Understand and embrace what drives you and what you fear

When you build something, you understand it inside out
Leaders create the organizational culture; investors bet on it
- Thus, find leaders who are similar to you and who believe in what their thing does

“I am more afraid of being broke than I am excited to be rich” – Ed Mylett
Accepting yourself is key to being successful
- Understand and embrace what drives you and what you fear
You change every year. But, at some point, people stop changing and start repeating themselves
- If you are not careful, the 30-year-old will think like the 20-year-old. That’s when you die in life
Focus on personal growth, the money and recognition will come

“You are gonna have an average ordinary life if you think like everyone else” – Ed Mylett
- The hardest thing as a young person is to recognize that fact and work to be different
Get in shape, your body is under your control and is a catalyst to changing your life and attitude
- Unlike controlling whether someone will buy your product or watch your video
“Self-confidence really is built by keeping the promises you make to yourself, that’s how you become confident, you keep promises you made to you” – Ed Mylett
- When you do what other people aren’t willing to do, your convince your mind that you deserve things other people don’t deserve
Something may seem easy on the outside, it’s a different story when you do it every day for years, endurance is important.
- For instance, when creating content or building businesses

Biggest mistake: “I bought stuff to impress people who didn’t care” – Ed Mylett
- Don’t spend all your money, stack cash, and capitalize on opportunities.
  - Buy things that appreciate, the younger you are the better
Use the Rule of 72 to understand the effect of compound interest
- To calculate how long you need to double your money, divide 72 by the interest rate
  - For instance, it takes 12 years to double your money at a 6% rate

More things come your way if you keep your humility
Life is not short, so stay disciplined
- The decisions you make in your 20s will shape your life
