DELIBERATE PRACTICE NOT just 10k hours of practice. DELIBERATE practice. EX: Drumming - vs. practicing rudiments / playing with a metronome EX: GYM. MOST results come from exercises you…. DON’T WANT TO DO (pull ups / deadlifts / leg day) (6:45) 3. NOT HOW GOOD YOU ARE - HOW GOOD YOU WANT TO BE Talent is OVERRATED. BILL gates - spent 1,500 hours in first 7 months learning code. Next 7 years 7 days a week put into coding. “DARK YEARS” - said never took a day off for 10 whole years. No one filmed sexy cubicle with glasses 10 years from 9-9.

Austin Kleon on “Steal Like An Artist” | 10 Best Ideas Book Summary

11 Questions That May Change Your Life: http://www.clarkdanger.com/download/ Let's talk about stealing shit. Why did The Beatles started as a cover band? Can you write a bestselling book with just 50 words? Why is “art” really “theft”? And good artists copy, but great artists really steal? These are 10 things no one told you about being creative. Steal Like An Artist is a great book by Austin Kleon. This book summary and book review of Steal Like An Artist will go over the BEST 10 IDEAS from Austin Kleon's book. You might also consider getting the full book or audiobook for this – it’s killer! Here are the best 10 ideas from “Steal Like An Artist” by Austin Kleon GET THE BOOK: http://amzn.to/2bBXdbt MASTER JOURNALING: http://www.mybestjournal.com ★★★ BIG 10 IDEAS ★★★ (1:40) 1. NOTHING IS ORIGINAL Start viewing art as objective not subjective. There’s not “good ideas” or “bad ideas” - only ideas worth stealing & ideas not worth stealing. We can embrace influence, not run from it. When people call something original, nine out of ten times they just don’t remember where influences came from. (3:00) 2. EVERYTHING IS A REMIX We are all remix. Mother + Father = You. 1 + 1 = 3. Process of evolution. We are the average of the top five people we hang around most. We are also the sum of our role models and influences. Create your own "Influence Family Tree". (5:45) 3. DON’T WAIT - START BEFORE YOU’RE READY It is not that we must “know who we are” before we create, it is in the process that we find who we are. Life isn’t about “Finding ourselves” life is about CREATING OURSELVES (7:45) 4. IMPOSTER SYNDROME Shift in identity is hard - might feel as if not there yet. Can’t view it that way. Imitation is how we learn. Musicians = scales. Painters = reproduce masterpieces. Kids = alphabet. Drums = cover songs. Remember: even The Beatles started as cover band. Paul McCartney said the only reason The Beatles wrote their own songs was so other bands couldn’t copy set! GET THE BOOK: http://amzn.to/2bBXdbt (9:20) 5. STEAL, DON’T PLAGERIZE Plagiarism: to try to pass someone else work as own. Plagiarism is self defeating. When you plagiarize something you deny your own creativity. Like a mechanic takes apart car to see how works. We reverse engineer ideas. WILSON MIZNER: “if you copy from one author it’s plagiarism, but if you copy from many, it’s research.” (11:00) 6. GO DEEPER Don’t just copy style, copy thinking behind style. Conan O’Brien says all comedians start by emulating heroes, fall short, then find own style. Kobe Bryant says there isn’t a move that’s a new move. Watched tapes of heroes and tried to copy. Then realized didn't have same body type to pull off - became “original”. (11:40) 7. WRITE THE BOOK YOU WANT TO READ Scratch your own itch - EX: male cosmetics / hair products. Couldn’t find any made from scratch / good ingredients that didn’t kill my soul using. Salon style / etc. Start business you want to run. Play music you want to hear. Build products you want to use. (13:40) 8. LIFESPAN OF A PROJECT See also: THE DIP - WAR OF ART - RESISTANCE - BURN OUT (16:30) 9. WRITE IT DOWN Importance of keeping a journal. Write it today: http://www.mybestjournal.com (17:40) 10. SIMPLIFY No more than 3 points videos. Apple = obsessed with clean and simple. iPhone only have ONE button! Streamlined. Dr. Sues wrote “The Cat in The Hat” with only 236 words! Then editor dared him with 50 words = Green Eggs and Ham. One of bestselling children's books of all time. Creativity is subtraction.

