mind.
#5: Be smart with your money

We all know someone who is god-awful with their money.

If one day, that person told you they made $10,000 last month and they’re building a business..

YOU’D BE SHOCKED!

So get your money right.

(Here’s my advice) 👇
A) Get a better job. Waiting at a high-end restaurant or car sales at a well-known dealership can have you earning $60,000 your first year.

B) Quit buying dumb shit. Gucci shoes, $500 bottle service, multiple $60 video games.. YOU DON’T NEED IT.
C) Build something that’ll pay you while you sleep. You can’t work 24 hours/day, but your twitter account can.

D) Learn a skill that you can charge $1000s for (Facebook Ads, Web Design, Email Marketing)

This is the quickest way to transform your financial status

(cont..)
Your New Year’s Resolution:

- Find businesses
- Help them get more customers
- Charge $2000/mth to do so

With no experience required, you can learn it all here: https://t.co/8kX8O8bRxM

5 Clients = $10,000 per MONTH 💰

The #1 Resource to help you get there 👇
#6: Surround yourself with greatness

Want to get in shape?
- Surround yourself with fit people

Want to become wealthy?
- Surround yourself with wealthy people

Want to become a failure?
- Surround yourself with people that have no future

It’s that simple.
#7: Be confident

• Eye contact in conversations
• Say less than necessary
• Speak loud & clear
• Walk with authority
• Firm handshakes

Practice each of these points.

People find this attractive, and if you weren’t doing this before, they will surely notice.
#8: Read

No.

Reading isn’t going to make you “look” different..

But depending what you read,

It will transform the way you think, write, & behave.

(Here are some of my Top Book Recommendations📚) 👇
📖 When I Stop Talking You’ll Know I’m Dead - Weintraub

📖 How to Win Friends & Influence People - Carnegie

📖 The Millionaire Next Door - Stanley

📖 The One Thing - Keller

📖 Atomic Habits - Clear

These books will put the right information in your head.
#9: Have an open mind

If you’re completely closed off to new ideas,

You’ll never grow.

~ Consider other options
~ Put yourself in their position
~ Believe that you CAN be wrong

Open-minded people see opportunities where most people do not.
And finally, we are done.

2020 was a trainwreck for most people, and those same people will say the same thing about 2021..

Following these 9 steps will give you everything you need to go from a:

“2020 SUCKED!” person..

To a:

“2020 WAS AMAZING!” person.

(cont..)
I hope you make the best of this new year.

But ultimately:

—> Things are what you make of them.

Be patient when working on the steps on this thread.

I genuinely thank you for reading.

Much love,

and Happy New Year

Gather round, Gentle Readers. It is time I tell the story of the worst decision I ever made in an office. Some of you have heard this. Some have not. Whatever you do in your office today, this week, the rest of this year, you can console yourself by recalling this tale.

A long time ago, I was a talent agent. I worked for a woman named Susan Smith, who had her own small boutique agency. She was known for three things:

1. She had fantastic taste in clients. If there is someone you admire, odds are good that at some point, she was their agent,

2. She could negotiate a deal like few who have ever trod the earth. Casting would give her all the money they had budgeted for that part, plus a little more, plus promising to get her dog Barnaby groomed. She was magnificent to watch.

3. She was insane.

I'm sure you're thinking, "Quinn, it's the entertainment industry, they are all insane." Yes, many are. So consider this; if you told someone you worked for Susan, people who worked for insane people would look and you and whisper, "I hear she's insane."

How to get smarter very fast:

Interact with smart people here on Twitter who have different world-views than you do.

And let them change your mind on something.

Here are the 30 people you should follow (along with my favorite tweet from each)👇👇

Twitter can be terrible if you follow negative people.

It can also be more valuable than a college degree if you follow (and network with) the right people.

You get to look right into their brain and read a daily narrative of HOW they think.

Ok lets go:

#1: @ShaanVP

You know he's all about venture capital based entrepreneurship. I'm about small (non-sexy) business. We disagree on a lot of stuff.

But he's done it and he's won. Bonus follow: @theSamParr (@myfirstmilpod podcast


#2: @fortworthchris

He is where I want to be in 15 years. Has built a massive real estate private equity firm from the ground up. Super grounded with what the way he does business and his podcast @theFORTpodcast is top


#3: @Julian

I'm a scattered thinker and procrastinator.

Julian is a master of clear thinking and simple but effective writing. A world class example of content marketing and

5 modern thinkers that have shaped my outlook on health, wealth, and life.

// Thread //

1) Jordan Peterson @jordanbpeterson

Deserves much more than a small thread on twitter, as most of my recent transformations are due to this man.

I started pushing outside my comfort zone. I cleaned my room, and slowly fixed myself to the best of my ability. I toughened up and started treating myself like I mattered.

Dr. Peterson taught me to never be afraid to stand up for what you believe in, and do not apologize if you did not do anything wrong.

