Entrepreneurs are athletes.

If you invest in Treasury bonds, Understanding how the Bond Ladder Strategy Works can help you set up your bond portfolio.
Here's how Bond Laddering works:
Kill Retrospective Regret
Past decisions are in the past.
Stop letting them rule your mind and destroy your future.
Build systems to make the best choices in the moment.
"The best preparation for the future is to live as if there were none." - Einstein
Be Boring
Maximize your sleep.
Do the same workouts.
Have a basic nutritious diet.
Most people struggle as they overcomplicate it.
Understand any real results are formed through consistency.
So build the boring systems and habits that guarantee success.
Build Reminders for Personal Outreach
Your relationships are 80% of your happiness.
Build queues that prompt you to reach out:
• Feeling thankful? Let them know
• Reminiscing on a memory? DM those involved
Living happily ever after isn't a fairy tale. It's a choice.
Never Skip 2 Days
With whatever habit you are forming, only skip a maximum of one day.
This creates momentum.
And ensures you keep compounding your progress and habits.
Success is not magical or mysterious.
It's the product of consistency.
Insecurities Run Deep
It doesn't matter how "smart" you are.
Doubting yourself is the only thing stopping you from making money.
Dumb people make stupid money every day because they aren't insecure.
Face your fears.
Find Organic Energy Sources
Spend more time with:
• Work
• People
• Hobbies
• Content
...that give you energy.
Invert it and spend less time with anything that drains your energy.
Embrace Loneliness
Two times a month, do something normally "social" alone.
Eat dinner, go to the park, or attend a movie by yourself.
Build a comfort level with loneliness.
Destroy the societal stigma against it.
It builds long-term, resilient happiness.
Don't subscribe to other people's definition of "fun".
Fun doesn't have to mean drinking, partying, and socializing.
Fun can be a night alone, getting lost in a book, a deep conversation, a walk, creating art, playing music, or doing your work.
Fun is yours; You define it.
Normalize saying "No" without needing to over-explain yourself.
If someone is offended by your boundaries, that's their problem.
The best weight you'll ever lose is the weight of other people's opinions of you.
Before you get married, discuss bills, parenting styles, what belief will be installed in your children, childhood traumas, sexual expectations, financial expectations, family health history, dream home, career, and education, and whatever else come to mind.
Love is not enough.
The age of 15-30 is the golden era of your life.
You make friends and lose them too.
You make mistakes, correct them too.
You fall, you fail, you learn, you realize, you hit reality, you fall in love, and you get hurt too.
Law of (Truly) Large Numbers
Highly unlikely events are much more common than you expect with a large enough sample size.
”Million-to-one odds happen 8x a day in New York” (Population ~8m)
—Penn Jillette
Don’t be surprised when miracles happen.
