3. HOW FOUNDERS CAN
HAVE A MEANINGFUL &
HIGH ACHIEVERS LIFE
Have you ever stopped to think how do the great
ones like Ratan Tata, Liu Chuanzhi (Lenovo
Founder), Gisele Bundchen, Zica Assis, Will Smith,
Tom Brady, Rihanna, Marilyn Monroe,and many
athlete, actors, producers, musicians, business
people, continue to excel?
And yet the rest of the world’s population come
across like insignificant ants. It could be the genes,
the environment, the fear of failure? Maybe it is
simply they liked been winners?

4. Always Be
Planting Good
Seeds.
Your life and many other peoples’
lives is like a roller-coaster without
ever knowing the design of the
structure but fortunately we have
some influence over it. . . the climbs
or the banks and in some way the
outcome. Many of us achieve that
by deliberately planting the right
seeds which bare fruits. The seeds
we plant for example could be to be
a more tolerant human being,
helping the less fortunate,etc.

Decide What You
Want Out Of Life.
☼
This is the typical routine for most
people on this planet - - -go to work,
then come home, then eat dinner,
then go to sleep, and then wake up.
In my opinion if you haven’t set out
to live for something higher you are
going to find your life-soul empty
and frustrating. Being a founder of
significant endeavor is going to
sometimes feel like being buried
alive in the desert so you better
know what you really want from life.
☼

5. Selfishness Is Not
A Way To Live.
No matter how you try to just focus
on satisfying just your own needs
and wants, the more miserable you
become at least based on my
observation. Why do you think rich
people are constantly getting
involve with charities apart for the
tax incentive?
SPONSOR: BJ MANNYST
Listen With Both
Sides of Your
Brain.
☼
Listening is an activity that
practically everyone can do but not
everyone does it well or wants to do
it well. Listening is not listening for
the words. It is listening for tone,
body language, etc I would also
recommend reading up on
emotional intelligence if you aspire
to be a great leader.
☼

6. Specify What You
Want.
If you don’t specify and act on what
you want from life. Life will give you
anything. I write down the top five
things that will make the greatest
impact in my life. And I make sure
everyday I keep working on it and
achieving. Then ask yourself how
badly do you want it and what price
are you willing to pay? Walt Disney
wanted Disneyland to be real so
badly that he was willing to scrap an
earlier version.
SPONSOR: BJ MANNYST
Never Stop
Working On You.
☼
The thing about life is that things
continue to change and things
continue to stay the same so in
order to always be benefiting from
the changes you need to keep
building the best you---you can be.
For example pickup or read up on
books on how to be a good parent,
learn how to code, take public
speaking lessons, teach yourself, etc.
What I personally do is watch a lot
of biographic videos of great people
and bad people, high achievers and
low achievers, etc. Just to learn.
☼

7. Write A Great
Biography.
If you haven't realized that life is like
a book and that you and only you
can decide the plot and ending,
then it might be time to awake from
your sleep. Question, when you
read a great biographic story or bio-
pic don’t you want the same
significant story? Don’t you want to
share with the world how you faced
the odds and became a multi-
millionaire.
SPONSOR: BJ MANNYST
Happiness &
Success Is A
Choice.
☼
It really starts with a choice. If you
never make the choice you will
likely keep watching others achieve
what they want from life.☼

9. Always Give
Thanks For
Everything.
What are you thankful for?
Somewhere in another part of the
world is someone fighting just for a
meal for a day. So if you have access
to affordable food, roof over your
head, good health, freedom, etc
give thanks everyday and try not to
complain.
SPONSOR: BJ MANNYST
Tell Them You
Love & Appreciate
Them.
☼
Those two key feelings are likely the
most desired by almost every
human in the world. But the thing
about both though is that it’s not
tell them. It’s show them your love
and appreciation.
☼

