Hey , 

I hope your weekend is going well.

Today I want to talk about one of the main obstacles stopping you from achieving success.

And I’m not talking about failure, self-doubt, or even judgement from people.

I’m talking about something many people don’t talk about: Boredom 

So there’s a story in Atomic Habits where the author of the book, James Clear, talks about a particular day when he went to a gym.

On that day, a coach came to visit who had worked with a lot of athletes.

Then James went over to talk to him and while they were talking, he asked the coach a question:

“What’s the difference between the best athletes and everyone else?”

And the coach said the things you would expect, like luck, genetics, and talent.

But then he said something unexpected. He said: 

“At some point, it comes down to who can handle the boredom of training every day, doing the same lifts over and over and over.”

He said the thing that sets top performers apart from everyone else is their ability to do the work, even when it is hard.

See, successful people feel the same lack of motivation as everyone else. 

What makes them different is that they still find a way to show up even when they are unmotivated or when the work is boring.

That’s the difference between professionals and amateurs.

The thing is, anyone can do the work if they feel motivated.

It’s being able to do the work when you’re not motivated that makes the difference.

Just like James says, “The greatest threat to success is not failure, but boredom.”

If I Wanted to Become a Millionaire In 2024, This is What I'd Do | Alex Hormozi

This video by Alex Hormozi is exactly what I needed to see at the moment. In it, Alex outlines a comprehensive blueprint for becoming a millionaire. 

He starts by defining a millionaire as someone whose net worth is more than a million dollars, excluding their main home. He talks about how he became a millionaire in his 20s and hit $100 million in wealth by age 31. 

He then talks about the two main ways to become a millionaire: creating a steady stream of income over time and owning assets that can be sold for a lot of money. 

He also talks about business strategy, marketing, scaling, and advertising, giving advice on how to find profitable ventures, target customers effectively, and make strategies better over time. 

Overall, the blueprint stresses how important it is to be optimistic, dedicated to learning, and make smart decisions in order to get and stay wealthy.

This video seems like it would be very helpful for you.
