Freedom Maker

Episode 9: There are no whiny people in my life

Listen Later

I’m going to give you 3 quotes. If you’ve heard of them, this episode is for you. If you haven’t, you need this episode even more than those who have.

  1. “Your network is your net worth”,
  2. “you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with” and
  3. “show me your friends and I’ll show you your future”

    4. Whiny is interpreted as negative.

    A circle of people that supports you not only makes the path to freedom enjoyable, it makes it more possible. How did I find out? I learnt it the hard way.

    • Both parents work a day job, worst idea to emulate.
    • Musicians have different priorities (episode 7). Mastery of their craft > freedom in the physical real world
    • Dated a violinist. Remained arrogant and small-minded.
    • After breakup, went to China for business courses
    • Dated Penang girl, different SES
    • Befriended her friends, changed brains, met my business partner, Ecom Machine was born.

      • The strategy here, is to become the person who is on the path to freedom, and is in the company of those who are on the same path.

      The tactics are in 3 steps: work on the self, let go of people not on the path, and join those on the path.

      Work on self:

      1. Dedicate the end of the day, before you sleep to this journalling exercise. Write down everything you want to have, everything you can become, and more. This can take 30 mins, can go longer than an hour.
      2. Journal everyday. Reflect on what you have done, plan to do, and what you have (gratitude).
      3. Get a calendar that has boxes for every day of the week. When you’re done journalling, strike out the box associated with that day (today is day 97). If you want a copy of the calendar, email me with the subject line Episode 9 to [email protected]

        4. Letting go:

        1. Subconscious, time-wasters: easiest thing to do. Don’t hit them up again.
        2. Conscious, potential, close friends: test waters. You may have to make a tough decision. They can watch the ride but they can’t join you.
        3. Conscious, already there: keep and engage when possible.

          4. Joining:

          1. Listening to podcasts like these.
          2. Reach out. Facebook groups.
          3. Networking events.