10. Initially Win
Something.
One thing I realize is that successful
people keep being successful
because they have learned how to
win and have built their confidence.
Plus they stand in-between realistic
goals while standing in stretch goals.
So what I’m really saying, If your
goals are hurting your overall well-
being you might want to make
adjustment. Is climbing mount
Everest worth it if all you want to do
is lose a few pounds?
SPONSOR: BJ MANNYST
Start Something
For A Good
Reason.
☼
If you are starting a business simply
to make money, you are likely going
to be in it for a short time and
performing mediocrity. When
building something to last you
better have a higher reason for
doing it. You better get some form
of support from someone or
something.
☼

11. Get Out Of Your
Skin Responsibly.
One thing I have realized about
people is their desire to be
someone else. For example a clean
shaved insurance agent occasionally
wants to unleash the rabble side
and let his beard grow like Santa
clause’s beard. The good girl
sometimes wants to play the bad
girl. Being absolutely good ,
comfortable and doing the right
thing for 365 days of the years is
unhealthy.
SPONSOR: BJ MANNYST
Your Habits Will
Make or Break
You.
☼
Really it will. If you like spending
hundreds of dollars to wine & dine
your wife or mistress or friends
every weekend chances you are a
smart billionaire or have too much
money and little math sense. My
point is, habits are the cause of
wealth, poverty, joy, misery, stress,
good relationships, bad
relationships, good health, or
sickness,etc. So decide which habits
are worth keeping.
☼

12. Invest.
I don’t know a lot of rich people
who worked for other people,
collected a 9 - 5 salary, and
eventually end up a millionaire. A
lot of time millionaires are business
owners owing income producing
appreciable asset. One, pay for
quality inexpensive self-
improvement classes online or
offline or buy some inspirational
books. Basically invest in things that
will appreciate yours or your
families value.
SPONSOR: BJ MANNYST
Eagles Hangout
With Eagles.
☼
It’s not like the famous, wealthy, are
simply hanging out with people
exactly identical to themselves. The
Eagles of the world are hanging out
with the best people in different
fields. So if you really want to
breakout from mediocrity you will
have to find ways to increase the
number of winners influencers.
☼

13. Be Straight With
Yourself & Others.
Sometimes you’ve got to sit yourself
down and tell yourself you need to
stop doing one thing and start
something else. Be straight with
others as well. Basically what I’m
saying is face reality while dreaming,
and acting on a better future.
SPONSOR: BJ MANNYST
Network, Quality
Network,Help
Others.
☼
Being a founder that networks is
not about meeting someone and
then immediately adding them to
your LinkedIn connection. It’s taking
the time to connect on a personal
level. The 500+ numbers are useless
if those LinkedIn connections ignore
your LinkedIn messages. And
remember, help others get what
they want and you will likely get
what you want.
☼

14. Be Creating Value
Not Just
Consuming.
It is always much easier to consume
other people’s creation however I
think creating a significant value is
way thrilling.If you keep creating
value for your customers/clients you
will keep generating cash,
opportunities, wealth and attracting
success. Simply working 9 - 5 for a
salary and then spending for only
consumption is fucking slavery.
SPONSOR: BJ MANNYST
Your Shit Does
Stink Sometimes.
☼
Don’t always think you are always
right or that your ideas are Gods gift
to mankind.keep learning and
unlearning. Keep reading. Keep
engaging.Keep creating.Avoid being
ignorant, arrogant and complacent.
☼

15. Adopt Universal
Values.
Humanity is gradually breaking
away from their traditional tribalism
institutions like religion, nationality,
cultural values because we are
becoming a global village. More and
more businesses are operating on a
global stage so only indirectly or
directly forcing people to adopt
universal values. Plus there’s a lot
more diversity.
SPONSOR: BJ MANNYST
There Will be
Dark Moments.
☼
I don’t know any successful person
whose path was paved with gold
from start to end. Any constructive
dream worth fighting for will
demand and test you in many ways.
And it will be up to you to pivot,
give-up, or start-over. Think of Elon
Musk’s effort to get Space X going.
☼

16. Become A Better
Story Teller.
Everyone of all ages is still addicted
to stories. A good story is like candy
for the brain. If you can share good
stories in your presentation, pitches,
blog, youtube video however do it
well or don’t do it at all.
SPONSOR: BJ MANNYST
When Something
Is Not Working,
Check Persistence.
☼
Persistence is great. Persistence in
the wrong situation is just asking to
be disappointed. Honestly you can
work harder than a billion person
and still not even scratch the
millionaire mark in four life times.
When a seed you planted a year ago
is still not sprouting you can keep
watering it, replant it , or you can
check if you used the right seed or
maybe worst you planted it in the
wrong environment. What I’m
saying is that super-achievers never
give up the key objective however
willing to try different paths.

