People with half your talent are making more money than you because they're too stupid to doubt themselves. They take risks, fail, and try again, while you're stuck overanalyzing and waiting for the perfect moment that never comes. Stop hesitating and start believing in

It’s okay to be lazy. You don’t have to be efficient all the time. Humans were not built to hustle 24/7. Go watch a movie. Play some video games. Binge Netflix. Avoid burning yourself out and get back to work when you’re rested. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

When a friend or family member comes to you upset, ask them a simple question first: "Do you want to talk about it and vent or are you looking for help to fix the problem?" Too often I try to come up with a solution when all they want is someone to listen.

You're going to hear conflicting advice from everyone. "Focus on one thing", "Diversify your income streams", "Pursue your dreams", "Be more realistic". Recognize that advice very rarely applies in all cases. It's up to you to pick and choose what path to follow.

The easiest way to a promotion or raise is to job hop. This is because the market rate for software engineers rises faster than what you can get at a company internally. I consistently out earned my peers by switching jobs every ~2 years or less.

I bought 11 bitcoin with my signing bonus in 2013, and I told all my friends that I would hold forever. I ended up panic selling for a 50% loss the very next year. Today, that mistake has cost me about $500,000. Realistically I would have paper handed either way. How many

Easiest way to get started with cryptocurrency is to dollar cost average into Bitcoin and Ethereum. I had 11 Bitcoin in 2014 and sold for a 50% loss one year later. That's worth almost $500,000 now. These are minimum 5 year investments, don't paper hand your crypto like I did.

Always negotiate your job offers. The company spent a lot of time and resources searching for a qualified candidate. You have more bargaining power than you think. The best negotiation tactic is to have competing offers. Never Split the Difference is a great book for more tips.
