Average is Dead: The Great Restructuring
Don’t get left in the dust
2024…
Gone are the days of buying a beautiful 3/2 in suburbia with your high school sweetheart.
The digital age has transformed our lives, far beyond what we can physically see on our screens.
You see…
You cannot afford to be average anymore.
Why?
In a nutshell —
You’re not just competing with Joey from the block anymore.
Tony from Timbuktu wants the same fruits as you.
And 1000s of other people are right behind him.
You can thank the internet.
Here’s the twist…
This is actually great news for us.
Yes, being “average” will probably lead to a below average lifestyle.
But use self-improvement to master yourself?
The rewards are unfathomable.
How?
These three pillars…
# 1 | TEN TO TEN
The most powerful boon of the great restructuring?
Rewards are no longer proportional to input.
In other words…
Leverage is officially infinite.
That is, if you’re doing it right.
Consider this:
What do content creation, dating apps, and social media have in common?
Unlimited opportunity.
If you want something — treat your mission like a full time job.
Attractive qualifications earn a six figure spread right?
This is no different.
Honesty, it’s much easier than it sounds.
Identify the MOST effective actions that accomplish your goal —
Then commit to them.
Reading clickbait and fighting in the comment wars don’t change your bottom line.
Stay focused.
# 2 | NO FEAR
“Nobody gives you a chance, you gotta take chances” — Lil Wayne
Just make the moves.
There is no room for inaction in a fast-paced world.
Period.
I could sit here all day writing a Rock level fitness plan…
But if I never step foot in the gym —
What’s the point?
Plan less, act more.
That’s the motto.
Adjust course on the way, but don’t keep Destiny waiting…
# 3 | GAME THEORY
To become a competitive player —
Understand the long-term nature of the game.
Overnight success is a Hollywood thing.
What do you need?
It all comes back to the RIGHT habits and ruthless focus.
Consider your goal:
Do you want riches, fitness, or love?
Once you understand your mission…
Repeat high-yielding actions over a significant timeframe.
You’ll get what you want.
Now…
I know — most of us want all 3 before we hit the senior home.
Here’s what I found:
Cal Newport in “Deep Work” describes 3 types of people who are successful in our new age:
- Creatives
- Top performers
- Rich bros (paraphrasing)
If you want the initial boost and weren’t born in 90210, choose the creative path.
Why?
By being different, you separate yourself from the competition.
The other two come in time, and continue the train of rewards.