What do the rich teach their kids about money? Today’s book summary and book review: Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. This book is one of the most successful finance books out there.

You might also consider getting the full book or audiobook for this – it’s killer! Here are the best 10 ideas from “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert T. Kiyosaki FULL BLOG POST: (coming soon) GET THE BOOK: http://amzn.to/2ap2EPd BIG 10 IDEAS (2:30) 1. MODELS FOR WEALTH The book focuses mostly on the education and financial learned from his rich dad. We all have models for wealth. Money / Beliefs are LEARNED growing up - most the time not consciously. Become conscious of our beliefs / models in order to change them. (4:20) 2. YOU’RE BROKE, NOT POOR “Being broke is temporary - being poor is eternal” -RK Even if you don't have money now, view yourself as broke, NOT poor. (5:20) 3. FINICAL FREEDOM “The poor and middle class work for money. The rich have money work for them.” We have two options in life: 1. Work hard, pay taxes, save what little is left over, then get taxed on the savings (sounds fun). 2. Invest in our financial IQ and use it to create assets that allow us to achieve finical freedom. The rich ALL take option 02. The rich don’t work for money. (7:50) 4. FINICAL IQ Schools teach how to work in a job. Not how to get rich. EX: You get more money - spend it all. Money is a “X” multiplier for whatever going in your head already. Athletes who get GIANT contracts (no finical IQ) now bankrupt. EX: Lap band surgery for fat person - don’t change mindset / habits = gain ALL back. Solution? NEED to increase our Finical IQ Finical IQ composed: ACCOUNTING:understand financial statements. INVESTING: The science of money making money. UNDERSTANDING MARKETS: supply and demand; technical (emotion-driven) and fundamental (economic sense) investments LAW: Understanding taxes / avoiding lawsuits. (11:10) 5. E.B.S.I. EBSI: Employee / Business Owner / Self Employed / Investor Four possible paths for us (can be a mix of all.) (12:40) 6. ASSETS "Know what an asset is, acquire them and become rich.” BIG IDEA: For most people, their profession is their income. For rich people, their assets are their income. ASSETS ARE: Businesses, Stocks, Bonds, Mutual funds, Income-generating real estate, Royalties, Anything which appreciates in value over time (15:00) 7. LIABILITIES and a liability, something which takes money out of your pocket. Keep your expenses low and reduce your liabilities. Learn to live off of 75% of your paycheck. Favorite advice: “Grow your income not your lifestyle.” (16:10) 8. POWER OF COMPOUNDING VIDEO SOURECE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=immQX... Why the 1% get richer. Look into the power of compounding. Einstein: Compounding is the 8th wonder of world (16:50) 9. PAY YOURSELF FIRST Pay yourself first. Before you pay your bills each month. Save 10%. MY TIP: If there's ice cream in freezer, it WILL get eaten. Separate bank account for this 10% money. Automatic withdrawal from paycheck. (19:00) 10. GETTING STARTED: TEN ACTION STEPS Be VERY clear here: NOT giving personal finical advice - not qualified for that. telling you what I am doing / what is recommended in this book. 1. Learn about investing before you invest. 2. Every dollar is plus one or minus one. 3. Learn to live on 75% of your paycheck. 4. Pay yourself first. 5. Choose friends careful. Who you hang around avg of top 5. 6. Always ask “How fast do I get my money back?” 7. MINT.COM 8. CHARLES SCHWAB INDEX 9. MONEY MASTER THE GAME (read this book) 10.

