It's simple. If you wanna get ahead of 99% of people in the world, then you need to be willing to do something that 99% of people are not willing to do. You are a marvel, my dear. Now I know that sounds obvious, but there's been a bit of a meme with a bunch of videos coming out claiming that they make you more successful than 99% of people in the world, and it turns out it's all the same shit you hear in every other video. Have goals, be more disciplined, goals. My housekeeper is disciplined. Everybody's trying to remove distractions. These things are not something that 99% of people don't do.

And monk mode, by the way, have you looked at the most successful people in the world? There is nothing resembling monkish behavior among them. Because let's be real, if an action is common, I e if you can literally get on YouTube and find hundreds of videos telling you to do it, then it's not gonna make you more successful than 99% of people. By definition, to be more successful than everybody else, you need to do what everybody else does not do. Here's a harsh truth for you. When it comes to success, the productivity hacks, the morning routines, most of this shit doesn't matter. And to prove my point, I'm going to share with you some of the basic habits of some of the world's most successful people throughout history, starting, obviously, with myself. See, when I started my business, every morning, I would wake up at about 11 AM, and I'll get myself a Red Bull and some Reese's cups. And then I would stay in bed for another 2 hours sitting on my laptop.

Tastes like ambition. I did this for 3 years, and I built a 6 figure business in my mid twenties doing it. In the first half of this video, I'm actually gonna break down what makes somebody more successful than 99% of the people on this planet. But before you get all excited and start rubbing your nipples no. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna go there. The second half of this video is going to explain to you why you might not actually want to be more successful than 99% of the people on this planet. Because like most important things in life, success is not simple.

It's actually pretty fucking complicated. So let's get into it. If you actually wanna be more successful than 99% of people, you have to, 1, have a contrarian idea, 2, be correct about that idea, and 3, execute on it massively. Let's start with number 1. Most people don't ever have a contrarian idea in their life. Let's be honest. Most people just kinda go with the flow and agree with whatever their friends tell them is cool that week. But there is a significant minority of people in society think for themselves and come up with some contrarian ideas or buy into some batshit crazy theories, which brings us to number 2.

Of all the people that have contrarian ideas, the vast majority of those contrarian ideas are not going to be correct. They're gonna be horribly wrong. They're gonna be embarrassingly wrong. This is actually the most difficult part of achieving insane amounts of success. You have to disagree with everybody and then be right. And even if you happen to disagree with everybody and be right about it, you have to be willing to execute. You have to put your ass on the line. Now when we look at super successful people, we tend to focus on that last part.

What's his morning routine? What sort of supplements did she take? Execution gets discussed most of the time because it's easy to observe. It's also easy to replicate. So while execution is incredibly important, it is not the thing that determines the magnitude of a person's success. Steve Jobs was not Steve Jobs because he woke up early and ate an ass load of fruit. Steve Jobs was Steve Jobs because he believed a full decade before anybody else that one day a computer would sit on every desk and be in every office in the entire world. And he was correct about it. Warren Buffett, every morning, goes to the McDonald's drive thru and gets the same piece of shit breakfast that you and I look down on. How is he not dead yet? Warren Buffett is Warren Buffett because consistently, he has identified companies that were extremely valuable that most other people thought sucked.
