Many people dismissed Matt Gray as a hipster because he owns a weed company.
They're f*cking morons.
Matt's unique because he found a way to fuse entrepreneurship, productivity, tech & mindfulness together in a new way.
Here are his best ideas:

1. "The most addictive drug is momentum"
If you never take action consistently you won't get momentum.
Without it you'll give up as soon as a curveball hits your life.
Build daily habits & don't interrupt them.
Habits = Compound Growth

2. "If you want freedom, build systems."
Habits alone are stupid.
You must have systems to automate those habits.
Create a life operating system with:
• A clean content diet (avoid clickbait)
• Zapier automations for all your software
• A Notion database with Loom how-to videos
• A virtual assistant daily checklist

3. "Don't build a business, build a movement.
"Create something that people want to be a part of."
The world doesn't need another boring business.
A movement driven by a community of obsessed people equals unlimited power.
It unlocks leverage.

4. "Hard pill to swallow: You'll never taste freedom if you only have one income stream."
That's why a salary will make you broke.
• Inflation lowers your salary
• Pay rises are smaller than a bee's d*ck
• Governments print money as an invisible tax
Stack multiple income streams or die trying.

5. "99% of people are okay with being mediocre.
1% of people are okay with being called crazy. Crazy is good."
Obsessed people are crazy.
Average people say "that's hustle culture."
If you fit in, you're replaceable. Ignore the sheep & do something crazy with your life.

6. "You feel terrible because you keep procrastinating."
Just do it.
No one cares if you fail. Rejection is free motivation. Most decisions are reversible, too
Start with the smallest action. 1% better each day

7. "Fall in love with the boring tasks. Success isn't always sexy."
Quit the dopamine addiction.
You'll be rewarded when you make progress. But it takes twice as long as you think.
Play the long game. Fall in love with boring so you can soak in the freedom.

8. "Failure is proof that you are growing. Fail forward."
Yet 99% of people avoid failure.
They're afraid to be judged. They think a loser in the comments can ruin their life. Sad.
Take a risk or you'll be doing the same boring sh*t for the rest of your life.

9. "Set a bar so high most people think you're crazy."
Raise your standards.
• Delete loser friends
• Give up on luck & hope
• Stop asking for free stuff
• Stop using lottery thinking
• Burn the idea of coupons/discounts
This is how you become wealthy.

10. "Stop reading 100 books. Focus on taking action."
No one gives a cr*p how many books you read.
Most reading is just mental m*sturbation..
Read books attached to your goal. Implement what you read as you consume the book.

11. "Go and get it. Get the f*cking money.
Your freedom, family, and future depend on it."
Money isn't evil. Ignore the wokes.
Create generational wealth.
Make your online content your legacy.
Make what you do online a form of automated passive income.
