Key lifestyle & life lessons (for his future children)

  • Get out of your comfort zone early

    • Leave your hometown/village as soon as possible.
    • Moving out early, doing a gap year, or even going abroad (e.g., Tokyo at 16) forces rapid growth.
    • Traveling helps you adapt fast (new transport, education systems, languages) and teaches you how to finance/explain your choices.

  • Ask better questions

    • Conversation quality improves more from asking good questions than from having clever answers.
    • Meet people from different backgrounds and learn by curiosity.

  • Live with flexibility about your future

    • Don’t focus on “what you want to do for your whole life.”
    • Ask instead: “What do I want to do next?”
    • Many decisions are reversible—before deciding, categorize:
      • Irreversible examples: having children (very far-reaching consequences).
      • Reversible examples: moving (e.g., Tokyo—can change your mind after time).

  • Identity beats effort (mindset + self-belief)

    • Hard work matters, but what matters more is what’s going on between your ears.
    • If you label yourself a “loser,” you’ll likely lose; if you truly believe and “see success” in advance, you improve outcomes.
    • Success is framed as something you can manifest step-by-step in your mind before it appears in reality.

  • Update your identity in sprints

    • Adopt the identity of the person who already achieves your goal (e.g., someone earning €10,000/month, someone who has a six-pack).
    • Model their behaviors:
      • routines/rituals, books, podcasts
      • lead generation, sales, fulfillment
      • tools they use (incl. AI tools)
    • Align your self-image with daily actions; repeat often.
    • He describes creating a new identity every six months to achieve faster progress than he expects most people can.

  • Relationships are the biggest investment

    • The most important investments aren’t only money (real estate/Bitcoin) but people decisions:
      • right partner, family time, strong friendships, good business partners
      • classmates/fellow students who support you
    • Quality of relationships determines quality of life.
    • Especially crucial: having people who believe in you when you doubt yourself.

  • Treat people the way you want to be treated

    • In every interaction, ask: “Did I treat them how I’d want to be treated?”
    • Examples include:
      • being supportive of people in the moment (e.g., cheering/gesture with strangers)
      • being friendly to service workers; tipping kindly
      • helping your partner emotionally/logistically during stressful times
    • Story example: when his girlfriend was in the hospital, he tried to lighten the mood, play pretend/engage her, and arranged a double room so she could feel cared for.

  • Stop living for other people’s opinions

    • Fear often comes from “what will other people say?”
    • Advice: “Screw people”—nobody truly cares the way you think.
    • He suggests a coping “task”:
      • Write down the names of people who mocked you (e.g., for starting a business or posting online).
      • Keep the list and reread it when you feel like quitting.
      • The idea: those doubters likely can’t build success themselves, so you “turn” them into motivation.
