Just a couple months ago, I had $0 in the bank, $0 coming in, and had no idea where my next dollar would come from. It's crazy how much your life can change if you focus on just a few things: 1. becoming obsessed with leveling up your skills to the point where you are one of the best in your industry. 2. Making sure that the people you spend time around excel in some areas that you don't, so by proxy, you become better. Do not hang around people who are losing and refuse to do things differently (losers). 3. Being able to actually solve problems. The majority of people in the AI space don't know how to solve problems that people pay money for. To first be able to solve other people's problems, you must first solve your own problems. 4. Ignore the noise. People talk. People like to give opinions. Especially the people around you, your friends, your family, the people that you follow, the people that follow you, etc. Do not listen to anybody unless they have a life that you would trade them for. Do not listen to anybody unless it is something that makes sense and feels right. Do you, regardless. If you're right, you win. If you're wrong, you learn. Happy Saturday.