Learn more here: http://www.mybestjournal.com ★★★ BIG 10 IDEAS ★★★ (2:15) EMOTIONAL LOVE TANK Metaphor like our car has a gas tank, our love life has a love tank. keep this tank full. If we neglect our love tank, we’ll start to get bigger problems. we need love… stats show we’re not too good at it: 40% of marriages in USA divorce 60% of second 75% of third What’s happening? Where do we go wrong? (3:45) DON’T BE IN LOVE Falling in love is the opposite of what we should strive for. That honeymoon style / chick flick / notebook rain make out scene. Dr. M Scott Peck: falling in love is NOT love for three reasons: 1. Not act of will or conscious choice (fall in love with people not compatible with) 2. Effortless. Real love requires work. 3. Not centered on growth of other. Gives us false sense we have arrived / at the peak (8:00) LANGUAGES OF LOVE (LEARN THEM) Quality Time Words of Affirmation Physical Touch Gifts Acts of Service In order for the other person to feel loved, we must understand and speak their love language to them. Otherwise we might as well be speaking in Chinese when they understand English. (10:00) QUALITY TIME This language is all about giving the other person your undivided attention. Most “typical” love language. HOW TO & TIPS: Intentional date night - schedule it in! Avoid routines. Relationship killer. Table topics: http://amzn.to/28LAlse (12:45) WORDS OF AFFIRMATION This love languages uses words to affirm other people. Not just words - but deeper reasons behind them. Give them the “WHY” “I love you” vs. “I love you because…..” or “Great job with that project” vs. “Great job with that project - you put a lot of time in it shows” HOW TO & TIPS: Focus on giving one killer compliment x a day. Compliment in presence of peers / brag about them in front of people. No longer “Thank you” it’s “Thank you for….” (15:15) GIFTS Not materialistic. Not diamonds everyday. Gifts can be cards, can be flower, can be favorite soda from Trader Joes. HOW TO & TIPS: Remember important dates. Focus on thoughtful ness behind gift. Keep log in your phone if she mentions something she likes - order it in bulk one day, disperse over time. (18:00) ACTS OF SERVICE For these people, actions speak louder than words. My dad: Would do my laundry and clean my room. Wash my car. This was his love language. HOW TO & TIPS: Don’t be lazy - pisses this person off like no other. Cook them dinner. Do their Laundry. Make the bed. Clean their space / room / desk / etc. Volunteer to help out more. (19:30) PHYSICAL TOUCH To this person, nothing speaks more deeply than appropriate touch (not bedroom only). Hand holding / hugs / PDA / etc. (22:00) FIND YOURS TEST ONLINE: http://www.5lovelanguages.com/profile/ TEST IN BOOK: http://amzn.to/28O7uCw (22:45) CHOOSE LOVE Unpopular truth is that love requires work. Unglamorous side of things. Toilets don’t get flushed - hair in sink. Get realistic with it - kill fantasies. Not a finish line - real work starts after honeymoon. (24:00) YOUR FREE TOOLS!

You have to get the conditions right, and then wait.” Focus on what you can do - get conditions right, keep improving and striving / accepting more. Certain level can force happiness. Just exists.

Today we’re going over the 10 BEST ideas from: The ONE thing You might also consider getting the full audiobook for this! GET THE BOOK: http://amzn.to/1syDWz3 FULL Video Version: https://youtu.be/03Enex_MWpc BIG 10 IDEAS: (1:50) DOMINOS Dominos can knock over next one up to 50% larger 1D 2” 23D Eiffel tower 31D Mt. Everst 57D Moon Small change - habits build on each other (2:50) THE ONE THING Try to chase 2 rabbits, won’t catch either EX: Starbucks - coffee EX: KFC - chicken EX: Starwars - merchandise EX: Google - search (5:40) THE 3 MYTHS Multitaskers (-28% of day due to multitasking. / To juggle is an illusion - only hold 1 ball at time (College) / Distracted driving = 16% all car fatalities in USA) Willpower - (like a muscle - more you use more you lose.
