1. "Don’t major in minor things."
A cubicle job is a minor thing. Yet that's what a lot of people do until 65, then they retire and die.
What a waste.
Choose paths where you get to major in major things that make you extraordinary.
Mediocrity is f*cking boring.

2. "Learn how to work harder on yourself than you do on your job."
Tony was a janitor and hated it. After hours he worked hard on himself.
Most people are stuck because they have no time, thanks to their job.
Obsess over your side hustle if you want to be free.

3. “We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.
90% people are drowning in regrets.
Tony didn't want to be a dreamer forever. So he did more sales presentations than anyone.
Then he used these sales skills to sell his own seminars.

4. “Don't wish it were easier, wish you were better"
Easy games are bullsh*t
Tony learned fulfilment and purpose come from playing hard games
His abusive father shaped him to be resilient. The relentlessness turned into coaching presidents
Choose a hard game to be successful.

5. “Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune.”
Tony chose to master psychology & NLP.
Without a psychology degree, he makes more than any psychologist.
He did this by buying books/seminars, then instantly applying the information.

6. “If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse.”
People have dreams, but they put them off.
Tony relentlessly pursued his dreams. He dared to think big and believe he could be bigger than Jim Rohn.
There are no limitations.

7. “It isn’t what the book costs. It’s what it will cost you if you don’t read it.”
It's easy to see everything as an expense.
But if you don't spend money to figure out what you don't know, the tax on that stupidity is enormous.
If it makes you an ROI it's an investment.

8. “Successful people have libraries. The rest have big screen TVs”
Tony became an avid reader. Then he became an author.
Ideas are how he built his brand to attract customers.
Steal ideas from books. Synthesise them to make them your own.

9. “If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.”
Tony took big risks.
In the 90s he got cheated by his business partner. He's lost lots of money several times
Ordinary people take zero risks. What they get back are huge regrets.

10. “You don’t get paid for the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to the hour”
9-5 psychology makes you broke
Tony charges $1m an hour for coaching
He can do it cause he's obsessed & succeeded at his craft
Now he does live events
Once you nail a skill go one-to-many

11. “Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value”
Average people operate at snail's pace
Tony had urgency in his 20s and 30s. He focused on his network & business
As his wealth increased he had more money to create leverage and work less if he chose
Leverage = Freedom
