The year 2017 was my prime. It reached the point where I was making as heavy as $800 per day.
The reason for this was because in that year, I was so dead set on self improvement and “fixing” myself that I worked my ass off from night and day trying to figure out ways to make more money.
I started new projects, started eBay dropshipping, started an eCommerce store and ran all of them smoothly by myself whilst juggling university. I was eighteen then.
At around January/February 2017 I had the idea to create a new project.
That is a screencap from the Paypal account I dedicated to that project.
You can watch the steady rise and decline of it’s income starting from January to December.
Now look at the paypal in 2018:
You can see that there has been a dramatic fall in income.
The cause of this is that during December 2017, I became too comfortable and decided to step out of the business world to focus on partying and spending time with girls.
I slept with a number of girls, travelled, partied, partied some more and became overly lazy. I was making so much money from my projects that I lost patience for other side activities. I dropped the Ebay dropshipping simply because I couldn’t be “bothered” continuing it. My online stores had a halt in sales, rather than spending time to sort it out I closed the store thinking it was useless. At that time my mind was simply focused on smashing women and enjoying the party life.
It was only when my income started to decrease permanently that I realised what was actually happening.
What is interesting is that at that point, I had access to more ways to make money than I did when I was at my prime. This is a concept that is explored in the book “The 5th Law”, when people get comfortable, that is when trouble tends to strike. I became so comfortable with what I already had that I felt no need to extend it any further.
The lesson that I have learned from this is that you should never sabotage the grind for what others are doing. I heard a statement which is said to be from Dr Dre which summarises this perfectly.
“While you’re all partying in the club, I’m making the music you dance to.” – Paraphrased.
We need to sometimes make sacrifices. I’ve gotten back into my habit again though it will take a gradual build up. Women, parties, and nonsense can wait.
Lifting weights: The key to everything in the world is being dedicated to your craft. People seem to have this idea that being built guarantees or gives you confidence. I used to think that way too until I realised that it was actually the opposite. Strength in character is all you need. Guys go to the gym to build muscle so that they can look better and ultimately attract more girls. In turn, girls know this. The amount of low confidence built men out there is ridiculous. Enhance your confidence then focus on gaining muscle and you’ll be fine.
I’m currently writing a book for myself. I’ve taken the Marcus Aurelius route and decided to write a book solely for myself. Nobody else will see this but me. It is essentially filled with vital information and studies that I have picked up over the years.
I’ll share two points from the book that I think may be of interest.
“Never let a person who is more successful than you work harder than you.”
This is one of my favourite thoughts.
Picture this, Person A is a big fan of Person B.
Person B makes $10,000 a month.
Person A only makes $1000 per month.
Person A wishes he could be like person B and studies his lifestyle but takes things slowly.
Person B however, even though he makes $10,000 a month, still runs his multiple sources of income, grinds his ass off. Works stupidly hard to make sure his money keeps growing.
You should never let a person who is more successful than you work harder than you. That just doesn’t make any sense to me. If you ever want your position to change, you need to work harder than the person who you admire.
You can even use me as an example. There is no way you can make more money than me without putting in more effort. I stopped putting in effort and my income went down. It’s just that simple. When I started, I would work from 11am to 4/5am at night. I wouldn’t leave the house, only took breaks to eat and piss. I remember working so hard that my eyes strained to see the computer screen. I then have friends who work as security guards sleeping half of the time on the job complain that they don’t seem to make a lot of money.
“Friendliness disarms people. When meeting people in a limited social situation, be friendly.”
Never let person who is more successful than you work harder than you.
Focus on improving yourself. Women don’t matter that much.
Stop wasting time.
There are things right now you could be doing to set you apart from the rest. Focus on that and not whether or not some girl replied to your text.
Remember, every human has 24 hours in a day. The only difference between you and that self made millionare is how you spend your 24 hours.

Have you ever seen a millionare shopping at your local store? What about a nightclub? Have you ever seen a millionaire or billionaire dancing in your local night club? Most of you will say no to this but why is that?
"Rich people have access to more expensive locations."
This is true but surely it would be logical for a rich person or celebrity to commonly go to a local nightclub? Wouldn't that guarantee women and attention? Think about it. Where would a millionare have more success? An average nightclub/bar filled with your average clubbers or an expensive location where celebrities are so common that the staff doesn't even notice you.
The answer is the average nightclub and yet you hardly ever see silly rich men in there.
Let me explain why.
Recently I have started watching a show known as 'Pablo Escobar El Patron del mal', a brilliant show that beautifully captures all the topics I have ever written about. There was a powerful quote I picked up from it that covers my point exactly. For those who don't know, Pablo is a drug lord who transports drugs to the USA making him a billionaire. At one point, he finds out that his brother in law has started sniffing Cocaine. When discussing it Pablo says exactly this:
"We sell Cocaine to the Americans. They snort it. We don't. We are healthy people."
