Study hard
Read the side bar
Lift weights
Learn how to sell
Learn how to start a business
Quit porn

Don't be lazy and read the sidebar. There's no shortcut to success.

Lift, lift, lift and lift.

Lose the body fat, it's unattractive.

Build abundance.

Never commit, cut your losses quickly with women.

Escalate.

Ignore every word your mother ever said.

Women fucking love all aspects of sex and if they seriously pretend otherwise it's because they aren't attracted to you.

Women don't need, expect or mention commitment as a condition of sex if you're attractive.

Things I don't need to tell my 18 year old self that I got right:

Work hard
Build career
Maintain friendships
Be good to your fellow men

I'm often told that I'm "very good with my money", but all that really stands behind that observation is my commitment to saving my money. You start by not making a habit of giving into stupid shit that will slowly burrow a hole through your wallet, like not making a routine of buying the $5 latte, not shopping for clothes "just because", not getting a pair of Beats by Dre Headphones because they're "sick" and "everyone has them", not throwing away money at the bar etc.

In short, aspire to make a lifestyle out of out-saving your spending

For the love of god figure out what you want to do early on and pursue it hard as fuck. An ounce of prevention=a pound of cure.

So if you're in school, crush it, if you have an idea for a business, do it on the side.

Try to line up a summer internship after the first semester, or get ahead on hours by taking summer classes. Definitely get an internship asap though.

Lift, but i did that when i was 18 and is pretty obvious.

Learn to cherish your alone time. This is when empires are built.

Use the library when you need to remove yourself from "the end-all be-all party". There's ALWAYS another party, think long term. FOMO is for weak-minded pussies.

No tv no porn no jacking off.

The brain is made stronger by socializing, physical activity, and learning new things. Do all three.

Learn how to have fun sober.

Hey man, I'm 22 years old, not old enough to give advice to someone but here are something I wish I did when I was 18:

1) Lift weights 2) Learn how to sale, especially running e-commerce business 3) Be a social butterfly, talk to everyone, even strangers 4) Save more money 5) Stop being a doormat, stop trying to please everyone 6) Learn how to figure out who is the most important person in the room, and offer him/her value

Me to me: "Fucking bang those bitches throwing themselves at you, you beta fuck!"

I would tell my 15 year old lazy fuck self to stop playing video games, read, not smoke weed and not quit Judo/BJJ. I would be a black belt in both by now instead, I'm a white belt in BJJ.

Meditate and use the power you gain for good