18. Be Straight With
Yourself & Others.
Testing & Prototyping. Nothing
sucks more than spending hours
and months on developing a fitness
app only to find out no one wants it.
In a globalized world, you just can’t
afford not to test the validity of your
concept.
SPONSOR: BJ MANNYST
Your Thoughts &
Emotions, Your
Responsibility.
☼
This is also likely to apply to mental
health management. Your founder /
entrepreneur journey should be a
pleasure not a heartache. So walk
away from it occasionally and take
up other interest like dancing.
☼

19. Managing
Feelings.
Your feelings are yours.And if
someone tells you to not feel this
way or that, then you have to pause.
Because at the end of the day what
you feel each hour of the day and
night is a choice. You can choose to
be miserable or hopeful. You can
feel joyful,powerful, successful,etc.
SPONSOR: BJ MANNYST
Be Aware of The
Haters.
☼
As you continue to succeed in life,
there will be some that will hate
you because of your success. And
some will do anything to shit on
your parade just because they hate
to see you happy. Better develop a
thick skin and means for shutting
them out of your life. Most cases
they have issues.
☼

20. A Time For
Patience & Time
For Initiative.
This is something I don’t think can
be taught. Your instinct and brain
need to figure out whether it’s best
to just patiently wait or crank up the
urgency. It’s almost like a
Quarterback in the NFL. Some
things you will have to figure out in
real time.
SPONSOR: BJ MANNYST
Put Founder(s)
Reputation On
the Line.
☼
A founder(s) that can’t put their
voice, character, name, presence on
the line of failure or success or
humiliation should not be a Founder
of anything. Sometimes the best
way to gain traction and success for
your startup is to make yourself
visible to your target and potential
employees and investors. Become
an expert through your website,
blog, articles,…share testimonials,
any credible references, ways
people are able reach you, etc
☼

21. Communicate
Directly &
Indirectly.
Extending the previous point, I
would add communicating well
directly and indirectly. If you can
share good content, podcast,
video,images, that conveys to
people a little of your personality,
your team, expertise,your pain or a
pain your customer has, etc
SPONSOR: BJ MANNYST
Organize An Event,
Volunteer or
Attend Events.
☼
One of the fastest way to start
building momentum for more and
more achievement is to attend
events.At the end of the day people
buy from people.Or consider
teaching at an event. Or join a
mastermind group.
☼

22. Avoid Comparing
Your Life And
Being Envious.
No two lives journeys are ever the
exact same so you have to avoid
comparing a founders success to
your level of success. Her success is
hers. And your triumph over
adversity is yours and not someone
else.
SPONSOR: BJ MANNYST
Conquer Your
Fears.
☼
Fear can be a prison or can be
leveraged for personal growth. The
creation of fear in our minds is
really depending on how one is
shaping things in their minds. You
must learn to move forward in the
face of it.
☼

23. Past Reflected On.
You past is your past. And pretty
much all you can do is not dwell on
it, repeat mistakes, or worry too
much about it. Life goes on with or
without you.
SPONSOR: BJ MANNYST
Quick Riches Are
Fantasies.
☼
Whenever any investor, co-founder,
or other person promises you quick
riches that’s the time to hang on
tight to your money.- - -the fact of
life is that they are no quick ways to
richness or millionaire status. It’s
daily grind or get out of the way.
☼

24. Free Speech Is
Not Free.
Technically you can rant about
anything in this world, in some parts,
and live to see your likes grow on
facebook. However the fact remains
as a founder and likely
representative of a diverse work
force it is best to think before you
open your personal mouth or your
business mouth.