This is absolutely beautiful and reminded me of a discussion I had with a few individuals a while ago. I know two people in the adult industry. One man makes porn videos with his girlfriend, the other makes porn video games. Both earn 10k per month. When discussing things with them I found out that neither of them enjoy watching nor glorifying sex. The man making porn videos doesn't watch porn, the man making games doesn't play or watch porn games for pleasure. It's all "business" to them.
I found this concept extremely interesting and it brings me back to the nightclub topic. Nightclub owners are never in their own nightclubs drinking and dancing. They KNOW how bad all of it is but see it as a business. I made a conscious decision to quit nightclubs after I learned this fact and once you see it too, you will lose all interest for nightclubs and bars.
Inside a nightclub 90% of the people there are hopeless robots. I wish it wasn't so harsh but that's the reality. They have NO drive to continue. These people aren't living life, they are merely existing. They spend all week working long shifts just to come to a nightclub on the weekend, take drugs and blow money on alcohol. While they are doing that the nightclub owner is lying on a beach half way across the world at a private party.
Rich men or for lack of a better term, "successful" men don't appear in public because the environment holds zero positives. Once you start earning a certain amount of income or your reputation is high enough, you will start visiting places that the general public find to be rather pointless. Keep in mind that I am basing this post entirely on my study of the highest rich and successful individuals on the ladder. When it comes to comparison, don't compare yourself to the more attainable goal, compare yourself to the highest person that exists.
I want you to seriously sit down and think about this for a moment. Study the behaviour of those who own large or even small businesses but are successful. Do you see them engaging in their own scene or product?
Does the CEO of Mcdonalds eat at Mcdonalds?
Does Mark Zuckerberg spend as much time as the average person on Facebook?
My favourite example is the Dr Dre situation in which he stated that whilst people partied to his music in nightclubs, he was at home making the music.
Or if you want a closer to home situation, take a look at Pickup groups like RSD. I have studied the steps of the coaches and I find it absolutely interesting how they continue to sap money from their clients who seem to turn off their brain at every possible encounter. These coaches tell you to approach a number of women every day, they give you motivational speeches, they tell you to jump, shout, do crazy things and they give you the opportunity to pay them thousands of dollars/pounds for a "bootcamp" session. Yet how many times have you seen them do what they preach? Do you think for one second that any of these coaches in their daily lives approach women on the street? Jump and act crazy to strangers? What about boot camps? Do you think that the pickup artists paid thousands and thousands of dollars to learn how to pick up girls? This is genuinely so intriguing to me. The two most known and richest pickup artists in the world have said numerous times that in order to learn what they did, they had to go out and fail a stupid amount of times. They didn't pay anything to learn what they know or gain what they have yet people ignore that.
There is a common advice that states that you should watch what a person does, not what they say. I fully stand by this. If a man tells you to buy his course on making money, you should first find out if he did the same thing to get to where he is. More often than not, the answer is no. They play you.
One of my greatest annoyances about the RedPill is it's ridiculous focus on women. Let me say this once more; I have never met a successful or rich man (excluding those who are dating coaches) who focused/cared so much on women. Not even once. Have you ever noticed why these men seem to just have some of the most loyal women by their sides? You think these men care if they lose their wives?
There was an article recently about a gamer choosing to break up with his girlfriend who has been dubbed "The world's sexiest weather woman" so that he could focus on his career. Several men have hit back calling him a fool.
To me, that move was one of the most incredible things I've seen in a while.
The man on the other hand now has the highest possible value he could want. Other women will want him simply due to his status and the fact that he discarded an attractive woman. Other men, whilst jealous will want to be him.
Roll back a little and look at how he met his girlfriend. He worked his ass off making money via playing video games. This managed to put him in one of the top spots making him essentially a millionaire. With his acquired wealth, it allowed him access to visit high end events where along with meeting several other high status individuals, he managed to meet his ex girlfriend.
Does my point begin to make sense?
Had he decided to sit home and just continue playing video games for entertainment, he wouldn't have gotten anywhere nor would he have gotten into the circles that he reached.

Honestly I have nothing but respect for this man. He wants to dedicate his whole time to becoming a champion player. Keep in mind, he is already earning a heavy amount of money and has enough to sit and relax but yet he sees his relationship as a distraction and ends it to gain more focus.
"Never let a person who is more successful than you to work harder than you."
I said this in my old post and it still rings true. If you want to be successful in life, you need to work hard and put aside your distractions. Do you think for one second that the man above couldn't get another girlfriend if he wanted one? Women will be filling in lines.
The only thing that is and should be important to a man is developing themselves to be a better man and improve their standing in success.
That is all.
