      @@lynoxroyal9587 I think you do it by exploring stress factors/anxiety.

If new actions leave you either feeling bored a lot or over stressed, then they aren’t matching your nature.

  • @nixtoshi
    @nixtoshi 4 роки тому +145

    Takeaways from mistakes you do in your 20s:
    *Mistake 1:* Using your energy and limited actions to maximize money, instead of maximizing time. Thinking that time is unlimited, and money is scarce. Therefore spending time and money with a short-term vision to make short-term gains, or get short-term comfort. All actions should be weighed against at least a 10-year vision. Taking the actions that benefit the long term vision are always the correct actions. Ie. Gaining experience, building a resume and focusing on being cool among girls instead of focusing on a long term business.
    *Mistake 2:* Getting too comfortable with your achievements so far. Not taking big risks because you want to protect what you achieved so far. Not deploying capital you can afford to lose, not sacrificing your existing comfort, or other irrelevant aspects of your life for a bigger goal or dream.
    *Mistake 3:* Following others. Trying to replicate others, because you haven't defined yourself yet. Not identifying your own unique strengths and letting yourself be different, not doubling or tripling down on what makes you, you.

      ​@@tingsborg9375 you're becoming way too dependant on her if you do everything together. First you need to learn how to be properly alone, meditation, reading, working out and all kinds of different stuff, with pure focus. Then after you've mastered your own alone time, I guess spending some more of your time like that with your girlfriend would make sense. But you need to prioritize what's really important to you. Different people have different goals. Just because I'm saying this doesn't mean I'm right though. I'm a different person. I wouldn't want to rely on other people too much, first I want to rely on myself, and then I want to be responsible for others, still not to rely on them. People come and go, who knows what will happen in a few years. Maybe you will have her as your wife and you will have kids and a beautiful home. But will your goals be fulfilled then? Maybe she or you will have an accident or something else will happen that will split your paths, you might become heartbroken if you rely on her too much I guess, then you might become regretful of why you haven't followed your ambitions most of all. Maybe then things would have worked out different, and you still would have had her as your wife, because you were strong enough to protect the relationship? Who knows.. life is small decisions unfortunately, but some things you know deep inside, you just need to search for it and open your mind to it. Good luck.

    OMW! I needed to hear this! I was battling with making up my mind about a job I am getting for experience and short term financial goals versus staying in it for years 'for experience'. I know now that I was about to trap myself in a scarcity mindset. Time is the scarce resource here, that's what being part of a 'system' makes you forget. Time is the finite resource, not money. Great video!

    This video is making me want to cry. I’ve just made a decision to leave a business partnership that has provided a great income and lifestyle but hadn’t grown over the past year (in my eyes), in order to pursue my own long term goals. You really hit home because I’m 26 with a young family and I have spent my 20’s working my ass off, trying to work myself out and think where I want to be long term. I’m probably going to take a hit short term but I know where I’m going is worth it. Thanks Alex.

    I'm 29 now... I had/have an excess of stupidity but none of the confidence. That was crushed early in my childhood and teens (if it was ever really there to begin with), followed by chronic depression, a metric shit ton of anxiety, stress and self-esteem issues which caused longterm unemployment and multiple burn-outs. But I'm finally trying to turn it around despite being crippled by college debt, having no savings and being broke. Having no guidance or a mentor in your life really is a handicap that's difficult to overcome in a world that's so fast-paced. My one redeeming quality is that I'm decent at drawing... But that's about it. Devouring content on self-improvement in the hopes of regaining some semblance of confidence so I can do something without burning out again.

    - Make sure the future you in 2031 takes priority, not the current you
    2. Build my own character, play to my own strengths
    - Never mimic other people, don't compare because it makes you play to your own weaknesses
    - Triple down on my own weirdness and do what makes me "me"

    @sebastianshine4262 4 роки тому +3

    Most important point and a great reminder
    11:35 - 11:51
    I understood the concept of making more money and not making more time early on, in my late teens. But what is even greater advice in my opinion is to look how you balance it as you spoke about in the part of the video mentioned above.
    I went from money-scarecity (cause of upbringing) to time is scarce and money, well, not abundant yet in my account but i went from "if it already is worth my time. Then it definitely is worth my money. So the opposite it true too: if I'm not cool with spending money on it, then I mustn't spend time on it."
    And that guided me for the past years in a major way in all that I'm doing.
    But I find it hard to explain to others.
    So I think the a very very good way to start is to ask how easily ready are you to invest time? Compared to your money?
    If it's clear that you spend time more rapidly without thought, there's a lesson there.
    Edit: I feel like I should clarify that the mindset shift to "you can always make more money and time is the scarce ressource" didn't led me to riches yet. But it definitely made me invest my time in reading, reflecting, investing, risking, trying, failing over and over. And basically just made it possible for me to hunt down my dreams. From doing so you get the confidence that it's more than possible to reach it. You don't let other people talk you out of it anymore. And you get to know more and more how to get there though the failures (experiences) and gained knowledge.
    Edit 2: let me talk about why the video part is so important. So, KNOWING that time is more valuable is something a lot of us already know. If not most. But what now? Well, we need a way to IDENTIFY if we already apply this knowledge. A way of "tracking" or measurement if you will.
    You do that by COMPARING how easily ready you are to spend time vs spending money. How much do you hesitate for one? And don't do it for the other? How easily are you convinced to spend one compared to the other? And how easily do you give away one compared to the other to people in need who are not even close to bankruptcy with time or money? Losing which of them created more angry moments in your past? And I'm not talking about losing time to the stupid relationship you had somewhen, pointing the problem on somebody else. I mean the moments when you spend your years gaming or hanging out in the clubs. Or doing other stuff that gave you like a 7-10 on the shortterm happiness ladder. But which compared to your dreams would be maybe only a 5-7. If even so.
    The short videopart is the best way I have ever heard explain how to measure where you're at with this principle.
    Only knowing is not merely enough. We gotta keep ourselves accountable through measurement
