Since I’ve just celebrated my 38th birthday recently, I’m sharing my top 38 lessons in no particular order:
1. The biggest expense is the money you are not making.
2. Loose lips sinks ships.
3. Your vibes attract your tribe.
4. When someone is concerned, they have a lot of questions. When someone is hiding something, they have a lot of answers.

6. If you can’t buy it twice, you can’t afford it.
7. A mentorship moment starts with an open mind and a closed mouth.
8. You can’t climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pocket.
9. The cleanest water has no fish. The cheapest person has no shame.
10. Show, not tell.
11. The world is changed by example, not opinion.
12. It’s only a riddle if you don’t know the answer.
13. A Tiger rarely shows its claws. A cat shows them all the time.
14. An amateur studies tactics. An expert studies logistics.
15. Revenue is vanity. Profit is sanity. Cash flow is reality.
16. Victory has a thousand fathers. Defeat is an orphan.
17. Great marketing cannot substitute sh*t product.
18. Truth does not mind being questioned. Lie does not like being challenged.
19. The heaviest thing in the world is not iron or gold, but an unmade decision.
20. It takes a ton of education to change an ounce of perception.
21. Good steel do not become nails.
22. You can make mistakes and still win. You can not make mistakes and still lose.
23. Without hard work, a great strategy remains a dream. Without a great strategy, hard work becomes a nightmare.
24. Pride comes before fall. But self doubt comes before victory.
25. Make your own economy.
26. Your energy introduces you before you even speak.
27. The ones who say yes and maybe will find more opportunities than those who say no.
28. Market speaks loudest.
29. Those who pay, pay attention. Those who don’t, won’t.
30. No money no talk. No talk no money.
31. A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.
32. The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan and execution.
33. General skill makes general income. Specific skill makes specific income.
34. Creating a product for an existing audience is easier than trying to create an audience for a product.
35. What comes easy, wont last long. What isn’t easy, will last long.
36. Don’t speak unless you can improve the silence. Otherwise, silence is golden.
37. Don’t be clever. Be clear.
38. A hopeless man sees difficulty in every chance. A hopeful man sees chance in every difficulty.
