🥕 “7 Things I Quit to Go From Broke to Millionaire” - Dan Martell

Don’t Spend Time With People Who Suck Your Energy

Do you have those people in your life who will never want to talk to you unless they want something or they’re bored?

I think we all have or at least know one person who acts like this and sad fact is, is that when we spend time with them or talk to them on the phone, it feels like you’re just wasting precious time listening to stuff that doesn’t matter.

Don’t get wrapped up in other peoples drama and only spend your time with people who help you move the needle otherwise you’ll find yourself getting dragged in very quickly. You have to stand guard at your gate.

Don’t Ask For Advice From People Who Haven’t Done What You Want To Do.

This one can sometimes be very triggering but hey, it’s the truth.

Let’s look at fitness…

If you’re in decent shape, you have a trainer who’s a professional bodybuilder who you aspire to be like yet some skinny dude comes up to you in the gym and says “Hey Carrot, you’re doing that the wrong way, you need to do it like this”.

Would you follow his advice even though you’d never want to look like him nor does he have the results to back up his claim?

Just something to think about…

So don’t take advice from people you never want to be like or those who haven’t done what you’re trying to do.

Don’t Blame Anyone Or Anything For Your Situation

When you blame other people, you lose the ability to control your situation and when you can’t control your situation, that’s when things start to (you guessed it) go out of control.

It’s your decisions that get you to where you are in life and ok… maybe we can’t control everything that happens to us, but we can control how we respond and that makes a huge difference.

Don’t Say Yes To Every Opportunity That Comes Your Way

Have you ever heard someone tell you that you should say “yes” to everything because that way you have unlimited opportunity?

Well my blunt response to this, is that it’s wrong.

What if you say “yes” to a lesser quality opportunity and “no” to a higher level opportunity and you can’t say “yes” to both?

You’ve cut yourself out of a higher level opportunity because you said “yes” to a lower level opportunity.

Another pitfall of saying “yes” to everything is that when you say “yes” to everything, you can’t do a high enough service to those exact things because you’re spread too thin and then you’re just simply wasting time and energy.

Don’t Be a Prisoner To Your Device

This one is pretty straightforward…

You have to remove the devices such as your mobile phone out of your room where you work if you want to stay focused and get s**t done.

It’s almost like a car going down the highway and stopping every time a notification comes through. It’s going to take you far longer to get to where you want to be and that’s IF you know where you’re heading.

So, set a plan, remove distractions and just go and keep going until you get there.

Don’t Read Books, Study Them

The real value from books that you read isn’t the information that you receive, it’s the application and implementation that you do once you’ve finished reading it.

You see, even I’ve been guilty of reading books just to get them off my checklist for the day and it’s more of a transactional activity that a transformational one.

If you look through the lens of “Hey, what I learn in this book, I’m going to have to teach someone else” then you’ll listen way more carefully and take impressive notes along the way and not just read / listen passively.

Figure out where you’re stuck at in life and only consume material that’s going to help you unlock that next door to walk through infront of you.

Don’t Compare Yourself To Anyone But Yourself

Look, this is something I’ve been guilty of my whole life and to be honest, it’s got me nowhere because I was always looking at what I didn’t have rather than what I did have. I was coming from a place of lack and desire rather than gratitude which of course didn’t make me feel good at all.

I was looking at my imperfections and things I didn’t have, scrolling social media and looking at all the things I wanted but didn’t have.

The only person you should compare yourself to is yourself.

Can you do better than yesterday?

Ask yourself…

“Why would I compare my chapter 1 to somebody else’s third novel"?”

Let me know which one you’re going to stop doing.
