Sentences that changed my life: • Winners failed more than losers. • You become what you watch, read, and listen to. • The best things in life are best pursued indirectly. • Nobody is coming to save you. You have to save yourself. • The more you f*ck around, the more you'll find out. • Live in the arena. Learn in the arena. Do everything in the arena. • Get obsessed with building leverage. • The easiest way to network with high-value individuals is to become a high-value person. • Selling is just helping people. • Marketing is giving people the opportunity to change their lives. • Become a polymath. Lift weights, run fast, build a business, become a philosopher. Do it all. • Money won't solve your happiness problem, but it will solve most of the problems that cause you unhappiness. • Blame yourself for everything. • The future belongs to those who create their own work, make their own income, and create their own schedule. • The more accountability you take, the more successful you'll become. • It's only cringe until you succeed.

I'm 25. 4 years ago I quit my 6-figure engineering job. But today, I run a 6-figure one-person business. I started with no skills, experience, or connections. 8 of the greatest lessons I learned: 1) Success is about survival. If you can stay in business for 1 extra year, you just increased your odds of success by 80%. 2) Nobody is coming to save you. Not your family, not your friends, not your teachers, not your employer. You have to save yourself. Create your own work, build your own products, sell your own products. 3) Learn how to write. Writing is how you think, how you speak, how you solve problems, understand your subconscious mind, make sense of the world, understand ideas, build products, and sell. If you can write well, you're set for life. 4) Get comfortable with failure. It's through failure that you learn, gain experience, knowledge, and wisdom. The people who fail the most before they succeed can actually see the value in what they have. 5) Be selective with whom you share your goals and dreams with. Not everyone needs to know what you're doing. Most people won't get what you're trying to do. They can't see the vision you have. Telling them about your goals will just add more pressure on you. Share what you've built after it succeeded, before that, keep it low-key. 6) Don't look to compete, look to cooperate. Business is a positive-sum game. The pie is big enough for everyone. Look for win-win situations between you and the people in your space. 7) Nobody cares about your potential, degrees, or education. People only care about what you can actually do. The more value you can bring to the table, the more people want to work with you. 8) Be genuine. There are so many grifters and scammers on social media. If you can be genuine with others, help them because you want to see them succeed, speak to people because you're genuinely interested in them and want to be friends with them is the easiest and fastest way to succeed. Hope this helps. Take care, Hussain

What good is cheap electricity if someone else can switch it off? That question cost us a lot to learn. Paraguay. Ethiopia. Cheap power on paper. In reality, the switch was always in someone else’s hands. So we stopped renting energy and started owning it. I sat down again with @MrTimothyAllen on the Free Cities Podcast, three years after our first conversation in San Salvador. We didn’t do the polished version. We talked about: ⚡ What actually happened to our mining operations in Paraguay and Ethiopia 🛢️ Why AmityAge is moving into gas wells and power generation in Alberta 🤖 Bitcoin mining vs. AI data centres, and why the hype cycle is a risk, not a strategy 🚩 Why “I know the right people” is a red flag in this industry 🎓 Training Bitcoin educators from India to the Muslim world 🏝️ Próspera: what works, what doesn’t, and why a city needs families, not just digital nomads Also: a basketball court, a Bitcoin logo, and local politics on Roatán. The lesson from all of it: in Bitcoin mining, energy sovereignty is everything. Same goes for building a free city. If you don’t control the fundamentals, you don’t control your future. Keep building. 🧡 🎧 Full episode: piped.video/watch?v=988e4wZQ… #Bitcoin #BitcoinMining #Energy #Alberta #Prospera #FreeCities #AmityAge

You can spend 5 years, working harder than anyone else, writing the best book in the world, but if nobody knows about it, then you will not be a successful author. This is the downfall of most creatives. They hate marketing, but marketing is 80% of their success.
