And let it be backed up by solid evidence 🔥🤝
The ROI for believing in yourself is extremely high.

Major cheat code for life: Assume good things are still ahead. You are not behind. You are not too late. You are not disqualified by your past. One new season can change the entire story. Keep showing up with belief. The best chapters are often written after the hardest ones.

Getting wealthier will actually radicalize you against all the nonsensical behavior that you used to tolerate just because you had no other choice.

It took me 29 years to realize that the cheat code to life is just having delusional confidence.

The original sin of the African venture ecosystem is that we operate as if commercial and impact timelines are one and the same.

A man who knows he’s going to win doesn’t worry about when. He just keeps showing up because he knows his time will come.

We are taught to admire wealth before we are taught to examine how wealth is accumulated.

A man cannot make more money than his level of information. The more you know, the more you earn.

African startups don’t get funded for potential; they get funded for proof, and proof takes time. So the name of the game is simple: stay alive long enough to show the numbers.

Neuroplasticity works faster under high emotional intensity. If you can resist a craving when it's at its peak, you get a bigger rewiring effect. This is why the hardest moments matter most, they're not setbacks, they're high-voltage opportunities to change.

One of the greatest privileges of wealth is the ability to ensure that the people you care about never have to face certain problems alone.

The biggest news stories that are going to impact our lives over the next 50 years, the biggest ones are unknowable. It's the equivalent of the COVID that nobody can easily predict and we fathom it in our realities…

Charlie Munger on the secret to life. “I just stay away from the problems that can’t be fixed and pick the ones that can." "I don’t like unlimited failure. I don’t want to fish forever and never catch a fish. I have to have some reinforcement. And so I pick some things that can be done and do them." "But I do think that if you’re reasonably obsessed with something, even if it’s intermittent, and you have a long attention span, you keep working over the serious problems, that you’ll stumble into an answer. That’s half the secret of life.” — Charlie Munger
I’m excited to share this previously unreleased 2022 conversation between Charlie Munger and Todd Combs. As with any Munger talk, the subjects are both deep and wide. I’ve pulled out the ideas that most resonated with me and published a full transcript. A special thank you to the Singleton Foundation, Todd Combs, and William Thorndike for giving me the permission to share this with you.

A wise mentor once told me: "Before you play the game, study the winners. Before you build a company, study the founders who came before you. Before you write a book, study the authors you admire. Originality comes after apprenticeship, not before it."

Why banks don't fund ideas or entrepreneurs without assets... With traditional banks, as an entrepreneur, your employee can easily get a loan faster than you... This is why🔽
WHY BANKS DO NOT FUND IDEAS Banks are not in the business for funding entrepreneurs with ideas and that is why entrepreneurs get frustrated by banks. Banks fund cashflows against assets. Here is how it works. THREAD

Walking for 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week, will do more for your health than anything else.

Underrated life advice: Keep proof that good things happen to you. Old photos. Kind messages. Positive feedback. Notes from great days. Whatever. Store them in a single place. Call it a Rainy Day Folder. Pop it open on a bad day and watch your mood turn. It's a free reset button.
