The Improved You

Money is to be made. You always have to be making money. You always have to be making moves, making plays. You can’t be stagnant. You can’t afford to be doing nothing. The fact of the matter is that either you’re moving forward or you’re moving behind. So if you think that you’re staying still, you’re actually moving behind. You’re always either building, or you’re destroying. You have to always stay on the building side. Stay consistent with your hustle. Stay consistent with your elevation. Don’t be the same guy today that you were yesterday. And for sure don’t be the same guy tomorrow that you were today. Progress has to be second nature to you, first nature even. Let’s get to the paper.

Invest in yourself. Before you put your money into anything else, before you trust anybody else with your bread, before you believe in anything more than you, choose to believe in yourself. Choose to put the money into yourself before you start sending it off to everyone else. Putting money into the stock market, into the bond market, into real estate, always makes sense. But what makes even more sense is taking all of the paper you’re earning and putting it into yourself. Spend it on classes to learn new skills. Put it into degrees to get accredited to make new moves. Put it into your fashion and your appearance. Put it into yourself first, build yourself up first, and once you get where you need to get to, then you can start diversifying into other arenas. But before you decide to start diversifying your portfolio make sure that you have first went all in on yourself.

They don’t want it as bad as you want it, because they don’t need it as bad as you want. Of course they can’t compete with you. You are the 1, you are that guy. You are the champ. These hoes can’t do what you do. These are lesser beings than you. These are people that not only aren’t on your level, they don’t even belong in the same conversations you’re in. They don’t even deserve to be in the same building as you, much less the same room as you. You are on a way different level than they’re on.

They may not think that you can do it. They probably don’t think that you have what it takes. They don’t think you’re willing to put in the effort that it takes to dominate because THEY don’t put in the effort that it takes to dominate. But you work. And you work at a level way above the level they’re working out. Your input is so much greater than their input that it pretty much guarantees that your income is gonna be way more than their income. But it is what it is. This is what you expect. This is what you deserve. You are a boss, you make boss moves, and of course you end up getting the boss results. It’s just a part of it. Be the best.

Ignore the pettiness of others. You don’t got time for the small stuff, don’t got time for the sucker shit. You got to be way more concerned with the big money moves. Who did this, who did that – that shit is irrelevant. Worried about what someone said about you, worrying about some low level gossip, fuck all of that. Your focus, your concentration, has to be on that big boy talk. That real paper chasing ish. Solidly scoping for the bag. Thinking about millions, thinking about billions. We ain’t thinking about that small change. We aren’t worried about the pocket change. We’re not worried about taking any losses, because we’re always so busy stacking up these wins. We can’t even worry about what’s going wrong, or the possibility of anything going wrong, because we got to spend all of our time thinking about what’s going right, what’s gone right, and what is gonna go right in the future. Get to the bag.

You’re going to level up, which means the you are going to have to deal with hate, you’re going to have to deal with jealousy. You can’t get to the top and think that everyone is about to be happy with you, or happy for you, because I can absolutely guarantee that they won’t be. But you got to ignore the naysayers. You’ve got to ignore those people that are holding you down, and holding you back. You’ve got to ignore anyone that isn’t celebrating you and is instead just hating on you. Recognize that they are at the bottom and you are at the top, and the only thing keeping them at the bottom is they’re not willing to put in the work and the effort that you’re putting in. If they were willing to do what you do, make the sacrifices that you make, put in the grind at the same level that you grind, they could be in the same position. But they’re not willing to do that. And you are willing to do that. And that burns their soul with every fiber. So fuck em. They know you’re better than them, because your standards are higher than theirs. Let them know it is what it is, and keep pushing. When you are the big dog there really isn’t even any point in acknowledging the poodles.

Think big. Dream bigger. Act the biggest. Don’t just go around doing this small, petty shit. Making dollar moves when it takes just as much time, just as much anxiety, just as much work to do the biggest jobs that will have the biggest gains. 2024, we aren’t doing any more of the small shit. We aren’t making any more of the small moves. We’re only making the best moves, the biggest moves. No small talk. No little ideas. No bullshit maneuvers. Just the biggest of plays, in order to get the best and biggest of results.

You can’t relax. You have to keep pushing, you have to keep making moves. You got to do what needs to be done, and then you need to do more. Now is not the time to be playing around. Now is never the time to be playing around, but now is always the time to be leveling up. No games to be played. No shortcuts to be taken. No rules to be broken. It’s all about elevation. It’s never about procrastination. It’s all about activating. Activate your mind. Activate your hustle. Activate your gratitude. Activate your generosity. Activate your life

Not only do you need to have the drive to be great, the drive to want more, the drive to succeed, you must EMBRACE that drive. You must EXPLORE that drive. You have to see what you’re made of. You have to figure out what you’re about. You have to find out your limitations. And the only way to find out your limitations is by pushing yourself to the limit. You have to find out where your limit is in order to push through it and push past it.

“If you don’t believe in yourself, who will?” is a common question. But it really should be asked, “If you don’t believe in yourself, who SHOULD?” Why should anyone else have more faith in you than you have? Well, guess what? When you take a job, you’re basically saying that the employer has more faith in your production than you do.
