You have to be willing to be a fool and kind of have that beginner’s mind and go back to the beginning to start over. – Naval Ravikant
The real winners are the ones who step out of the game entirely, who don’t even play the game, who rise above it, and those are the people who have such internal mental and self-control and self-awareness that they need nothing from anybody else. – Naval Ravikant
Focus on Being Yourself and Following Your Own Path
Stop trying to emulate others and listen to your own voice.
If you could literally just sit… for 30 minutes and be happy, you are successful. – Naval Ravikant
Make Reading a Daily Habit
Consistently read and expand your understanding to improve your life.
Leverage Code and Media
Fortunes are being made through code and media, with examples such as podcasts, YouTube, and tech giants.
Act on Inspiration Immediately
When you have an idea or inspiration, act on it immediately instead of waiting for the perfect moment.
Be Impatient with Actions, Patient with Results
Get things done quickly and efficiently, but understand that the results may take time to materialize.
When you have your inspiration, do it right then and there. Inspiration is a beautiful and powerful thing, and when you have it, just seize it. – Naval Ravikant