2) Elon Musk @elonmusk

I man known by many, understood by a few. I have watched Elon create amazing things, from electric cars, neuro implants, space travel, and yes ever flamethrowers.

Welp, I have no sound on the phone line for this news conference, so I shall tune in via video. Kenney is speaking and there is a photo of the boreal region.

Lost video too! Before that cut out, Kenney said they are expanding the Kitaskino Nuwenëné Wildland Provincial Park.

Back on the phone line. Environment and Parks Minister Jason Nixon. Athabasca Oil surrendered 23,500 acres in that region. Cenovus surrendered more than 60,000 acres.

Chief Peter Powder, Mikisew Cree First Nation, says we need to protect the watershed, the caribou habitat. Expansion of the Kitaskino Nuwenëné Wildland Provincial Park in the Athabasca Delta will protect most vulnerable species, he says

Powder thanks the federal government for financial support for the parks and thanks the province for supporting the vision.

Most software founders, particularly in B2B, need to get radically better at sales. @Steli , who is the best person for explaining the scrappy stages in the beginning and then building out a team with scripts and processes, wrote a guide to:

For technical founders it is irrationally, obscenely hard to reverse years of programming (ba dum bum) that sales is a value-destroying activity. Sales is CLEARLY a value-creating activity, contingent on you have a value-creating product.

The world will not drop what they are doing to adopt your work. This is particularly true in B2B, where simply building a better mousetrap won't overcome the activation energy required to get people with additional non-mice problems to prioritize changing mousetraps today.

This is very non-obvious for founders because founders are not often people who *want* to be sold to. We often come from a background where trying out tools is a bit of a fun hobby. We like looking at all the options, making charts, and ripping out partially complete tests.

"This week I unsuccessfully trialed four software options for automating that thing that has been killing us. Our actual production process remains the same as last week. Don't worry; this was a great use of time." is not a thing you want to write in a progress report to manager.

A thing which I unironically and enthusiastically believe which is unpopular among smart people of my acquaintance: financial engineering has in the recent past and present contributed substantially to human welfare. We should hope to see more of it.

Maybe more geeks need to meet someone who says “My job is teleporting value across time and space.”

Financial engineering is sort of a squishy term. I don’t primarily mean payments infrastructure or financial rails, although both of those involve substantial engineering.

I mean more “We took a thing and performed some alchemy, and now have a new thing.”

Except instead of alchemy it is generally quite a bit of math, a huge amount of contract law and due diligence, often an impressive amount of ops work, and a dusting of technology that web devs would recognize as such.

The first ever world map was sketched thousands of years ago by Indian saint
“Ramanujacharya” who simply translated the following verse from Mahabharat and gave the world its real face

In Mahabharat,it is described how 'Maharishi Ved Vyasa' gave away his divine vision to Sanjay


Dhritarashtra's charioteer so that he could describe him the events of the upcoming war.

But, even before questions of war could begin, Dhritarashtra asked him to describe how the world looks like from space.

This is how he described the face of the world:

सुदर्शनं प्रवक्ष्यामि द्वीपं तु कुरुनन्दन। परिमण्डलो महाराज द्वीपोऽसौ चक्रसंस्थितः॥
यथा हि पुरुषः पश्येदादर्शे मुखमात्मनः। एवं सुदर्शनद्वीपो दृश्यते चन्द्रमण्डले॥ द्विरंशे पिप्पलस्तत्र द्विरंशे च शशो महान्।

—वेद व्यास, भीष्म पर्व, महाभारत


Meaning:-

हे कुरुनन्दन ! सुदर्शन नामक यह द्वीप चक्र की भाँति गोलाकार स्थित है, जैसे पुरुष दर्पण में अपना मुख देखता है, उसी प्रकार यह द्वीप चन्द्रमण्डल में दिखायी देता है। इसके दो अंशो मे पीपल और दो अंशो मे विशाल शश (खरगोश) दिखायी देता है।


Meaning: "Just like a man sees his face in the mirror, so does the Earth appears in the Universe. In the first part you see leaves of the Peepal Tree, and in the next part you see a Rabbit."

Based on this shloka, Saint Ramanujacharya sketched out the map, but the world laughed

Maker movement is doing to startups what startups did to corporations.

Here is why 👇

Startups fixed the problem of innovation, that corporations lack.

In big, slow corporations, innovation is a RISK and distraction from the core $$$ profitable business.

Agile startups could launch, iterate fast and eventually stumble upon new growing market opportunities.

However,

When a startup reaches product-market-fit, it has to 🚀 "grow at all costs" and reach market dominance before some giant corporation can replicate their new product and distribute it to their existing giant customer base.

Startup's "growth at all costs" often means growth at the expense of charging customers $$$ money.

Hence, to be sustainable, startups have to constantly chase investor money.

Startup teams spend more time finding and pleasing investors, than finding and pleasing customers.

95% of startups die because they run out of (investor) money + no business model + crazy investor expectations.

Same way corporations die, when unable to adjust to new technology and market shifts.
