Hard work isn't enough. Focus on: • What you work on • Who you work with • How hard you work Then work hard.

Carefully select who you work with. • Low energy → laziness • Low integrity → betrayal • Low intelligence → incompetence Find people with high energy, high integrity, and high intelligence.

Average people focus on memorization. Smart people focus on understanding.

Everyone can get rich. You just need to educate yourself. Skills + hard work + time = wealth.

You won't get rich by renting out your time. You need to own a part of a business. Disconnect your time from your income.

Your reputation is everything. • What you do • What you say • What you think All need to be aligned.

You control your input. You don't control your outcomes. So focus only on what you can control. Be impatient with actions but patient with results.

Desire = unhappiness "Desire is a contract with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want." Desire shows that you lack something. So keep your desires limited. Focus on the biggest one.

In short: • Prioritize integrity • High-quality people • Desire = unhappiness • Everyone can get rich • Hard work isn't enough • Jobs won't make you rich • Understanding > memorization • Impatience with actions, patience with results
