0 How to be successful (Detail practical method From Naval Ravikant)

5.6.2021 I hope I knew this 20 years ago because it involves long term strategy. I used to thought the key of success were hard work and discipine. It turns out that they are not the most important factors to be successful. There are 3 things to do to be successful: 1. Decide the goal (What are you working on?) The goal must be important and meaningful. If you work hard for something meaningless or unimportant or even for other people, no matter how hard you work, you won't be successful. For example, I am a teacher who work hard everyday. I teach in a school. I work for a company or institution. So my income will be limited by their standard. But if I work for myself such as creating a youtube channel or online learning program, my income will be unlimited. 2. Decide the partners (Who are you working with?) Choose the best people in the field and work to be nomber one, the be the best. No matter how high your bar, raise your bar. You aim at the best and work with the best people in the field. That is the fastest way to be successful. People is the 2nd most important factors to be successful after the goal. For example the best student can read one book everyday while the worst student can't even finish one book in a year. The winner mindset is very important. Choose people who have the right attitude and mindset. 3. Work as hard as you can The third factor is work itself. Be impatient with the work but be patient with the result. Work as hard as you can. Focus only to the work, not the result. It will be long term game. You will see the result later after 5 or 10 years. Just work and work and work to the right cause with the right team. You will fail everyday and get better over time. Because you work very hard consistently for long time with right team, you will definitely be successful. So many people do not understant what it takes to be successful. These tips from Naval Ravikant are very practical and to the points. Now I'm working on shaping my body. I know I won't see the result in 5 years or more, but with this steps that the aim is to win long term game, nothing can stop me anymore. In the past if I failed to see the result in several weeks, I just gave up. So the key to be successful are: clear goal, right mindset person/team, works hard for long time. Most people have unrealistic expectation that they will be successful soon. That's the killer of working hard because then they will stop and give up. Instead of working for their own goal, they work for others and get monthly paycheck. They will never be suffeccful that way.
